The ancient city

That poster in the back is some art I did for YourLocalYoutuber’s(https://youtube.com/@yourlocalyoutuber69?si=5_YoYu68P0MJekRa) Super Speed Bros. Just a sneaky little reference

Age- 19

Gender- female

Species- dragon

Blamed for a plague that swept her village when she was a young fledgling, Faijra has always felt a distance between herself and her peers. When an old friend flees their village one day, leaving a trail of blood and fire in his wake, Faijra pursues in search of answers.

Stoic and aloof, Faijra struggles to connect with others, the bitterness she holds towards her youth resulting in a sort of distance she feels with her peers. She struggles with finding the right words or response, resulting in awkwardness at times. Years of mistreatment have trained Faijra to hold her tongue, often forced to remain silent in the face of ridicule but always burning inside. Despite her cold and bitter demeanor, Faijra has a brave and protective nature. She is fearless in conflict and upholds a certain sense of honor. She feels a natural drive to protect those in need. Those who get past her walls will find a playful and teasing but empathetic dragon beneath. To the few she does connect with she is fiercely selfless, a trait that may just result in her own destruction one day.

Faijra can breathe fire, resist heat, and set her talons on fire.

This was just me playing around with a more simple shading style

I’m in a yapping mood so want to give an update as to what I’ve been doing art wise

Barnstormer is still underway(although no one cares-). I haven’t posted about it much because 1. To be honest, I just forget I have a tumblr and intend to share this story here, and 2. I’ve been very meticulous about this comic. I want everything to be right before I begin to share it in earnest.

I’ll be honest; I’ve had a script written for a sort of short pilot to the story exist for a long time now, maybe like a year or two it’s been sitting? I really need to actually draw it so I can begin to show what I really have here.

This guy has a new design

Bayu has been very difficult to… well, everything about him. His design has gone through many iterations and took so long to settle on anything. I’ve been waffling back and forth on two paths I can take his character.

I have enough content that I could begin chapter one of the story. I haven’t yet, though. I’m being too careful I know, but I want all the major story beats to be decided on and the plotholes filled in before I begin in earnest. I want the comic to feel coherent all the way through.

I tried animation for the very first time

I do want to do more with it in the future. One of my favorite activities is daydreaming character amvs on car rides, and with this new skill unlocked I could definitely work on what’s been bouncing around in my head for awhile.

That’s really it. I regret not being more active on my blog, because I don’t really have any followers anymore. I don’t think anyone cares, but it’s still fun for me to make this post saying I’m still here, still working on my little project. Still hoping to get out someday.
