A few other freebies I did a few months back as well! Never got the chance to post them until now.

(adding in a link to my shop in case anyone’s interested~ these will be added next week/end of this week!)

I heard you guys like dragons, so consider these:  Imps, sleepy Gaolers, and pretzel Spirals (just realized I forgot to draw the wings on the Gaoler and Spiral)

Working on some sketches for some upcoming YDH (your-dragon-here) type commissions, because I wanna start offering full-bodies again but need to get back into practice. :T

They’ll be in batches of 3-5, still deciding if I want to add 2 more to this batch because I really want to add/draw a Veilspun and Guardian.

Freebie for Krogulec !

Banescales are a lot more fun to draw than I expected, though I need some more practice with them.

Some bust commissions I did for Cinderspark a few months ago!

"A pearlcatcher with a backwards horn should never be trusted..."

Was meant to be a quick sketch, but I got a little carried away. -shrugs-

I never wanna draw crystal and facet ever again.

A more stylized version of another one of my FR pearlcatchers, Talia! She's super evil, snarky, and she's always plotting something. Honestly? I'm in love with her rn -heart eyes- Her tongue was cut out by another unknown dragon, rumor has it that dragon was exiled for practicing dark magic. He taught Talia how to use dark magic, but she decided to betray him and turn him into the council. He escaped and before he disappeared, went to visit Talia and cut out her tongue for being a snitch. ;;

Headcanon below!

Pearlcatchers with backwards horns are untrustworthy and should always be watched. Although it’s extremely rare to find a corrupted pearlcatcher, they do exist. Corrupted pearlcatchers lost their pearls causing them to be outcast-ed by other pearlcatcher groups. Some pearlcatchers who have lost their pearls are able to find a new identity and peace in other dragon clans, but very few pearlcatcher’s never find peace and are unable to move on. Instead, they become bitter and are slowly consumed by anger, betrayal, resentment, etc.

Pearlcatchers can also be born corrupted, although this is even more rare than a the prior scenario. It is thought that to be born corrupted, at least one parent must be a pearlcatcher who has lost its pearl. But again, this is just a speculation, there is no evidence for the cause of a corrupted pearlcatcher. Corrupted born pearlcatchers are more of a rumor than anything else, but it is possible. Talia was born corrupted and it’s speculated that her father was also corrupted and the one who cut out her tongue.
