I'm posting this to my secondary account because it involves my self-insert, but the dragon version (she's gone through a few changes since I posted my Fursona reference sheet). This isn't strictly related to my AU "Medieval Villainy" where Black Hat takes the form of a dragon and two kobolds work for him as his "top minions/servants". A blue bear then joins the group as a failed result to the kobold named Flug dabbling with Alchemy and magic. By their dragon overlord's orders of course.
On the side I've been playing around with a self-insert version of the AU that isn't canon to actual AU at all, and this was one of the sketches I did in one of my school notebooks. Then I decided to color it digitally, mostly to fix Demencia. I don't know why, but I struggle so much with drawing her in any form she's in. It's like I don't know what to do with her expression or action. (More explained under the Read More.)
As far as stories go...it's pretty open to interpretation mostly. At least for the top one. I don't know what Dragon Hat (that's this AU BH's name, yeah...though I've been purposefully not drawing the hat while at school to avoid anyone recognizing him) and Pendara (Meg/BlackDragon/BD's dragon name) are doing or talking about. I just drew him looking like that, then I drew her probably trying to explain something...but I'm not sure I want to think about what this could be. (Unless you guys think it's a date and she's a nervous wreck. I'd totally go with that. XD)
The bottom sketch has more of a story to it. If Pendara were in this AU and the boss had taken an interest in her (not necessarily in a romantic sense) Demencia would try to fight her. Feeling 'threatened' by Pendara being a member of her (Demencia's) beloved's 'species' (he's not actually a dragon, just prefers the shape of one in that time period) and having delusions that she'll be "competition." Kobold!Flug would be scolding her, having that worshipful attitude toward any dragon, being under the impression they're all as evil and ruthless as Dragon Hat. He'd be thoroughly disappointed to learn the truth...
This is all hypothetical of course. The AU itself is meant to follow the canon of the show but in a different setting, so Pendara wouldn't be a part of it. I don't even have a BlackCoffee storyline for this AU either...but if people are interested I could do more art for this take on the AU in the future.
