Have you ever told us about your boy? Sorry curious cause the arts hella good
i actually haven’t shared a whole lot about him here, at least not compared to benjamin (who i still love, just don’t draw as much. just like honst)
so his conception came about when i hatched this dragon on flight rising a couple years ago
i really liked the colors and the ghost gene had come out a few months prior, it suited him perfectly imo. i decided to draw a character based on these colors and the ghost gene and this was what i came up with
pretty rough, but overall i really liked the design. i’ve always been into skeletal markings and i thought he wore them well enough
i thought of him as a half dragon half imp sorta thing where he was born with spikes in place of where his wings should be (ehh approximately.) over time i ironed out his design and anatomy; i made him more human-like in terms of musculature, legs that weren’t so strange, etc. granted i’m still not great at anatomy. also, he has four fingers now so this drawing below is a little off
he became my fursona i guess, i just love him a lot. he’s the combination of a lot of my favorite OC traits- fluffy parts, spikes, multiple eyes, big claws and teeth, and bones :> here are some quick things about him-
- his fire is bright red (think lithium or strontium) and extremely hot. i almost made his elemental thing red lightning but i plan on making another character with that
- his fire is generated either through breath or his palms; he is constantly very warm. this is opposite of myself where if it’s over 73°F i will die
- he loves peppers, they’re his favorite food. again complete opposite of myself lol. just wanted to have fun with the ‘hot’ aspect
- his bone tail is actually made up of thick scales that cover a thinner pinkish tail. good for tail whips
- he’s 7′4″, i may increase his height at some point
- his name is based on this blog’s old URL, rottclaw. i’m not creative
he’s a constant work in progress. i find i like drawing his face a lot, it gives me practice with drawing longer muzzles that face forward, which i’ve always had trouble with...his body still gives me struggles though, but i’ll figure it out!
