Why are flight rising dragons so
fullbody ref and style experimentation
Ignore that my watermark is my usual username and not actually my FR username 😭 I'm so tired I do not feel like fixing it rn.
I also need to go in sometime and fix that MONSTROSITY of a color palette, but. Yeah that's a project for Another Day.
Link to the her <3
Flight Rising be like 😔
Dragon (yeah it's Velkurpeni again 😔)
Cannot for the life of my tell if I like this or not. The goal of this was to make her look dark and foreboding, but the whole thing feels very. Bright. I probably should've made her face darker, but I put too much time and effort into the colors there to wanna change it too much. I probably went a liiiittle overboard with the flicked stars too, but ehhhhghhng it's fine. I put enough Big Stars to make it look right I think.
Anyway !!! This is the results of my painting session. I am happy with it, all things considered!
I'm also probably gonna have my mom scan it in on her printer so I can have a higher quality image for Velkurpeni's bio 😎
Small art dump of my babygirl Velkurpení. She's an eldritch god and is also very silly, and she has become a bit of a comfort character for me (despite the fact she's technically my own OC).
Also have a playlist I made for her because I'm proud of it.
To give a quick summary of the playlist, essentially she's just kindof out floating in the void, until she starts wondering about what other life exists. She finds Sornieth and reaches out to a few select dragons, who after a collective existential crisis, have an Arcane dragon send out a response. She comes in, and this little group becomes a bit of a cult devoted to worshiping her in return for her knowledge and experience existing since the dawn of time.
Velkurpení, as they've dubbed her, watches generation after generation of her little cult come and go, pondering how their lives go so fast, it's like they never existed at all. With each new generation though, they become less receptive to her. Less respectful. Finally, some of them insult her in a massive way, and Velkurpení is furious. In a fit of rage, she smites them all.
She realizes what she's done later, and she mourns.
At the end of it all, she's kindof faced her own sort of Lovecraftian horror. Her eyes have been opened to the tiny intricacies of the things that have happened around her, and she can't remove her knowledge and understanding of it, meaning she can't go back to the long chain of great existence she's used to. She is forever Changed and she must deal with that.
Breed, raise, and train dragons on Flight Rising!
^ The girl <3
I've gotten a bit of art commissioned of her and I'm 🥺 I love it so much. I love seeing her in other people's styles and interpretations.
Also getting a lore commission from Disillusionist to better word all of her lore! I plan to create a nice formatted bio for her afterwards 😤
But ye !!!! She is my stupidly expensive little eldritch horror and I love her <3
Don't think I've shared these yet. Made some little pixel icons for Velkurpeni's bio! They are, in order:
Portrait of her, stars, light halo, proto wings, her main ridgie wings, feathered wings in the style of the skincent she's wearing, eyes, candle, more candles, smoldering candles, snuffed out candles + smoke, her skull (now with a broken horn), supernova, white dwarf, plague halo, black hole, shadow halo.
Each one correlates to a different paragraph of her lore (written by Disillusionist on Flight Rising), and each paragraph is also assigned a song.
Velkurpeni:
Breed, raise, and train dragons on Flight Rising!
And her (shortened) Spotify playlist:
HI Y'ALL WHICH SKETCH/COMPOSITION LOOKS BETTER (more details below)
Sketch #1 (horizontal)
Sketch #2 (vertical)
Note: I am selecting option #1 in the poll so I can actually see results >: which means one vote in that will Not count.
Both are of my big eldritch space god looming over Earth.
Sketch #1 (horizontal) is curious arrival, and is also the more 'biblically accurate' version of her. She's kindof noticing Earth for the first time and making her presence known.
Sketch #2 (vertical), she's pissed because of humanity's spite and is about to absolutely flame everybody. Also a lot more solidly defined (because she's been tainted by human perception ooughou symbolism).
Gonna be painting this in gouache. I may very well do both btw! Just. Tell me which one I should do first 😭
