happy wbw! what are climates and storms like in your world?
hello bat!! it is no longer wednesday! but! I am answering this now and I appreciate the ask very very much all the same
I, in complete honesty, have not thought too much about this. there's a solid range as far as climates go and as far as I have thought of the storms aren't rly that different in Quapara than irl. now that you've asked though, I have some ideas forming! maybe weather can be a little magic, as a treat? maybe the Crystalline Capital controlling its own weather has effects on the surrounding area. that could be cool
as far as climates go, there are forests, lots of hilly terrain around the mountains, mountains obviously, a big desert that kind of comes with mountains, yk yk the usual. BUT here are some regions I find particularly interesting (all names are temporary):
Sabrani: the desert here is actually chunks of rock of varying sizes that float due to magic and appear to make a pretty normal desert from above! there are orcs living underneath there, with their city both carved into the floating rocks with bridges and such to go between and underneath it on the normal ground below :)
Badlands: this is where the ash elves used to live before being driven out of the area by the Much Less Cool Orcs. it's highly volcanic in nature, but since it's in the north it's also very cold. unfortunately it's now full of aforementioned Not Cool Orcs which quite enjoy killing anyone who's not Just Like Them (including other Not Cool Orcs)
Dracolvia: this country is built on and within the skeletal remains of the dragon I've been talking about. for the most part it all seems like low, rolling mountains, but its not uncommon to see inconceivably massive bones sticking out of the land in places, or what just seems like smooth shelves or outcroppings of rock is actually bones, etc
ty again for the ask!!

Now this is something worth having a milestone of, not page 50 lol (though strictly i have made a total of 75 posts here at this point). But yes I tried to make an old-style family portrait (by using a paint wash) with a young version of Dracolvia’s queen and her parents. A couple of mistakes here and there but I’m just really happy with this :D
the little things on the end of her sleeve look like really hilarious hands but they're just wavy cuffs if you look carefully lol

Working on the background of our little boy Derek over here (a younger version of the blue head from the last page) and integrating robots from page 29 into the lore of Dracolvia. So I made a rolling robot maid! I think she’s pretty cute :)

Finally back to sketchbook pages. I wonder if these have been missed... well I couldn't think of much so this ended up being a very very little explanation of the varying features of Dracolves.
Sorry if progress is going slow, school interviews all the way in November are giving me stress already DX

A page with the babies, Luke and Rachel. I like the top image but I probably shouldn’t have tried to fill space at the bottom because I don't really like that little bottom sketch - oops.
(also accidentally didn't scan a page so I missed one day)

Some slightly random character sketches from my Dracolvia character universe (green-head is Ben and dog-ear is Derek) as well as one of Haiiro and another of myself.

Oho a page that is in colour!!! They always take much longer but I really loved this one! I was really only experimenting with style so the colouring isn’t quite right e.g. san-san (3) has a darker skin colour than I had planned and no 2 from page 47 looks a little ridiculous. But seriously, I love this new style omg

back to recent pages ya’ll
Sometimes I set out to start a page on a particular topic, then get bored. I did that here. The first part was to try and set out how I would alter Faith’s appearance then it shifted onto drawing with the focus on shoulders. Ye I know. I wanted to finally colour something but my lining pen dried up  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A little sketch of Kay, with an inspired change of style. I think it's super cute but it still needs some more development if I want it to stick.
(btw expect some digital sketches/pages in the near future before I go back to paper ones)

Back to some simple character sketches. Some of Chassidy, she's cute. Another of me and one more of my bae pair, faith and Kaden. Faith is cute but Kaden is literally my favourite character. My shorty~

I’m so excited to share an entirely new book with you! I started a new sketchbook that will be focused entirely on developing dracolvia and using the wonderful new dip pen I bought!! This drawing was made way before posting so I can safely tell you that using a g-pen is an absolute dream. I started of dripping ink everywhere but now it’s fantastic and smooth sailing.
