What if I designed Leto II from Dune?

A small project I started taking on. It's not done, in fact it's been a while since I've put work into it, but I've enjoyed it. Hoping people dig. uwu

Was looking thru old drawings, and wanted to revisit doing a dragon/unicorn pairing. Also working in some value studies.

The Chromatic Dragons from D&D

I wanted to try my own take on them since I did the metallic dragons and Bahamut. Finally sat down to do it.

I tried to make the black dragon more crocodilian. Overall, I tried to make them seem less "evil" and more like characters. Green in particular I could see peering over a pair of glasses. Red I didn't change much, just tried to put in some tiger stripes to make them seem more "apex."

I'm very happy with Blue, I really like how I made them look. But what i'm happiest with is White. White in the D&D lore isn't very compelling, so I took a lot of liberties. It took a lot of time to get a design I'm happy with, but I really like how this looks. uwu

I imagine White dragons are more solitary. They have a reputation for not being very talkative so when they do interact with another intelligent being, they can come off as clumsy because they haven't been practicing their common. White dragons evidently also hunt whales sometimes, so I thought if they're ok with going in arctic seas and hunting marine wildlife, maybe they should have a little bit that makes them look more orca-ish.

I tried to model them a bit after knights or vikings. Should also have tusks since they're a cold weather predator. I also wanted this ones neck scales to look a bit ragged like a beard.

Hope ya'll dig!

A sketch I finally colored. Liked the lineart I made for this for a long time, finally took the time to color it up and make it pretty. uwu

Suddenly got interested in Vocaloid characters again, and decided Len should be an edgi monster boy.

Really like that monster form, makes me think maybe I should try to transfer some of that to Blitz (an oc of mine).

Had the random urge to draw Blaziken. Always gonna have a soft spot for battle rooster.

"A ferocious dragon with a deadly attack."

I caught the bug to draw Red Eyes a few nights ago, and also decided I wanted to try to spend more time on it.

Saw something where people were redesigning trains into dragons, so of course, I wanted to give it a shot. uwu

Just a couple doodles from tonight. Tried to push myself a little and give them simple backgrounds.

Recently took a commission, was trying to test it out and see if I’m ready for them again. This was from QueenNeapolitan on Twitter of her character N34 in her kaiju form.

I managed to sketch a lot yesterday.

Like, a lot. ;owo

A lot of studies, but also a lot of subject matter I haven’t really done in a while. A lot of muscle studies, also tried to figure out hand veins. A lot of figuring out necks and tails, too.

Did a lot of Pokemon, very happy with that Gliscor and Lapras. Also practiced a werewolf and some sauropods.

Also, randomly, drew some Donkey Kong animal friends. Been watching Super Beard Bros DK playthroughs, and just felt the urge to draw them.

Hope ya’ll enjoy, was very fun to do that after a long time of just... not.

Trying my hardest to get Walking Wake down, I love him so much, but I feel like I just can’t get them down. So frustrating, especially when I love them so much.

XVmon!

I don't know why I have to make art at 2 in the morning, but I guess that's when I can just work. ;=w=

Just one of my faves, XVmon/ExVeemon. I think I was going to go for more monochrome look, but I wound up going for something more angelic.

Some rendering practice/sketches. The Gengar is the most recent and actually took the least time, about 30 minutes I think.

The dragon took quite a while, and I also did it a while ago, in about Oct/Nov.

The dinosaur was somewhere between the two, both in time and when I made it.

Really like these tests, need to figure out some pieces to make that take advantage of this sort of workflow I figured out.

Quick and kinda messy, but I wanted to draw Rory for Appreciate a Dragon Day. It’s been almost a year since I made him, rather proud of how him. uwu

Since he’s from the modern day, I figured he’d have to land on a building from time to time.
