I colored in another Carnivorous Ruse base, mainly posting this because editing out the webbed talons was a pain. I wanted him to look more hybrid, but dang that was hard to edit. It looks really good though
A group of dragons who disseminate a weekly newsletter around Pyrrhia, headquartered in the city of Possibility. The members can be identified by a greenish stain on their talons from the ink used (which is made from a blend of seaweed and squids ink)

So, back in early January when I was still getting into the hang of things art-wise and still using bases for outlines (I've gotten better since then and mainly use them for references now), I had come across a base on Pinterest that screamed Thief King. I had to attempt it. I quickly discovered that TKB's hair makes zero sense, but I gave it a go anyway.
This sat in my folder after I did the initial base lineart and color (without any face). In an effort to stop staring at my latest chapter while my brain screamed in agony, I decided to go back and finish this up just to say I did.
i just uploaded an animation to youtube! i'd greatly appreciate some support on it since its been a while i've made something like this ^^;; hope you guys like it!
I have a weakness for stained glass designs so of course when I saw @ecto-stone shared a bunch of lineart/coloring pages I had to make a fan color of it! Credit goes to them for the original version of this incredible artwork!
