seawing royal family!

NAME THEM PLEASE

This character is a part of a character design challenge that I got the idea for from an episode of Drawfee (love drawfee sm eheheehe) where they generated a description for a character using THIS WEBSITE and they each made a character based off the same description. What I'm doing here is completely ignoring the usage of a single description, and instead I used 3 different descriptions to each make a different character with

Here is the description I used for this character, I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do as I was reading it, right up until the "long unkempt mutton chops". Those really through me for a loop. I omitted quite a few details, some on purpose and some by accident (I straight up did not see the 5'5" height, I just read "tall" and rolled with it) Here are some little facts and details about them:

They (and their species) currently don't have a name, and I want you all to help with that :D preferably something ethereal sounding or space related

They are androgynous and use they/them pronouns

They have a bit of an ego due to rising up the ranks so fast

They are 100% not the main character, no matter how much they think they are

They are 8'6" tall

Their species speaks in the voices of all their past ancestors, making them sound sometimes male and sometimes female

The crescent symbol thing in the background is the mark that they have across their back, I just didn't wanna do a turnaround

The color of their eyes represents their rank in society (Lowest rank = red, highest rank = purple

The color of their flames represent how close they are to reaching the next rank

Their spear is a placeholder because I didn't want to do complicated weapon design in a character design challenge

The flames on the sides of their face were meant to be the "long unkempt mutton chops"

I forgot to include the pointed nose so I thought that maybe they have a helmet to go with the rest of their armor that has a pointed nose

They have zygodactyl feet, which goes weirdly well with the pointed nose idea. I did not mean to make this character as bird-coded as I did but I'm not unhappy with it

Thulite Winglet

Plus greyscale for sillies (kinda made this cause the election has me stressed man 💀)

Also started re-reading the 2nd arc as I finally got my hands on the books and it has me thinking of my own Jade mountain winglet.

Icewing: Poinsetta, she/her, A glittering icewing who is pretty and knows it. Loves to collect and gets rather flirtatious. Can be boastful but is overall kind and always up for a spa day. Comes from an icewing village that wanted to send their very best so she has a bit of pressure on her shoulders.

Mudwing: Lillypad, she/her, A short standing mudwing covered in moss. She lost her sibling troop in the war she was recommended to the school by Argile. Very shy but has opened up to the others over time.

Nightwing: Echospeaker, she/her, Taller than average and with oddly light pink scales. Has some mindreading skill but only after she knows the dragons name. A strong silent type she has grown to loosen up by being away from her parents. They were the ones that sent her off to school.

Rainwing: Melon, she/her, a long bodied rainwing of vibrant colors. A very chatty gal but only with her winglet, not because shes shy but she does not like others. She gets introuble for her disgusted faces and shifting to annoyed colors at the other students. It takes a bit to get past this hard exterior. She heard of the school through sun time gossip.

Sandwing: Desert Rose, she/her, A large sandwing Animus. She has not really used her powers as she does not understand them. Shes rather playful when shes not worrying about school work. She lived in a village near the scorpion den, the den being where her parents heard of the school.

Seawing: Flamingo, she/her, Short but strong. She has a warm personaility and loves academics. She studies hard and hopes to be able to write her own scrolls one day. She heard about the school through seawing chatter.

Skywing: Dawn, she/her, a lean skywing with shimmering wings that radiate heat. She decorates herself with gold and is an avid lover of gemstones. As well as a good cooked meal. Daughter of a blacksmith she heard about the school after her dad gave some weaponry to it.

In my current word tensions are still very high due to the ongoing war. Though the current teachers of Jade mountain have kept the school open finding education to be important even in times of war.

THIS TOOK WAY LONGER THAN IT SHOULD HAVE HOLY SHITTTTTTTT

anywayy, this is Teryx, my stupid gay barbie doll moth oc. I've drawn him like twice, which is the most I've ever drawn one of my characters. ik, kinda sad. I decided to make him a fashion model just so I had the excuse to draw him in any outfit I want. You will be seeing more of him in the future, mark my words

Really wish I tried harder with his clothing design, they all feel kinda flat tbh, especially since a lot of the lighter colors got washed out

2024 Art Summary :DDD

On December 31st 2023, I decided that 2024 was gonna be the most productive year of my life, not just in terms of art but also just with life in general. I'd say I did a pretty damn good job holding myself to that. This was the year that I worked my ass of in school to make sure I graduated on time, got my first job, and officially launched my commissions (despite not actually getting any this year, rip).

One of the resolutions I set for myself was to finish at least one project every month, and I WOULD'VE actually pulled it off if not for school getting in the way. March and April were definitely the busiest months of the year for me. I almost didn't finish my October drawing because of my job but I pulled through last minute. Overall, I completed about 70 projects this year, give or take, which is ABSOLUTELY INSANE, especially for me because I work pretty slow most of the time.

The amount I've improved this year is genuinely insane to me, like if I showed my past self all the stuff I've made, I think I would have a heart attack and perish. I feel like I'm becoming the artist I've always wanted to be, and there's still an infinite amount of things I wanna do. My 80 page google doc of ideas doesn't even begin to capture it all.

I've been considering making videos on DeviantArt to maybe give advice to struggling artists, nothing super serious, probably just little 3-5 minute rambles to hopefully spark some motivation out of people, whether it be on how to draw something, or how to approach creative challenges, or even just life advice in general. I'm probably not the most qualified to be giving out serious advice, but after everything I've done this year, I feel like all the knowledge I've gained deserves to be shared (:

I may have one other thing that I finish before 2025 if I get to it in time but no guarantees, so that's all I suppose. See you all in a year HEHHEHWHAHAHAGDHWW

Winterwatcher :D

My last piece of wof fanart for now, I was getting very burnt out on drawing dragons

I am eternal

Death will never capture me

My skills exceed his

I like Zer0 a normal amount

Behold, Lyney from Genshin Impact (he is the hottest character in the game btw) if he decided to take up goth fashion. I got this idea from me and my cousin talking about how he could pull off a Lyney cosplay, and how I absolutely couldn't, but if Lyney had a dark mode I could probably pull that off. I definitely still couldn't, but that did culminate in this little guy.

I tried to get this out last month on my cousin's birthday, but his birthday also just so happened to be my first day at my new job, so the stars didn't exactly align on that one
