Please come peek at the new dragon builder version! Here’s a link to the preview of the next big release, where I’ll keep fiddling and bug-fixing before replacing the current live version. You can choose any color you want for your parts now!
I really just love dragon culture. Very little is confirmed so just about anything can be written, drawn, or said and it's always so creative!
I love how the wings interlock with each other and how their little feet plod around in the dirt. Despite being a still image you can easily imagine the movement and patterns of their dance.
Someday I want to make an animatic of dragons dancing and I'll definitely try to incorporate wing holding into the steps.
The first time she's ever gotten to dance
Sunset in the bkg was actually a picture I took (edited obv)

sigh. i cant believe im doing this.
if this gets 8k notes by the first week of october ill promise to stay alive one more year.
I suppose the big reason I prefer to draw a line between steampunk (i.e., taking modern ideas about what a high-tech society ought to look like and projecting them backwards onto an imagined 1890s) and Victorian retrofuturism (i.e., taking what people who actually lived in the 1890s imagined the year 2000 would look like and running with it) is because the second one is typically way more batshit than the first. Steampunk gets you giant robot spiders; Victorian retrofuturism gets you a habitable Lunar surface populated by anthropomorphic bat people. These are both very cool, but the latter has a certain something the former lacks.

I like this
DUUUDDEEE your art is insane!! I ADORE the scales you draw and render, and how you make so much of your illustrations look like real work staff from WoF would make! Do you have any tips for scales? Rendering? Drawing them :0?
thank you so much!! for scales, i'd recommend avoiding circle shapes and instead go for a more angular hexagonal shape! it reduces weird gaps in between the scales and makes the texture look a lot more tight-knit and interconnected
as for rendering, i think my best tip would be to start with shadows first. make a shadow layer, fill it in entirely with the base color for the shadows, and carve out the light source by erasing parts of the shadow layer. I've been trying out a new method of rendering which takes a lot less time but gives the same if not better results (using a color layer on multiply above a greyscale render layer with a color overlay to add color to the shadows! i'll go more in depth with this once i have a finished example piece to break down)
and i usually render scales by filling in each individual scale above the lineart to create an alpha mask and i use a clipping group using the mask
scale mask (normal layer mode, 100% opacity)
set to "color dodge" at 40% opacity, additional "shadow" layer (black color layer set to "erase" above the layers in the clipping group) used to create depth!
This is so old and I’m not finishing it
I like Wings of Fire and Cult of The Lamb. I like to animate and I'm still struggling to find my own art style
