Oh no the brain rot.

I'm not going to make it out of this one

Hopefully this will turn into an Icicle AMV when I'm done but I have no idea when I'll run out of energy here.

Almost didn't post this as it's just a WIP, but I'm not sure if I'll actually finish this and I like the body segments.

IceWings have a different body shape compared to NightWings. Hard

Comm art!

Might draw fanart of this if I can remember.

I've been thinking about what the outcome would be if Icicle actually fought Glacier. and well, I think I have an outcome that would make a nice little short story. Icicle lay on a bed within the palace infirmary. To her, today would have been better if she had just died. She had assumed the worst outcome to challenging her aunt would be her death. Icicle knew that at the end of this day, she would either sit upon the throne of the icewings, or be dead. She never considered this outcome. Her rear right claw, what is left of it, lay bandaged, the blue blood staining the bandages. “What good is a daughter who fails at her only purpose!” The words of her mother rang in her head. This is the single worst day of her life, and the reason just walked through the doorway. “Princess Icicle?” A shiver went down her spine as Icicle raised her head. Trying to get up to stand at attention. “No no, don’t get up. I don’t want you to pass out.” Icicle shifted in the bed. “So, have you come to banish me to some far off island?” Glacier did her best to comfort her previous challenger. “Actually, I don’t want you to go anywhere.” Icicle looks rather surprised. “From this day forward. Your mother and father are relieved of authority over you. From now on. You answer to me and me alone.” Icicle takes a minute to respond “why? Why are doing this?” Glacier lets out a sigh. “Because I never cared for how your parents have treated you. To Tundra, to Narwhal, they have ever only seen you has a tool to gain power. To kill me, and be the power behind the throne with you as queen. They manipulated you, never truly caring about the dragoness that they were supposed to protect and raise.” Glacier breathed in, then let out another sigh. “So no, you are not banished. In fact, I would prefer if you remained on palace grounds for the foreseeable future. So please, rest up, it will take time for you to heal.We'll talk about what comes next tomorrow.”... (end of WIP)

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

She so small

ena dream bbq makes me want to get into animation so here’s an attempt at some animation… not great… but like GIMME A SECOND

Lineart and coloring of Coil Drake skull anatomy. Coil Drakes, belong to a group of wyvernids defined by their serpent-like bodies and mobile maxilla called Snake Wyverns. All types of snake wyverns use their mobile maxilla as a means to process food, by moving their maxilla in an up and down motion to slice and crush their food. Coil drakes are unique among snake wyverns as they possess all four of their limbs compared to Lindwyrms who only have their arms remaining and Wyrms which have lost all their limbs. These drakes get their name for their long serpentine bodies and their habit to coil their bodies upon itself when resting.

Wyvernids are diapsids like all reptiles but aren't true reptiles. Belonging to a group of stem reptiles defined by the presence of two middle ear bones instead of the one of other reptiles and the three present in mammals. Allowing them to hear higher frequencies, around 30kHz compared to the 5kHz of reptiles, 10kHz of birds, and the over 50kHz most mammals can hear. Wyvernids are also defined by goethite nanofibers in their bones, like limpet teeth, making their bones the strongest seen in nature. The last distinction between Wyvernids and other reptiles is their lack of a cloaca, instead possessing a genital slit with their anus, and excretory organs all being separate openings in the genital slit.

New shortwing! A silver whip-tail

This scene from one of the Suicide Squad movies reminded me of team ENA so I had to animate it ✨This drawing helped me a lot with the posing of the shotgun!!

A MasterMind art piece I did. Not happy with the colors of the scroll yet or the background but I like how he looks.

oooh have you ever done a post about the ridiculous mandatory twist endings in old sci-fi and horror comics? Like when the guy at the end would be like "I saved the Earth from Martians because I am in fact a Vensuvian who has sworn to protect our sister planet!" with no build up whatsoever.

Yeah, that is a good question - why do some scifi twist endings fail?

As a teenager obsessed with Rod Serling and the Twilight Zone, I bought every single one of Rod Serling’s guides to writing. I wanted to know what he knew.

The reason that Rod Serling’s twist endings work is because they “answer the question” that the story raised in the first place. They are connected to the very clear reason to even tell the story at all. Rod’s story structures were all about starting off with a question, the way he did in his script for Planet of the Apes (yes, Rod Serling wrote the script for Planet of the Apes, which makes sense, since it feels like a Twilight Zone episode): “is mankind inherently violent and self-destructive?” The plot of Planet of the Apes argues the point back and forth, and finally, we get an answer to the question: the Planet of the Apes was earth, after we destroyed ourselves. The reason the ending has “oomph” is because it answers the question that the story asked. 

My friend and fellow Rod Serling fan Brian McDonald wrote an article about this where he explains everything beautifully. Check it out. His articles are all worth reading and he’s one of the most intelligent guys I’ve run into if you want to know how to be a better writer.

According to Rod Serling, every story has three parts: proposal, argument, and conclusion. Proposal is where you express the idea the story will go over, like, “are humans violent and self destructive?” Argument is where the characters go back and forth on this, and conclusion is where you answer the question the story raised in a definitive and clear fashion. 

The reason that a lot of twist endings like those of M. Night Shyamalan’s and a lot of the 1950s horror comics fail is that they’re just a thing that happens instead of being connected to the theme of the story. 

One of the most effective and memorable “final panels” in old scifi comics is EC Comics’ “Judgment Day,” where an astronaut from an enlightened earth visits a backward planet divided between orange and blue robots, where one group has more rights than the other. The point of the story is “is prejudice permanent, and will things ever get better?” And in the final panel, the astronaut from earth takes his helmet off and reveals he is a black man, answering the question the story raised.

Hi all! Sorry for not posting for a while but I'm happy to announce that I turn 17 today! Also here's an Anemone haunted by Albatross and bodyguard Pike because I got nothing else.

Ooh fun colors and angles

OH HELLO!!!

What a wonderful design, such sharp angles and interesting color choice. The shading and the detailing, and the ear shape. This looks amazing!

Frigid needed an icon in a pinch, so more stuff with a base.

And MasterMind

And of course all 4 outlines for size.

Still working on the concept of a comic, as soon as I've figured out the first 'instalment' I'll start working on and posting it. Never done a comic before so I'm excited.

I'm also trying to mess with facial expressions.

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!
