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

logo design concept for the definitely-not-evil organization from our fallout rp. kinda pleased with it 👍
Drew the fuckass again. He runs like a bear here. I need to make a run cycle bible for different fun types.
MorrowSeer and his wife Secretkeeper. I have an AU idea I'm working on where this couple both have the idea to hide their egg in the rainforest, at the persuasion of Mastermind of course
Explanation below the cut
MasterMind found a fragment of an old book referenceing the connection between the moon and the Nightwing powers. He did not dismiss this literature as a work of fiction because it was authored by a well known scientist of old about the possible connection between nutrition of the mother while laying the egg and the speed of the produced hatchling's development.
The article addressed both the physical and psychic development of the hatchling, acknowledging the small sample size of MoonBorn dragonets as a potential error in their research.
MoonBorn was a common term in the legends of powered Nightwings. Most assumed MoonBorn to be a name, perhaps the name of a powerful seer who predicted other seers hatching. But if it was instead a condition of hatching, could the powers of old be real?
Fewer and fewer Nightwings were being hatched each year. The selection of possible 'test subjects' was few, and the conditions on the island were all wrong.
The punishment for being caught were severe, BattleWinner did not view treason lightly. But the benefits... If his research was correct... He could be responsible for the hatching of the first seer in centuries.
He needed an egg, preferably willing parents, and an opportunity granted only to those most loyal to the queen.
A double moonlit sky was approaching, he had less than a year.
------------------
I'm still working on this concept. I want to explore a world where Secretkeeper and MorrowSeer have similar goals and ideas. Where Moon's abilities are a goal her parents tried to achieve. And where she is trained by both her mother and father.
I might retcon this later though. Perhaps MasterMind thought the moons would make the dragonet an Animus instead, and the mind reading and seer powers were an unexpected result. Perhaps the queen finds out about this plan before it's fully carried out. Perhaps the RainWings find the egg and take it with them to their hatchery. Who knows. I plan to make this a comic as a sort of art practice. Any and all feedback is appreciated.

Someone has probably already asked you this but do you have any tips on studying/understanding perspective? I keep trying to find resources to learn but none of them really stick or are actually useful
so I'm hoping that your issue isn't just figuring out the difference between 1-point, 2-point, and 3-point perspective and how it works, because there are tons and tons of resources available for that, and I'm guessing what people tend to get tripped up on is what you're supposed to be doing with your grid.
I'm definitely far from being an expert on understanding perspective, but I'll share some of the things that helped ME finally Get It.
Things like eye level and different camera angles can be a GREAT tool to use when doing a comic or storyboard between multiple characters of different heights!! I actually drew an example of this exact thing for a friend about a month ago (I used adventure time characters bc they're easy to draw and have a good height variety):
You can use camera angles like this to add variety to your shots, and even use it to help convey something emotional (using a down-shot on a character to show that they FEEL small, use an up-shot on a character to make them look more intimidating, etc etc)
hope this helps!
The thing about woodpeckers tongue wrapping around their head is that it helps them when they bang their head against the tree a thousand times. If I remember correctly it works as a cushion to protect from brain injury. I would like a concussion proof skull please
Shapes!!

all these gay girls are like "wow i want a big lady to step on me" but where is the love for short girls stepping on you? short girl intimidating you with her presence and body language alone until you fall over and she steps on you?? short girl taking down a girl who's much taller than her and making her submit??? where's the love for my shadow of the colossus bitches???
OH YEAH,
SHAPES! Love them. Reminds me of that savanna cat that jumps real high and eats guinea hens. Maybe I'm thinking of an ocelot, idk there was a WildCrats episode about them
but I'VE got a new OC!
IDK what to name him so feel free to give suggestions!
I know this is going to make me sound pretensions but I have to get it off my chest. I feel an unimaginable rage when someone posts a photo and is like "this picture looks like a renaissance painting lol" when the photo clearly has the lighting, colors and composition of a baroque or romantic painting. There are differences in these styles and those differences are important and labeling every "classical" looking painting as renaissance is annoying and upsetting to me. And anytime I come across one of those posts I have to put down my phone and go take a walk because they make me so mad
okay it’s come to my attention that absolutely NONE OF YOU know ANYTHING about how cutie marks work. let me say this simply. a cutie mark isn’t a job being assigned, it’s a special TALENT OR SKILL that the pony enjoys. Most of the time it has a directly transferable job for that skill, like if you enjoy baking and are super good at it WOW! baker. If you are really good at writing and telling stories, author. However, there are some cutie marks that could go multiple ways.
twilight sparkle has exceptional magic ability, so she became a scholar, but she could really do anything that required a good magic skill. same with rainbow dash, her weather controlling job isn’t directly linked to her cutie mark, but it does fit the bill for the job.
i was posed the question of what would a murderer pony’s cutie mark be and wouldn’t everyone know. NO. if somehow murder were to be a special skill, the cutie mark might be something like a knife or a shovel. other ponies might just assume you’re good a cooking or gardening. now with cutie marks like apple jacks, their family has a ‘green thumb’ kind of deal so obviously the cutie mark would be hereditary.
so, the reason i made this post. walter white pony’s cutie mark would NOT be blue crystals. it would be a CHEMISTRY FLASK.
Once you start thinking about humans as a species in a biome, it affects your entire way of looking at normal things.
The other day I referred to female morning joggers as an 'indicator species' in that if you see women jogging in the dark it means that the environment provides migration pathways (sidewalks, clear signs) and doesn't have any known predators of female morning joggers (guy with knife, bear, BigTruck, male morning joggers).
Though, I think that people consider framing humans as animals reacting to their environment as rude.
university is like a video game. you can pick up sidequests. Youre gonna neglect the main storyline. youre gonna end up in a guild of sorts. i just looted a bush on campus and found a sticker
More little guys. Colored and marked with glow scales.
AFTER MONTHS, I HAVE DONE IT!
I have made a blocky stylized dragon. Haven't put his wings on yet.
I've been obsessed with @toadslug 's art for quite a while,
specifically this one
I
V
And I think I've managed to make my own style of the blocky dragon.
Seriously their design has been living rent free in my head for months.
I'm going to give mine clothes.
Idk man that weighted net is a formidable weapon. The performer should be strong enough to use it.
Silly Game Time: WEIRD GLADIATOR FIGHTS! An Irish person dressed as a leprechaun for St Patrick's Day. They have some boxing experience, and are armed with 5 shamrock shuriken and a crozier (a fancy staff like a shepherd's crook that Catholic bishops carry for ceremonial events ... that I suspect they stole from a bishop for this fight). VS A New Orleans performer dressed as a jester for Mardi Gras. They are decently acrobatic, and are armed with a weighted net in one hand (it has sparkly beads on it, which is festive) and a venetian rapier in the other.
You've got $5 to wager on the winner (no split wagers). Place your bet!
leprechaun!!!!!!!
Best friendship. Your Honor, I love them.
Been trying to figure out this run cycle for months and gave up a while ago. Not as simple as a walk cycle unfortunately.
Had another idea for a movement loop. I think my problem is that I'm overthinking these. I want all the frames to be perfect, but they won't be.
I don't know why I've just now been struck by the animation bug but I'm grateful that I might be able to finish old work.
Qibli design as the first of this blog!
I'm also using him as a temprary pfp so I don't look too botlike (aside from seeing my username... but you get the idea)
out of all the characters, I have the most specific LGBT headcanons for him... he's pansexual ambiamorous and trans no explination needed
I saw you do comms? Would you be willing to draw my silly genderfluid lesbian bean?
The rainforest is very gay imo
He's a sea/rain hybrid
I hope it’s good! Very fun to draw, love the colors and iridescence.
and yes, comms (but no payment pls) and requests are always open
and yes. Rainforest is very gay. That’s why all the colors :)
I still can't get over how good this looks. All my attempts to replicate this blocky style have failed. I'm in shambles.
Hailstorm!! Because I love him so much and it's about time I do a fullbody design for him. His big brother vibes are the greatest <3
Despite being an IceWing, I think he'd wear a big coat to look cool. Also, I gave him some red spots from Pyrite (he'd only have these after getting transformed back).
Bonus sketch of Hailstorm and Winter as little kids:
I never actually drew one of the wof chracters, so have the blue one (He's bluer under the cut)
A very curious Pyroraptor spots something interesting (a cycad seed) on the forest floor, and is just...tickled pink by it for some reason.
Here we have an unfortunately dragon who lost both their front legs, and now rely on the strength of their wings to traverse, both on land and in the air.
This fella is a WTA, or Write to Adopt!
The prompt is simple: Write a backstory on how they lost their limbs and anything else you’d like to add about them!
Feel free to write a story in the replies, or to avoid the reply wordcount limit, feel free to reblog! Any type of additional information you create about them is encouraged, and you can absolutely draw them if you want (though this is mainly a WTA, I’ll make a Draw to Adopt soon)!
I’ll give it a few days before I decide where their new home will be! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! 🧡
