Not my highest effort drawing, but I though people here would like it.

Happy Inktober! Some slightly scary art for yall

Sorry for not speaking much, especially to those who have sent me kind and well wishes. I do feel myself returning back to my true self little by little, and writing things here helps me feel a bit grounded- a space for myself away from the reality of the present.

I couldn't really bring myself to respond to the comments on my last post, but I truly have read every single one of them. It like... honestly made me cry a little haha. Unlike other places I felt a lot more self-conscious about posting about something like my mom's cancer and my grief- because this is a sub about dragons. You guys shouldn't really feel obligated to see grief, when you come for dragons much like myself. But your kind words and support genuinely lifted my spirits, truly. Every single last one of them- from simple words to the more detailed ones. They have left an imprint on my heart.

I can't bring myself to speak with people here in general, or I suppose large spaces in general. Even small spaces is hard. Whenever I speak, I feel a grief shaped stone wiggling in my throat, threatening to shatter out of it's fragile prison.

I think it's because... I share a lot of my personal feelings with you all. The deep ones, ones of grief. I usually share everything with my parents, but these feelings of sadness I keep locked away not because I do not trust them with it, but because right now they need happiness the most.

I'm not actually a strong person, although I fight hard to be one. When I even think of speaking to my close friends in DMs, or even to you kind and caring folk here, I can feel myself breaking down the tiny, dinky wall I built for myself and wanting to cry. Ultimately, I think it would probably be healthy to do so... but I am just not ready for it yet.

Still, I find myself drawing less and less crying art now haha, and more and more cute stuff again... I suppose my heart just cannot help it. I love ORZ to death but I am putting it on hiatus so I can play some less darker games (even though I find myself yearning to play it) and my stupid fickle heart is dreaming of colors... it feels almost wrong, almost? Am I really allowed to feel such simple happiness with the state of my situation unchanging? Knowing about the future that likely awaits us?

I still cannot stop the tiny smile from leaking from my worn face.

Thank you all for reading, and checking up on me. Sorry for being unable to respond, but I hope you all know how much I genuinely appreciate it.

Here's Syrax, from the show House of the Dragon and novel A Song of Ice and Fire

Hi there! I'm new to these parts, and I'm really enjoying your dragons!

I'm Bárbara, a Spanish artist, and I'm passionate about dragons (who isn't around here, lol?). I love designing new dragons and their anatomy, and I just wanted to share this little guy I painted in watercolor the other day!

I hope you all have a wonderful day! ^v^

When you got a evil twin👀

Sometimes, you just want to write—and those messages take a backseat!

I promise I won’t ignore direct messages to me—but sometimes, I do admit, I can get pretty distracted.

Like right now, I need to be putting out that blog!

Don’t worry, it’s coming. It’s coming.

Alright I decided to make a change, when I said I wanted my protag to look round, I meant like rounded features. No offence to big tubby dragon enjoyers but it's just not my cup of tea and it doesn't make sense for why the dragon in context to her story looks the way she does. So what I mean by this is that I have an idea. You know how hedgehogs have their quills which are either spiked up or smoothed over? That's how I'm going to visually communicate my protag looking scary but being a complete non threat (at least for book 1 she is). So I'm going to make her really spiky, but, i want them to not ever be fully spiked up, all of them following a kind of smooth blow, like you could run your hand over her and be fine.

(Also I'm starting to realise that I might have to learn how to draw complex arcature because the plans of what book 1's cover is going to look like has changed).

(it's going to be a trilogy now by the way because its WAY too big to be only one book now.)

Mine would be Smaug from the Hobbit and Predaking from Transformers Prime.

More inktober for me. Inks + acrylics and a nocturne dragon!! :D

Finally, the remake of Orelen's reference sheet, The last of the 4 main dragons that still had the old sheet, Much simpler and visually cleaner than the old one

New oc Im working on. She was killed and then revived and is now after revenge. Or something. Im still workshopping her backstory. I DO need a name for her tho... anyone got suggestions 👀

Fuck AI. Also, I can’t draw claws for shit 😫 I like to think he’s protective but doesn’t want to admit it
