More giants at the beach! This time it's Nikki belonging to @ktqtpi.bsky.social enjoying a late afternoon in the waves ^-^ As an aside, I should probably update this commission type from "sketches" because I keep over-rendering them oops |D

#art #macro #furry
Digital drawing of a massive anthropomorphic shark rendered over a drone photo of a beach. She is lounging on her back with one leg bent and leaning slightly over the other with one arm supporting her head while the other rests on her slim belly. She has a bob of wily, vibrant blue hair held back in part by an orange visor. Long, shark-fin-shaped ears protrude from her azure locks. Her eyes are half-closed as she gazes at the beach full of tourists. They are like ants compared to her massive size. A thick shark tail is draped casually over a sea wall with the tip fading into a deep teal. It is late afternoon and she casts a long shadow onto the waves as water gently laps at her hips, limbs, and shoulders where they meet the ocean.

Excited to be doing commissions again but my reach is *so* much smaller due to the fragmentation of everything now than it used to be on Twitter. But I'm also a much better artist now so here's hoping that helps!

Throwback to that time years ago when I sent my friend who lives on the other side of the planet a card. This is all it said:
Photo of the inside of a blank greeting card. A dragon has one paw raised and waving. Her eyes are pointing in different directions and her mouth is open in a silly smile. There is a small speech bubble that simply reads "Hi"

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's... both? This time it's @spicybirdboi.bird.gay who I'm sure means no harm with that fireball...

I tried pushing the atmospheric perspective with this one which was an interesting challenge given the complimentary colors.

Digital character drawn over a photo taken from the window seat of a plane. The image depicts a massive anthropomorphic phoenix character striding through the ocean towards the plane. He is hundreds of feet tall, and the water only goes mid-way up his shins. One feathered arm is extended forward and holds a massive fireball. His orange face and yellow beak are fixed in a cocky smirk as he wades towards the viewer. Between the triple crests of spikey feathers that grow from each side of his head, a crest of firey black feathers runs from his forehead down the nape of his neck. He has a golden yellow belly and legs with orange feathers covering his back, thighs and arms. His tail and arms have vibrant red feathers around the sides, and firey bolts border the orange that flows down his thighs.

Another giant dragon commission finished! @talon.is-grow.ing has once again found an aircraft to investigate :3

Noodled around with some light texturing even though these are "sketches". When I'm done with this batch, I need to deep dive on digitally rendering texture.

#art #dragon #macro
Digital drawing of a massive green anthropomorphic dragon looming over a city skyline. The viewer is looking up between buildings at the underside of an airplane that is directly in front of the dragon's smiling face. His scales are kelly green with a wild mane of golden hair falling around his head and shoulders. A deep green bandana is unsuccessfully restraining it. Tan scales trail down his neck and chest which are occluded by skyscrapers. One massive paw is supported on a building with his white claws resting delicately on the facade. His vibrant orange eyes are focused on the airplane and his mouth is open in a wide, friendly smile that reveals a pink tongue and white teeth.

Alrighty, first of the photo-draw over commissions is up! Definitely over-rendered this, oops :'D Here is a very large @jrain.bsky.social emerging from behind a waterfall. What was he doing back there? Giant dragon things, no doubt.

#art #dragon #furry #macro
Digital illustration of a massive blue anthropomorphic dragon emerging from behind a waterfall. The figure is a digitally drawn over a photo. The dragon is hundreds of feet tall, and his smooth skin is glossy with water. His lower half is partially obscured by the waterfall which runs down his legs in torrents, splashing off big blue plate-like scales on his thighs. A thick tail lined with fins snakes out from behind him and is cupped upward. Mist obscures his feet. He is looking down with a friendly smile at two characters on the rocks below. They are absolutely dwarfed by his immense size.

HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS to my friend @talon.is-grow.ing !! Here's to many more years of inconveniencing infrastructure with your exceedingly large stature :D May this next revolution around the sun be as metaphorically magnificent as Talon himself!

#art #macro #dragon
Digital sketch of a green anthropomorphic dragon seated on the planet Earth from the perspective of the moon. His legs and tail hang off the sides of Earth, and one hand is raised in a friendly wave. A red birthday party hat is nestled between two ivory horns in a mop of blond hair that is barely contained by a brown bandana. His mouth is open in a warm smile, and golden wings are half folded from his back.

So many things in life are inconsistent and it can be tough to grapple with unexpected change. But one thing I can apparently count on until the end of time is the dealership trying to buy my 10 year old car ❤️

Hey folks! I'm about to open some slots in my queue. Would anyone be interested in a photo draw-over commission? You provide the photo, I provide the character! You can be giant, tiny, or any size in between :3 They start at $75 for a full body character

And here's the last of the giant dragons doing giant dragon things, courtesy of @marchdragon.bsky.social! This really reaffirmed my need to learn proper atmospheric perspective, LOL. I super appreciate the commissioners from this last batch of work! 💜🩵💙

Colored digital sketch of a gigantic blue anthropomorphic dragon as viewed from the window of an airplane. He has a tuft of dark grey hair springing from between ivory horns. A row of grey scales trail down his muzzle culminating in another ivory horn between his nostrils. A row of teal plates run down the front of his torso. A similar teal hue covers the inner membrane of his large dragon wings. He is kneeling amidst partial cloud cover with his knees just visible through the clouds. His spaded blue tail breaks through the cloud cover. He is hunched over and focused on creating a giant storm cloud from the surrounding clouds.

I'm so so so happy with how this lil guy turned out! I've got about another 4 or 5 to make for my next event in the new year, but here's the first one so far! This little kobold has a bit of articulation in the torso, shoulders, tail, and base of his neck. All handmade by yours truly!
A red kobold creature with a staff, a green tunic and a blue cape. He has a gentle and friendly expression on his toothy face with big yellow eyes.

Microsoft paint drawing of Avira the dragoness laying in a bed in a dark room. She is staring at the ceiling with a slight frown. Text above her head reads, "Why am I having such a hard time falling asleep?" Microsoft Paint drawing of Avira the dragoness laying in bed in a dark room. She is holding a smart phone above her face which is casting an extremely bright cone of light on her face and the surrounding bedding. Her face is completely whited out in the glare, but it's clear she is smiling.

Microsoft paint drawing of Avira the dragoness holding open kitchen cupboards. She is looking at a blank space in the cupboard that is otherwise filled with dishes and cups. Text above the illustration reads, "Why are we always out of coffee mugs?" Microsoft Paint drawing of Avira the dragoness sitting at her desk. The desk has some standard items like a notebook, stack of books, and keyboard and mouse. It is also covered in used coffee mugs. She looks at the desk with a resigned acceptance while holding a fresh mug of steaming coffee in her hand.
