I had the hardest time with vector as well, but don’t give up! In my (proven to be fraud) art school, it was the only class I very nearly failed, but in hindsight- it was clearly due to poor teaching. Once it finally clicks, it STAYS, like working puzzle pieces.
Your work is completely gorgeous!

I love this so much. They look like a character that could either be delicate or incredibly strong at any moment. The colors feel so true to life, I’d love to see the world they walk through.

Love progress shots. And soooo badass

FWIW, there were some genuinely nice people giving me recommendations for dragon themed YA through your thread and it was appreciated.

In my defense, I wrote that too quickly to edit 😅 but yes, you’re correct.

I don’t sensor so much as know what my child does and does not enjoy reading. If there are more adult themes than he wants to read, he’ll lose interest and not wish to continue. With a more adventurous plot, he asks for the whole series. I’ve never actually sensored him :)

Oh yes, thankyou :) and Eragon and the Wings of Fire series.

He has! Thankyou :) as well as the entire Pern and Wings of Fire series.

My son is in this age group and desperate for fantasy dragon books, but boy-howdy do I have to go comb through them first. If it isn’t murder, it’s sex and murder, and while romance and risk of life can absolutely make a story, I can’t tell which books are for older or younger YA. The gap is huge.

HA. Thankyou, I hate feeling emojilliterate.

They can’t argue its basic function. An artist uses a reference for creativity. AI uses it for a scrambled recreation. It is incapable of creativity- only logic. Whatever creativity we find in AI comes from ourselves, the AI does as it’s programmed.

I know so many people born on November 16 (husband included) and it’s hilarious cause they’re basically all valentine babies.

That is…not the side of tumblr I’d ever like to see. Yikes.

I feel like I watched the wrong movie. Which movie y’all watching.
