Part of me is very upset that the dragons I grew so accustomed to over 20+ years have changed... and yet... from just the two I've seen so far... they also feel so... idk, even more accurate for the feeling of how they were described. Thank you for being one to handle one of my most favorites. 🖤

More dragons! I'm always, always happy to do more dragons 🖤! Anytime I'm given an assignment like this I think of my child self and want to create an illustration that would've knocked her little socks off. It helps that I really dig this particular design.

Sketches!

You always look like you're around 6ft tall to me. u giraffe ♥

VERY BELATED HAPPY TO HELP. lmao :D

Sounds like personal issues; misplaced anger/anxiety. I was like that 10+yrs ago. But I realized how toxic & painful it was for other people when a big pro artist for some reason ONLY liked & agreed with my negative rants. I felt so gross & guilty. It was a BIG sign for me to make personal changes.

Wait, am I getting this right? You used the term "directed" and this person instantly assumed it was an AI product, didn't ask any questions or research anything, but immediately shat on the art anyway?

This was honestly why I switched to digital. That, and... the supplies are relatively free... so I'm not wasting stacks of paper on my bad-brain/hand-day failures.
BUT, as we know I've said a million times too many, digital did help me in a lot of very subtle ways how handle traditional better. :')

I can tell. lol

I started following after you started doing the realistic pokemon. Ahhh, the days when I got to chat a bit with you on skype. Your encouragement meant so damn much to me through a following decade of depression that I've finally got meds for. And you're still as fucking inspiring as much as ever. ♥

Imo, calling you an internet personality kinda makes sense, given you've been leading the charge for artist's rights against twisted dumbass corporations for a good while. Every time I hear about something shitty happening to an art community, I tell my friends "I wonder if RJ knows about this yet."
