Comic has a cover now. I still don't know how to tag this stuff to get it out there 🥲

Anyway check it out at clinkscales.thecomicseries.com

#webcomic #dragons
A green dragon is trapped in a glass orb, held by a hooked, leafy tree branch serving as the top of a staff. The title reads "CLINKSCALES", with smaller text saying "A Webcomic by samkee00" and "Not Even the Gods Can Stop History From Being Made"

Smaugust day 5, Cinder

Attempting to figure out drawing the head shape of another species in my setting. Didn't quite work but I still had fun.

#smaugust #smaugust2025 #dragons #clinkscales
A heavily scaled dragon with a short snout and two sets of eyes, one of which is catlike and the other of which is compound, like an insect's. She is drawn with a black pencil brush, but her teeth are colored in white and her eyes are colored orange, and she is wreathed with orange outlines of fire.

Become a little more real, even if it hurts.

Smaugust day 4 (Paper)- skipped 3 (Jungle), since I'm trying to catch up and I draw jungle dragons all the damn time anyway. I don't love this one, but I'm not dedicating a ton of time to all of these.

#smaugust #smaugust2025 #dragons
An antlered eastern dragon, covered in scales and with a mane down its back, rips itself from the paper upon which it is crudely drawn. It becomes less crude and is shaded as if three-dimensional where it has freed itself.

Late night Smaugust #2. Not totally satisfied with it, but oh well. Figure I'll do most days with this level of detail and only render ones that stand out to me.
(It's forbidden because they're different species, not because they're gay)
#smaugust #smaugust2025 #dragons #queer #clinkscales
A sketch of two dragons from the neck up, their necks twisted together in an embrace. One has pointed, back-swept horns and sharp features; the other has large frills and softer features. They both look very content. The word "forbidden" is written above them.

Decided to actually try to do Smaugust even though I got a late start. Prompt 1 is very relevant to one of my OCs, Kip, so I took some time to make something decent (I hope)!
#smaugust #smaugust2025 #dragons #clinkscales #webcomics #OCs
A glittering green dragon sits curled in on himself inside a round glass bottle, one of his front talons resting on the wall. He looks at the staff crossing behind his body. It is a living branch, the top wrapped around a glass orb with a glowing gem at its center, illuminating the scene. Both the dragon and the staff are surrounded by leaves.

Depicted mortal magic being used in my comic for the first time, and I'm actually decently pleased with the effect.
#dragons #webcomics #magic #clinkscales
A green dragon bites into the bark of a broken but still-living branch. He channels some sort of energy into it, manifesting as veins of bright, cromatically-aberrated light starting around his heart, traveling up his neck, and then back down into the wood where he is biting into it. The dangling half of the branch shudders and begins to creak.

The page this panel is on is not actually going to end up featuring in my comic, so I'm posting it here now so my hard work on the background back in 2023 can be appreciated
A green dragon with silver underwings is viewed from below, flying through what appears to be a maze of elevated treebranch-pathways dotted with hanging lights and covered in moss.

I don't usually upload individual pages here but I'm actually pretty proud of this one overall. Page 5 of a practice/prologue chapter of my comic, Clinkscales, which you can find on Comicfury if you're interested!

Temeraire and Laurence, from @naominovik.bsky.social's #Temeraire series!

#Dragons #Art #Fanart
A massive dragon rests in an open field edged by trees under a blue sky with wispy clouds. He is shiny and solid black, except for blue blotches along the edges of his wings, and he has large frills around his face and at the end of his tail, and large whiskery tendrils at the end of his snout. He wears a shield-shaped silvery pendant studded with sapphires and a large pearl around his neck. In the crook of his forearm, a blonde-haired man in a bottle-green, vaguely napoleonic-era british styled coat sits, petting the dragon's neck and holding a book. The dragon looks down at him, content, and flicks his tongue.

The horrid old comic panel version is actually 5 years newer (2019) than Kip's first proto-version (2014)...

Oh, I guess I never posted this guy either. This is Nidium, Dune's pre-story clanmate and closest friend.

#scaly #scalyart #clinkscales #oc #dragon
A flamboyant-looking western dragon peeks flirtily over his shoulder at the viewer. His scales are glittery and lilac-colored, and his wings and horns are a stunning iridescent purple-to-orange shift. He wears a couple strings of wooden green leaves and gauzy, transparent fabric wraps.

I never actually posted the Bluestar I put on that commission sheet

#warriors #warriorcats #furry #furryart #cat
A detailed but cartoon-style drawing of the character Bluestar from the Warriors series. She is sitting calmly, looking slightly up at the sky. Her blue-gray fur is losing color around the muzzle, but it still shines. The reflection of a streak of light is visible in her eyes.

Adeii, scorned wifeguy and egg-father of Rhoek and Kip. I think this is about the level of quality and detail I'm going to aim for with my comics.
#dragons #dragon #art #scaly #oc #clinkscales
A dark gray-green western dragon with a metallic silver belly and horns, wearing a stiff-looking leather neck-drape and boots. He has two red beads hanging from one horn and a vertical rectangular brand under his eye. He is sitting and looking away from the viewer, appearing rather brooding.

A little wonky, but here's the Basilisk's crown up close. It was created long before a divine miracle that split the colorful Leiir from the Xarelei, so it matches the Xarelei. It's made of green-enameled silver, while the enchanted flower is the glowing mineral radiite.

#art #worldbuilding
A laurel-like crown made of shiny green leaves similar in shape to the IRL plant nasturtium. The leaves are set with quartz cabochons to look like water droplets. A flower made of pink, blue, and orange glowing crystal floats above it all, a ruby set in the center of its six petals.

His design changed pretty drastically in color since the last version. I also changed his name (it used to be Hiram of Sanguine).
A similar dragon to the original image, but while his belly is still reddish, his scales are pure white. His wings are still holographic, but they are much longer and only have two 'fingers'.

The most high-effort Clinkscales redesign I've done yet, for a guy I will hopefully never have to draw again: Sanguine of the Spire, Basilisk of Calderix. The wings were a nightmare, thanks @nardy.bsky.social so much for the help even though I was mean the whole time 😭

#dragon #clinkscales #art
An absurdly shiny cherry-red western dragon, with rainbowy holographic shine on his wings and horns. He wears a crown reminiscent of leaves, with a glowing crystal flower floating above it.

Damn, maybe I should check out this "Slightly Damned" thing...
(Comic's by @raizap.com and I highly recommend it)

Finished the promo art for my most cringe hobby (administering a Warrior cats roleplay Minecraft server) a little bit ago and while there are some things I don't love about it I'm pretty happy with it overall. Also updated the logo.
#warriors #warriorcats #art #oc #cats #furry
Four portrait/bust drawings of star-speckled cats on a background of green, gray, teal, and magenta. They are a brown and tan tabby, a black/white/gray oriental shorthair-looking cat, a brown and white tabby, and a fluffy orange and cream cat with a blue collar. The text "PAWSTEP PATHWAY WARRIOR CATS ROLEPLAY" overlays their bodies. A black linework logo reading "PPWC", the text making up the body of a stylized cat, on a background of a stylized Minecraft grass block.

And here's her previously-most-recent reference, from December of 2020.

Yet another Clinkscales redesign/redraw, this time the comic's main antagonist, Infinity. Edgy name, I know, but it's been that for a long time so it's stuck.
#dragon #dragons #scaly #scalie #art #clinkscales #OC
A shiny but dull-colored green western dragon. She has silver claws, spikes, and horns, the latter of which are bent at a sharp angle. Notably, her chest and the underside of her wings appear to be a window to a vast, spacelike expanse, and there is a shiny pink orb within the windowed part of her neck. She wears wraps of simple white cloth, decorated with shiny gold bands. Her eyes are solid black with vibrant green slit pupils. The same dragon, but without the fabric wraps and gold adornments.

The wing shading on this guy frustrated me so I updated it a little bit.

Finally designed my character Jask. Is this my first non-redesign Clinkscales post?

#dragon #dragons #clinkscales #scaly #OC #art
A western-style dragon with brown keeled scales, gold eyes, a white plated underside, and massive green feathered wings. Their tail is curly and prehensile. They have a pair of small white antlers, the left of which is broken and wrapped in blue cloth. They are draped in a periwinkle-colored garment reminiscent of a toga, and look rather forlorn. The same dragon, but without their accessories. They are revealed to have a broken plate on the underside of their neck, showing raw-looking red skin and a strange neon green wound.

As usual, the previous version of his reference. I honestly still really like the wings on this one.
