As I continue to learn more about my dragon self, the more I go back to old feelings. My dragon is the master of elements, able to take forms of many of them. I wanted the first of the forms I draw to be water, so here it is. Never done anything like this before. #ReikaBird'sArt #dragon
A sunset at twilight. Two moons liner in the sky half darkened. There is a vast and endless amount of water. In the center a dragon seemingly made of water lays sleeping.

A blood red moon swirls with red energy in the nights sky. The silhouette of a dragon can be seen rising in front of it. In their claws a soul is crushed, the light of it spreading out only to be consumed by dark tendrils from the dragon's body.

Spooky month is just around the corner, so I have started my art for it! I am starting to believe I might be a skilled artist.

#ReikaBird'sArt What's this? Another new ref update? Yes, I updated some stuff, organized other things, added new info! Hopefully it doesn't get compressed TOO much! 🐉💖
The reference sheet of a grey dragon. The dragon has grey, light grey, black and orange wings. There is various information on the reference about the dragon. There is an anthro form, a four legged form, and two examples of the four legged form and its abilities. There is information about the eye and how it works. The important text reads: "Iridescence caused by oils to help keep the eyes from freezing at high altitudes! The nictitating membrane applies the oil with each blink!" "Scales are formed with tungsten coverings! See scale examples to the right for an example of how they are shaped and form!" "Tungsten plate axe-like blades! They are fairly thick and sharp! The tail is whipped around like a meteor hammer while attacking!" "Tungsten barb! It has no venom, however, if it is stabbed into an opponent she can send a jolt of lightning through her tail and into her foes!" "She has no magic of her own! She has no fire glands to create 'Fire breath'! While glowing green she is drawing in or expending magic that she stole from the environment around her or the beings around her! Her 'Fire breath' is just burning magic! Without storing magic, she has no way to breathe fire!" "She intentionally gets struck by lightning! The lightning is stored in a special organ, magic is stored in a separate organ, and any excess magic is converted to lightning and moved to the lightning organ! Lightning is a natural ability of hers and her body can produce its own lightning with time even without being struck! Lightning can be spat from her mouth, thrown from her claws, sent through her body from snoot to tail!" "Tungsten plates grow over large areas of smaller scales! Areas Where motion occur constantly have smaller scales for movement! The top layer of each smaller scale has tungsten as well!" I don't have enough room to put the rest of the text, sorry!

And with that, it is complete. I am satisfied with it. There is a lot more I could do, but I don't know how and I want to move on to another project. Let me know what you think now that it is done! 🐉💖

I'm learning so much about perspective and scenery and lighting. I am so proud of myself for sticking with it. 🐉💖

Art style and progress at the beginning of the pandemic. A river flows through a green field of grass while clouds drift through a clear blue sky. A lone fisherman, a grey and brown hare - kangaroo hybrid named Artemis, fishes with a bobber. He's wearing a tan button up shirt, a brown vest, and blue jeans. Art style and ability as of now.

I'm working on updating my ref, and this isn't all that is changing, but I wanted to show the recent changes I have gotten done. #ReikaBird'sArt #dragon

Got questions about me? Feel free to ask.
A grey feral dragon. It is a reference sheet with various details about her. The feral form is 40 feet tall or 12.1 meters tall. The orange patterns along their back change randomly with time. Their eyes are white with a cross shaped pupil, but can change to various slits and even round. They have horns for ears and sharp talons. All the orange parts glow. The tail has a stinger on the tip of it, along with eight axe heads around a larger ball shape portion at the end of the tail. The tail has a stinger on the tip of it, along with eight axe heads around a larger ball shape portion at the end of the tail. A closer look at the head. There are three horns shown on top of the head, though there are five total, two are just obscured by the head. There are two horns on the jaw. A closeup detailed view of the eye. Her eye is white with a rainbow sheen on it. The pupil can change to a vertical or horizontal slit, or even round. When she is angry the normal cross shape gets additional spikes half way up each arm of the cross.

Just tag it with # because people can mute the tags easily if they don't want to see it. It also helps with reaching out to folks and gaining an audience. Folks can also search your own profile for your use of the tag. For example #ReikaBird'sArt is my tag and you can browse my profile for that.

Tags also help with discovery so folks can find other piece of art I like through a tag by clicking on one and searching on my profile or bluesky as a whole for that tag. So if someone sees my tag #ReikaBird'sArt they can click it and see what I've done. Same if they click another tag like #vore.

#ReikaBird'sArt If you are wondering why it is taking forever... scales. This is my first time doing them like this. So many scales.
