pixels & sketches

I'm back! and mostly doing okay after covid other than some fatigue and brain fog so I'm trying to take it very easy, or as much as I can with the state of things lol. I didn't draw that much while I was sick, so most of these are from just before and after. this sketch dump includes:

pixel art tiles of judi, ellie, hal, briar, aery, & hess, inspired by medieval tiles; pokemon style sprites of aery and hess; drawings of hal; drawings of the dragon kids; and then development sketches for the newest dragon kid named riven!

aery and hess's designs came to me immediately but I had a vaguer idea for riven so I had to do some exploring- I originally wanted him to be a wyvern with nargacuga in mind, but while we were rewatching the movie damsel (on netflix- probably a bit obscure but it's great) I drew the second page of sketches and tried out a more general four legged dragon build instead. I thought his design was missing something until my roommate suggested a frog-like mouth for him to go with his crested newt inspiration and that was basically the finishing touch haha. I'm still getting to know him as a character but he is quite weird and silly so far...
