some more of the sketches i've done to get myself accustomed to some new art programs i'm trying out. four of them are colour sketches for the last OC spotlight poll, because i had actually never drawn vasilisa and thomas before, and it was a couple of years since last time i drew nergui and ezra. then there's some fluid boye tsaga sketches and marjani (my fennec fox spirit) being snooty.

countless lifetimes ago, long before mortality, khuthlya the dragon god created the first of his children, a dragon people called the rhaajim. unbeknownst to khuthlya, the lord of the sun shamassah put his heart and spirit through a test. when he passed, shamassah rewarded him by dipping one of his draconic children in the fires of the sun, and so the first golden dragon came into being. the child, roshan, grew up a warrior, a lesser god in his own right and every bit his father’s son but l...

thanks again to sonya mann for suggesting 'the void' as a MOTM theme!
concepting this monster began with doing some research and looking for inspiration. i widened the scope a bit and also read up about the concepts of 'nothing' and 'emptiness' and 'zero,' just to give myself more clay to build bricks with.
i'm generalising a lot here, but it seems the concept of 'void' has often been associated with nothingness, emptiness, non-existence, and the absence of things...

this process is a good example of how i use big brushes and sloppy brush strokes to do a rough pose doodle, before using smaller and smaller brushes to refine the sketch, bit by bit. this is when i iron out the kinks of the anatomy and posing, followed by figuring out...

qaragan was a member of clan enkhjargal, a weaponsmith and warrior by trade. he was known not only for his great skill at the forge but also for being the biggest werewolf most people had ever seen, towering over even the rhaajim (the dragon folk) and with arms the size of tree trunks. personality-wise he was solid and reliable, calm and patient, never one to abuse his size by acting like a bully. if anything he used his formidable presence to deter fights and conflicts from even hap...

thanks again to marissa and sonya mann for the suggestions that lead to september's monster of the month! <3
the prompt 'queen bee' naturally made me picture a very royal monster, standing tall and ruling proudly over thousands of people. she needed to look majestic and formidable, the kind whose presence fills a room the second she walks in. i wanted her design to look luxurious but not necessarily decadent, and like you'd do best to respect her sti...

currently writing the september oc spotlight about qaragan and realised i had no fresh sketches of him, so i decided to re-familiarise myself with this character by drawing him a bunch!
(the oc spotlight poll ended with a tie but what tipped the scale is that oaks had left a comment about wanting to know more about qaragan! so ijs that leaving comments like that can help determine future poll ties, hint hint)
