Unfair

This will be uploaded soon to the general public as well, since it’s technically an advertisement comic for the plushie, but I’ll share the new comic here first!

Makeship added a 10 day extension for the plushie campaign :D So there’s time to grab one (Or two, or three.. I ordered like, a dozen for my cousins and friends)

Hopper plushie!

Yep that’s right!


Hopper’s plushie is now available, so you can have your own personal menace storming around your home, hoarding your valuables and being really-really cute!! (Don’t mention that last part though)

As my patrons you can also get 10% off if you want to grab one! You’ll have to use the following code when ordering: MS-DVVG365CN7SP

And the link is here! View Post

Good intentions

Tried a new background style out on this one! I think it works in some ways but could use a bit of adjusting in places. Either way it’s a great opportunity to draw appealing backgrounds without spending the majority of my comic-making time on them!

Black smoke

Lore time!

Apart from her gleaming white scales and unparalleled malevolence, Avoryx also stands out with her breath ability. Instead of the good old destructive dragonfire, the dragon expells black smoke from her maw, and a tar-like liquid spills from between her teeth. Her tongue and teeth are stained black and the stench is as vile as you could imagine.

Obviously it’s not as destructive as the classic breath of fire, but seeing a figure far away in the sky surrounded by omino...

A change of mind

It’s the last year of high school + exams have begun so I haven’t had much time to draw 😬 But here’s a small comic anyway!

Also, Hopper’s father still doesn’t have a proper design and I want to work on that with you, my patrons, so hopefully you’ll see some more polls! Seems like purple won in the last one, so he‘ll have a nice plum coloration :D

Swordfish - First Concept and Now

I thought it might be fun to redraw the very first design I made of Swordfish. They were very crude and chaotic doodles, and there isn't anything to share that looks nice enough, but he was still fairly cute! He looked a bit more unsettled and the color palette was less saturated.

The main changes:

1) Colors are soooo much more saturated now, especially the main blue tint of his scales.

2) The head fins only have 3 segments now. No real reason for changing them then, it just...

Avoryx the Wicked’s Guide to Scalecare

Some skincare advice by everybody’s favorite vile wyrm!

I hope 2023 has been treating everybody well so far! There’s been a bit of a drought with posting here, so I’m hoping to remedy that. One of my goals this year is to definitely post more often and consistently!

Hopper’s scales are pastel pink, her mother’s a pure white. That means her father is..

I thought you might like to have a word in what Hopper’s father would look like! I struggle with choosing a color, they’re equally fitting for a dragon.

Sketch and doodle time!

Sharing some stuff I’ve drawn recently! I should have a new short comic uploaded tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I’m finally on a proper summer break and it really is doing wonders for the soul. Very happy to be able to draw and share more than before.

1. You know how many waterfowl have their heads tucked into their feathers when asleep? Swordfish does that too :) No nice soft feathers for him though. Juvenile dragons do not have hardened scales and tough, leathery wings - not...

Currency change from USD to EUR

Hi, just a quick heads-up! For some reason I had my currency set to USD instead of EUR despite residing in Europe. I switched it to EUR. Now if I understood correctly, Patreon should have all my current patrons grandfathered in, so the monthly payment shouldn't change for you on its own. There will be a currency conversion for me, as written here:

"When receiving a pledge in a different currency than your payout currency, Patreon charges a 2.5% currency conversion fee."...

A patient wait

Dino time!

Allosaurs are definitely my favourite dinosaurs, drawing them is a comfort thing lol. Here are two of them, patiently waiting for the adults of the pack to finish hunting and bring them to the leftovers. This pack is not exactly fit for caretaking, so the young will be waiting for a while. And hoping their hiding spot won’t be found by anything hungry.

Avoryx the Merciless

Or “Mommy”, as Hopper calls her.

Evil to the bone. Cold, cruel, vengeful. A heart so vile as hers exists nowhere in the world. The most dragon-y dragon you’ll find. Basically, Avoryx is a massive menace and everybod’s terrified of her. Except for a little pink dragon that aspires to be just like her utterly horrible mother. Hopper has some big pawprints to fill.

Finally got a design down for Hopper’s mother! I don’t have a lot of info about her...

Bread cycle


Small dragon species and corvids occasionally engage in trade with each other. Magpies have learned that dragons desire gold more than anything, and so they can fetch a hefty price for it!

One slightly more polished than the other..

Hopefully I‘ll finish these soon! Afterwards I’ll probably go back to white background comics lol, or use a mix of both.
