Spacedrakes

i shouldnt be awake, have a lore post

just a teaser of the bigass thing i'm working on

these are two tropic drakes wearing some shawls based on their colony/city

the red one is the main city in io, where red sands meets a green sea. the other shawl  being more river-occupying tropic

also totally custom beetle/firefly broch I made.

for perspective, these two heads are about 1/10th of the canvas size.

part of upcoming drake refs

doing some parts of the big species 3.0 thing and there will be different clothing based on where drakes live.

here's just a little sample of some tropical clothing from Io.

When drakes aren't being mega scifi, they wear traditional robes, shawls, loose fitting clothing that flows but with a tight form-fitting bodysuit underneath. (always ready for combat basically)

Also in relaxed settings they will default to traditional earrings or ear-clips if they ...

So since I've been playing

Mhs2 again I decided to share with the hubby the HORRO of khezu.

;_; the uncut dick monster from hell

Shared hideous abomination for context

Also some other monsties for fun

I hate what they chose for tigrexs colors in this game. He’s hideous. Like a football team mascot.

And I still loathe all rathalos/ians because hideous boring Wyvern with even uglier goblin ears

i've messed with the turbine SO many times i lost count. I know exactly how it should be viewed from this angle too, I just really dont want to repaint everything...GODSSS it mak...

I must be a glutton for punishment

I decided to replace MHStories2 from the beginning 🤣

Moira custom drake design [HD]

commission for a cool lass Ribbi from deviantart of her new androgyn drake Moira.

She's got one of the new patterns I recently added to the form as well. retty fun design, created a few custom things too like the beebot and some neato visor/binocs

PATTERNS

They'll be open for immediate creation/commission.

orca: obvious

xokhe: okapi inspired

linnaeus: fish inspired

how to make white fur black

when I released Nile, kit asked me how she gets black and I said she just steps in a vat of dye

it's actually true but I thought it'd be funny as heck to show a giant hand holding her above the dye and her fussing about it.

FYI this is an actual legit lore post, lol. she does canonball into a tub of black then uses a ladder to step out and rinse off quickly before the black has time to set. the result is a steely grey color.

Very serious lore post

you didn't think she hand painted herself black did you?

just DUNK in a vat of black.

Will be working on commissions and also personal/random/whatever

feel free to come hang out if you so wish.

thus far

another progress shot, I started to add textures but mainly have been working on fixing perspective.

it's hard because the pic is REALLY old but I am apparently waaayyyyyyy too lazy to redraw from zero so..yeah.

I'm also too lazy to hand paint texture so obviously I am using textures/tools. like any sane person would xD

the wall in the bg and the VERY grey panel under the turbine are probably aaaaallll gunna wildly change. I DO want some wires hanging o...

some people may remember this painting

it started in 2018 and then rotted because I wasn't confident in my skills at all.

I mean look at the silly humanoid legs all skinny and sad looking, and the perspective on the mechanical components O LAWD

so I've been updating it and making fixes along the way. currently the turbine needs to be brought into the same plane of reality as the metal grating ez is sitting on

I've been admittedly flitting about with what I work on and I actually picked this pic up agai...

Emain

note: way gate/ship are intentionally incorrectly sized because you wouldn't be able to see them if I resized them correctly. they're SMALL compared to a planet, ok? ok.

there are dozens of space stations in this solar system, this was just the first one ever built with spin gravity, it's an ancient station with very few docking ports and has been around for many years as it was being built during the global wars on Emain that took place for 2 centuries befor...

was doing some concept art tonight

contains some new/old concepts. way gates are very old, and a few newish creature ideas.

fun fat, most drake worlds do not have futuristic vehicles.

they have animals.

only space faring drakes have much use of vehicle outside of ground work [farming, mining, etc]

so for drakes raised on planetary/moon colonies, they have bonded companions for various tasks. from milk, to farming, to just basic travel. even on emain if they had been able to keep th...

Sael reference

since Nile is supposed to be a more "me" sona, I had to make one for my hubby too.

So here is the most hispanic drake ever. He may as well be a caramel dog x'D

my man picked the colors and patterns, so he's sable and merle patterned and he also picked what he wanted his mane and tail to look like--most of this is his input with a few things like the chest stripes being mine [but he rly wanted some inverted color markings ]

originally he had LAVISH horns...

just some icons for myself and my babe

Emain solarsystem: [edited]

Astaris: The sun in the solar system of Emain, a white supergiant star. Several billion years old. Burns with an intense heat that radiated the surface of Etmos. Slowly devouring Etmos and will eventually cause the planets explosion from its massive gravitational pull.

Nile nile crocodile [+alt]

I keep making drakes because I am having a hard time finding one [other than ezrael] that really feels like "me"

so here is Nile. Intended to be another "persona" but who knows what will happen and if she will click with me or not lmaooo

she has a lot of original-Rika's patterns, but in albino. so back flecks and stripes but different. her color she should have been without the albino is actually very similar to ez, a dark grey with a darker grey underbelly. I MAY have scene with ...
