Spacedrakes

Dossier: Vok'ronix Shrona

big mean nasty worm

but delicious

hunted by the southern drakes on Io [amari]

They eat everything. The meat, the cartilage, the EGGS [once removing the sticky gunk]

they can get much larger than this guy here. the longer they live, the bigger they get and like anacondas, the more eggs they can lay at a time. [like over 200 eggs]

Dossier: Akikerata [spikehorn]

Big porcupine cow rhino camel tittty monster

we do eat these

Dossier: Mijorn

shown back in dec 2023 during my Drakecember challenge, here is the dossier entry for these very very good boys.

Mijorn are a strong, light weight creature with long filaments of down covering their entire body [NOT FUR--zoom in on his face and the closeup, its plumes!]

They eat fruits native to their biome [swamps, Serala region] but they've made homes in nearby colonies as they have a symbiotic relationship with drakes since early colonization. Drakes are mainly c...

Dossier: Maneater

what a nasty, nasty worm!

I've also dubbed it the upside-down dick-n-balls worm.

"If you plan to swim in swamp water, don't be an idiot, shuffle your feet to check for worms."

Dossier: Sholla

A terrestrial land/river snail divided into numerous species. Almost all have a form of bioluminescence and use it for flashy displays.

Unlike earth snails/slugs, sholla are properly blind. They can come with anywhere from 4-10 antennae as well. They are very delicious both raw and cooked and are in MANY dishes. They're even enjoyed by southern drakes who prepare them in a spicy peppery sauce.

bulk post

all the critters I've sketched at least partially

just a little man

I wanted to render one of the creatures from my dossier, because I had so much fun creating them so I threw this together. I sadly CANNOT render the full body because getting just this far capped my CPU out. I desperately need a computer upgrade but don't have the 00's of $$ to spend on it. My only goal for this year so far has been buying pc parts/upgrading and/or replacing my current rig. There is so much I have to learn in the 3d world, so I'm sad I am behind in my studies and am quite lit...

PL zine feature: Orcas

when I am writing this it is actually Feb 2nd, but we can't post our entries until April 15th so this will be a scheduled post and when you see it it will now be april. woohoo.

for the Polar Lights digital artbook/zine I snapped up Orcas before anyone else could. We all had to pick a different creature but I was one of the first if not the first person to submit an entry. Very glad I got the orcas cuz my backups were less-fun for me to paint lmao. Orcas are my all time favori...

sketches for dossiers[updated as I add more]

if no one minds I'll use this post to post my sketches as I complete them and just update the post with a new notif for you all.

yes sholla were the 2nd ones I sketched. it may seem silly, but giant delicious snails that glow were a high priority for me to make.

and of course following them were the [shockingly] popular, CHUGS.

I'll probably also make a bulk post for when each critters dossier is done and just post them all there because its a LOT of cri...

Emain & Iovian dossiers: Luloc

The first of MANY creatures. I'm going to be animating it in the end to be interactive, so people will be able to flip the pages. it actually makes me MAJORLY miss flash player because there are NO interactive web players online anymore, which means hardcore css or html5 coding to make it work [aka, huge pain in the dick]

Lucky me I already had a dossier file I made in 2021 laying around, though it had a much more rustic color, so I modified it heavily and we ended up wi...

jungle creek study

some moss covered boulders along a creek in vietnam, referenced a video I was watching. round rocks are actually really hard to paint

Upcoming content poll [YOU MUST VOTE]

vote accordingly. if you have a 2ndary option, feel free to list it in a comment.

Kokynos: The fallen [HD+ closeup crops]

"There he was, the beast whom once allowed us to sleep in his colony in the southern reaches, no more. Misshapen, diseased, black and glossy he crowed from the cliff, an ear piecing screech that sounded the alarm for all other infected. The sign. "Come."

He was no longer the proud creature we had once known, he was now one of them. The dead and dying, the insane, the broken. He was our greatest enemy."

Kokynos: The fallen

-full deets under 20$ post-

yep

art is very very slow, I have some severe pneumonia, my lungs top to bottom are flooded in fluid and I'm VERY sick. like hellp, nebulizer + mask + albuterol sick. They have me on some HIGH dose of amoxicillin but i'm still drowning in fluid and anytime I take a deep breath my throat makes a frog sound bc of pockets of fluid in my lungs. so I have that going for me

/fun

anyway, here is the MAN. the myth, the legend. hell itself in dragon form

oh and that ...

Guess whooooo

it's been a long time

Fern 2024

gave my favorite son a facelift

please dont draw him or try to get someone else to draw him, he's the only character I refuse to let anyones hands on and frankly, I dealt with him being stolen in the past so I don't want him thrown around the net because that's when ppl get their filthy greasy fingers on them

Fern 2024

My most beloved character. Gave him a facelift using the 2019 sketch as a base.

Not finished yet so have a wip of the last dragon on Emain

kit raffle [vid]

forgot to export the file

spino go grr [commission]

simple sketch comm for coco, as ordered

Raffle prize for kit of Circe

♥ guess I lucked out as much as kit did when the magic wheel stopped on her name instead of one of the other 30ish ppl who entered my raffle on bluesky. not complaining though, always love an opportunity to draw drakes and test brushes

edit: made some edits/tweaks

a few creature concepts [io natives]

nuctopan, aerix and eponix

nuctopan are the owl-cat creatures that are "cats" --and since the robot decided they're a delicious stew I guess they get eaten too. as my man said "thats 4 chicken thighs not just 2!!"

aerix scribbles: just me concepting  how the 4 wings on an avian-critter can work. these are where i gave up and drew stickmen feet and blobby feathers bc honestly i hate drawing birds lmao

love birb. hate to draw birb.

Beachside market

A morning market bustling with drakes buying bolos and veskii and cooking delicious grilled foods with southern spices.

Thanks for everyone who let me borrow your drake

"I've successfully created a new language"

And I'm learning it rapidly too.

This was a sample of a secret project I have been working on diligently.

along with the drake script i've created I now have a functional language. it is constantly growing and improving, but shortly, you will be able to greet other drakes with phrases like I did tonight.

After 4 days

Rio has decided she is not mother material LOL. She hadn't been on her egg all day (or night) and I caught her standing in her water bowl trying to bathe so I gave her the swimming pool and let her have at it. She has completely abandoned her "child" so I'll be removing it before bed tonight and I guess putting it in a garden bed as fertilizer 🤣 we have something in common. Mothers WE ARE NOT.

Have some pics of her post hilarious bath and absolutely soaked looking like a ...

googoo eyes

finished these icons from ~last year~ because it was his birthday and I like to do art ontop of everything else for birthdays.

It happened

I'm a dad

Rio surprised the shit out of me today. I thought this was coming because she's been VERY affectionate. She was trying to build a nest 2 days ago but then she did the most pigeon typical thing and laid an egg in her box with no sticks no fluff and nothing whatsoever. Literally identical to the pigeon memes you see online.

Anyway I can't take her egg or she will lay more and I'm expecting another because pigeons always lay in pairs. Last pic is her i...

commission? sketch? [read]

I want to buy Rio a few pairs of pigeonpants so I can start letting the birb roam around for a lot longer. she's a P1 size so [small] in pigeon terms, which is good. as her clothes cost slightly less. I found an e-shop that makes pigeon pants and they're having a clearance sale so I thought I'd nab a few

sooo I can either take donations [if you are in my huge giant drake scene for ex. and want to tip-] at paypal.me/zerodrake 

or if you want something like a portrai...

big dick wip # ???
