I started to write about the insane things that have gone on the past few months. It was depressing and full of self-pity. Then I paused and started looking at a very (decades) old sketchbook wherein I found some creatures I’d completely forgotten about. I kinda think they are annoyed with me for this. They don’t look like the type of creatures that forgive easily.
I like the feel of it and I like that it’s a tad unpredictable in how it presents each post. So, it looks like all is good. Now I just have to start making more art available (which means, making MORE art).
Working on figuring out some musculature, wings, and general proportions.
Dragon wings are hard but I’m beginning to make sense of them.
This is rough with lots more to figure out. Probably a lot more to change when it strikes me that something just won’t work in real life (as it always does).
I’ve been poking and poking at the idea of dragons. Dragons in myth and folklore, dragons in art, dragons in literature, cultural differences between dragons, etc. A lot of dragons. And dragon anatomy. For some unknown reason except that maybe I’m a masochist, I went and made up a dragon for no good reason while I was teaching (poorly) myself how to work in Procreate.
anyway…
Turns out, this dragon will be my main dragon in the bestiary cuzz I kinda like him.
From here, I need to work out the little dude’s wing structure, his anatomy, some poses, diet, behavior, and whatever else I can think of that might be important to know about a Forest Dragon. Also need to work on other dragon types and hope I live long enough to get them all down. Eventually, he and the others will be rendered in graphite, ink and watercolor.
And there went my website. So now it appears I need to rebuild the whole thing. In the meantime, I slapped together this plain, boring page so that at least the content is accessIble.
