Moar Takeout Box Dragons

A breakdown of medieval armor, since a lot of pieces are required to create a full suit.

one character design thing id recommend is don’t be afraid to explore drawing different body types epically when drawing exaggerated proportions. it can do a lot for simple designs and can create some fun characters

best way I have found to comfort people who are endlessly apologetic of things outside their control (often as a result of shitty relationships) is the jokingly hyperbolic accusation of [gasp] "so you're behind it all!"

like someone giving me directions who starts apologizing profusely when I miss a light as if it's their fault--[gasp] "it was you who petitioned city council to build this intersection in 1893!!" because it snaps them out of it and they laugh like. oh yeah. that's a ridiculous thing to blame someone for. I'm not that guy. you're not that guy. it works.

Green eyed lion! Idk, just felt like drawing a lion. Hope you like!

the coscoroba swan is the smallest waterfowl species considered a swan, found in southern south america. these birds can live for upwards of 20 years. males are extremely territorial and slightly larger than females, and defend the nest vigorously. they feed on plant material, small fish, and aquatic insects.
