“Which Fictional Universe Would You Rather Live In—“ Star Trek. Star Trek. There Is A Correct Answer

If I may ask the artist a question (I love your blog and art by the way, it's reignited my interest for my own WoF AU), how do you draw their feet?? I am hard struggling trying to draw the talons for my dragon OCs again and I can't seem to figure out the basic shapes for their toes and talons. Do you have any advice? Perhaps a visual example?

Ty!! glad to have inspired >: ) bringing you over again into the dark side (lol)

anyways! little secret is I started off as a big time warrior cats fan so my beginnings are cat. This fell over into my wof art as many of my dragons have paws. Id say its a little less "paw like" now but still thinking of them like paws makes it much easier

my tutorial is probably not the greatest but if I can give any tips its to remeber to break down talons into simple shapes. Need a sharper look? Go for more squares or triangles. Softer or heavier? Ovals n circles. Its easy to get overwhelmed thinking of details like scales before even placing down the shape of the talon

if you need references I highly recommend big cats! or if your feeling adventurous any animal with a paw or claw. Have fun experimenting with what feels and looks right to you!

spooky

Ok but like this thought isnt related to the art above but i got some nail polish today and one was called anarchy. Yes. Yes it is my favorite. 

anyway about the art. I made this a bit ago and forgot to post it here. this is my 2nd painting piece ive ever done in mediabang. hope you enjoy.

Azazel, our water flight correspondent and figure head, has written back some exciting news from his recent trip back into the ocean waters.

"In light of the recent chaos with the cryptic message from Tidelord, many of the fathoms have begun to settle down! Truely a rare and even slightly worrying sight. tensions are high and worry over the still missing deity has made daily life in these waters rather awkward."

in the corner of the page a small drawing of Azazel in his pond bed showed his homesickness. You cant help but miss the lively water snapper. He continues on the back.

"Now speaking of the fathoms I will admit I have never seen them more than a drawing on a scroll. While exploring the colder waters under the twisting crescendo, a pair swam past. They are HUGE! Ive havent seen such large dragons in a long time! Hammerhand and Rainwater are the two I spoke too. A lovely couple whom settled due to their 3 eggs, they thought travelling to deeper waters with the current news would be too dangerous. I explained how our clan was just above the waters, though a tad more inland, and they were quick to accept my invite."

Another drawing, this one of the giant dragons. You wonder how theyd fit in this clan. You move to the next page.

"But sadly we realized that they are better living within the waters than to try and fit into our windy field camp. So instead of living with the rest of the clan I decided an honorary member status was the better choice. I also plan to move my water school into the western waters, at least for a little I know the cold will be a complaint."

Sadly the rest of the letter was torn and soggy, but you could faintly see another drawing.

"Sup big fella"

more clip studio paint practice

wof arpg

currently getting silly in a wof arpg server.

First fella is Bubbles, he/him, a seawing with dwarfism. He doesn't like you but loves your money. (As well as beautiful plants, he'll never say it aloud tho) Won't back down to a fight ever. He may or may not have henchmen.

2nd lady is Flop! Also known as rabbitsfoot, she/her, a leafwing with an animalistic trait (gives your dragon an animal feature. I chose rabbit ears) nickname for her clumsiness she can hear you from miles away but the moment she whips around she gets a face full of ear. She's a sweetheart and enjoys crafts

Last dude is Pickle, he/him, a seawing with both gigantism and elemental (similar to firescales but you can give your dragon scale of any element. I chose electricity for an eel look 👀) BIG fella. Not the smartest guy but he's got passion. Even simple tasks are done with 100% effort and dramatics. While not very intelligent he's really good at insults and comebacks (or at least he thinks 💀 cause what are you gonna do? Fight a walking lightning bolt?)

Final art is a piece of bubbles with another arpg members oc Haze the skywing. (Next doodle will feature Pickle cause arpg member said it would be funny if someone asked "how the weather was up there" and was met with "stormy." *lightning bolt*)

Dragon of the week

heyo been a bit lol, been up to a lot recently but one thing i wanted to share is my covers for a dragon of the week thing over on the wof amino

I tried putting them in order from newest to oldest. My personal favorite is still battlewinner cause I loved drawing the lava. Least favorite is probably kinkajou as I dont feel I did her justice, dont hate it but I would go back and make it more vibrant if i could. Id also like to give dusky a new piece as that one is much older than the rest

also rough to know I broke the streak of "DOTW" being on the left 💀 lmao

your art is so beautiful, and I’m loving your fanseries so far!!! do you have any tutorials on how you draw your dragon wings? (specifically in more dynamic poses or when they’re folded in) keep up the amazing work! :D

Tysm!! im glad your enjoying!!

I need to preface this by saying I often stumble through drawing wings so I had a bit of a harder time describing how I draw them. As well as the fact that there isnt really any wrong way to draw wings given how much variation you can given them in fantasy. Still though I hope I can offer some tips

Biggest tip is to get the arm down. pretty much any flying animal has this arm of sorts. I find laying down the shape of it really helps shape the rest of the wing. I added the most basic 3 lines I use in the step by step. (Sometimes I use my own hand to imagine where the "fingers" of the wing go, cause you cant always find that just right reference with birds or bats. Imagine if you taped long straws to your fingers then draped a blanket across your shoulders.)

2nd tip is with folded wings. Often if your characters wings are folded in they arent the focus of the piece, so dont put too much detail in those folded wings. Draw em and leave em. Its super easy to wanna put detail everywhere but sometimes less is better. But of course you can always add detail and my biggest tip if you wanna add detail is remember the folds. a closed wing will often have a scrunched up look.

And of course my final tip is reference and practice. Reference wise id suggest birds, bats, and pterosaurs (as much as you can from an extinct creature lol) There is also plenty of dragon wing tutorials out there that get more specific.

Your also free to trace over my work for practice as long as its not posted publicly, tho I highly recommend not just doing that. Its important to experiment and find your own style n' method. its also a bit better to understand what your drawing more than just knowing muscle memory movements (ex. understanding how the arm of a wing works can help you to need less references as youd know how to postion the webbing, folds, fingers, etc) Tracing wise your most helpful resource is bats.

Apologies if i was all over the place but hope this helps some!
