Draconic Summit Spring 2023

This is a really bare bones drawing/reference image, though I decided to draw myself! Yes, I am a lean bean in the literal sense with that long xenomorph anatomy.

Gorgeous

By the way sweet love, you forgot your side horns.

Ah fucc

Very nice!!

So we're starting our essence of draconity zine entry--we knew for sure we want to do another oracle card (based off three tarot cards: the moon, page of pentacles and the hanged man) and have it focused on our headmate Isabell. Initially, our sketch was her looking up at a huge moon with the outline of a silver dragon upside-down on it. Her back was to the viewer and a runaway scroll took the place of the traditional river. But that seems too literal and too much moon card.... This is our finished rough! We were going to flip it to match the hanged man tarot card, but at this stage with all the blue then you wouldn't be able to see anything of what's going on. We feel like we could add more details yet, but they'll have to come later if we do once we clean everything up.

Very nice :)

ooohhh loving all the little details so far

holding this nasty little human oc up by the scruff like a wet kitten until everyone looks at him (throat/neck injury warning and just a general... sort of vague sickly zombie look lol)

SPOILER

This might not be the right place to get into too detailed a discussion, based on the themes of the art and whatnot, but I'm curious what the lore/backstory reason for the neck injury is?

you can ping me in another chat or DM me if you want! i don't want to spam here lol but i will gladly tell you about it

The Tachanigh-Kelkaith

The merchants who work near Denxalue don't believe that the muddy theome is worth anything in culture, but Denziu the Clayseller has been collecting pots for a few years now. The finest pots in Denxalue shall serve as the proof that Denxalue's artists are talented! The only wrinkle is that Denziu is unwilling to travel that far alone, so zie j...

I'm not the biggest fan of pizza, so cons being defined by them sounds quite terrifying! (edited)

Aaaahhh gotcha. Maybe I will draw another one with a burrito or a burger or something. Pizzas and other such foods in general are what I think of, food-wise, for cons. Pizzas are just... easy to draw lol

i just realised, is that dude going from the middle of the pizza??

These last few days i've been doing some painting, this seems like a good place to share

Ayup! I be a talented and rude derg who consumes the middle of the pizza first. And is it really a proper pizza if the cheese isn't stretchy enough to reach halfway across the room? I think not! Super stretchy pizza cheese!

Lovely work! madarahappy

Wow, it's so ethereal I feel, I feel the longing for the sky in this drawing, for some reason And the slight rainbow shine on the second one is beautiful dragnhearteyes

makes me happy to hear it made you feel somethin like that

I definitely feel a bit of the same too but I've had a pretty heavy draw towards space for all this life It's like, the special interest for me and has been for as long as I know

I know a good amount of space dragons! or at least dragons who think space is neat. its cool to see

7:26 am

this is a different tangent but I kind of wanted to ask.. I'm interested in setting up on a website to post my art and have a more otherkin-specific presence. would anyone have recommendations?

Ember

I’m not sure, though I do know there is the option to add pictures to posts!

YOUR FIRST PAINTINGS? that would've taken me my whole life

while it can have image attachment, dreamwidth is more geared towards writing and general journaling. It can work as a art blog my thinking of using dreamwidth as art gallery

I was thinking of maybe attempting to try tumblr. its been ages since I used that but I vaguely remember being able to format image uploads as a gallery

7:40 am

@[{Adel}] @Drakmanka eheh thank you both ^.=.^

Absolutely amazing. The style combined with the painting itself definitely invokes feelings of home or homesickness! Thank you for uploading these, you're a great artist.

i'd love to practice this kind of artstyle, scratchy yet smooth like with watercolour or something similar (edited)

ooh I like it

Extremely work in progress (also yes I know how I sketch is an absolute mess of color, it makes it easier for me to keep track of stuff) but I'm finally bringing my dragon more in line with my actual feelings/preferences and here it is with everything but the wings (I'm really struggling with trying to figure out these

1

I love what you've got so far!

Thank you so much

using different colours is a good technique! I did a lot of that when I was first learning to draw. its looking real good! (edited)

Thanks

The wings are really messed up but they were really kicking my ass, but I got the lines done It was my first time drawing them but damn

1

And done, the way the horns and wings are are really weird but I could not for the life of me figure out putting the wings behind the horns

2

It's very good though! I think every artist ever has experienced that struggle of making something work the way it looks in your head. Nice job! drgnthumb

adorable!

Thanks, both of you

oh that's turned out great

8:28 pm

you've got nice colours

Thanks

to reiterate, i did not draw this, i just like it and wanted to share

That is very beautiful :>

oooh that's super cool

So I made a thing. This is kind of based off some images that have popped into my head here and there when I get shifty, of what I might look like as an anthropomorphic dragon, although minus the wings here. I might make this into a D&D character as well. Credit to CindyAvelino on DeviantART for the incredible customizeable base!

hope it's okay to do a quick self promotion here. I just made a new tumblr account in hopes to start having a place i can consistently put my dragony art up on, and also interact with more dragonfolk through. Not much on it yet but in the coming few days i'll start sifting through my stuff and getting more of my art up. https://www.tumblr.com/emberstrove

Ember's Art Zone

Hi! My name is Ember (it/its) and I'm trying out Tumblr to see if it'll work well as a place to host my art. I'm also hoping to connect to folks in the dragonkin community. Expect lots of dragony and koboldy things.

might add those sort of stuff to my commission sheet for 5 dollars or something they are quick and fun to do

Those look amazing!

My grandmother showed me example of her sister's cross-stitch embroidery. And it looked a lot like pixel art ✨ dragnhappy

Cross-stitch embroidery is the original pixel art lol

That’s no dragon-sized burger! drgnflareeyes

But still pretty!
