Just Finished Drawing Raijin, The Menagerie’s Official Speaker Of The Rajani, Riding Atop His Quilen,

I drew my guildy Zulah'thek and his "little" brother, Shawk!

With Zandalari having officially joined the Horde two years ago, we are celebrating our third Atal’Zandali Dinosaur Parade on Wyrmrest Accord, March 13th, 2021 with opening ceremonies beginning at 5:00 PM (PST) server time! (War Mode: Off) The parade itself begins at 6 PM and will wrap up with the closing cermonies at 8PM, let us all make this year another epic reminder of the majesty of Zandalar!

Decided to draw my little Tortollan OC Yoki, & a gekkota for her to be pointing at, as well as a sleeping diemetradon! I needed more characters to be facing away from the camera & I figure no one will complain if it's my own OCs. Yoki was around 8 years old when I created her & she just loves creepy crawlies!

This is art I did of my friend's character because I needed a passenger on my Mighty Caravan Brutosaur, but then I also realized it makes a decent individual piece as well!

Definitely coming to this, hope to see lots of you there too! ^^

🥥 Caribbean Music: Jamaica 

Jamaican folk music called Mento emerged in the 1940s and 1950s. Mento strongly influenced the birth of Ska and Rocksteady in Jamaican during the the late 50s into the 60s respectively. The two genres developed into Reggae during the late 60s and became known for its limitless flexibility. In 1965, Bob Marley and the Wailers released their debut studio album The Wailing Wailers. The album contained the single “One Love/People Get Ready”, the song was popular worldwide and established the group as a rising figure in Reggae. In 1968, the following records were released and considered legends in Reggae: “Nanny Goat” by Larry Marshall, “Do the Reggay” by Toots and the Maytals, “No More Heartaches” by The Beltones.

In the 1970s, Dancehall was born and became a more sparse version of Reggae than the roots style which dominated the Jamaican music scene. In the mid-1980s, digital instrumentation became more prevalent, changing the sound considerably, with digital Dancehall becoming increasingly characterized by faster rhythms. Key elements of Dancehall music include its extensive use of Jamaican Patois rather than Jamaican standard English and a focus on the track instrumentals or “riddims”. The popularity of Dancehall has spawned dance moves that made stage performances more energetic. Many dance moves seen in Hip Hop videos are actually variations of Dancehall dances.

This piece is still a work in progress, but I'd like to share just how far it's come. honestly just a few more additions here and there will really make this feel like the minimum in terms of how full of characters I'd like this piece to be.

Just finished my tenth commission! This is my good friend Ejan being strangled by the trash loa! :D

A boy named Skylar

You ever think about someone you'll probably never meet again?

A few days ago I couldn't stop thinking about an old friend I met back in 2010. He was a boy named Skylar, we met on Gaia Online and he used a female avatar and presented as a boy. At this time I knew nothing about being transgender and transitioning, so to me he was a girl who was crossdressing and insisting he was a boy... Everything in my life up to that point had lead me to believe that was how things worked, so even though I had a female avatar and I presented feminine, I insisted that I was a boy too, since I didn't know better.

I remember his favorite dinosaur was a pterodactyl, and I remember showing him Quetzalcoatlus and Hatzegopteryx, the largest pterosaurs. I remember that he was a big fan of Tegan and Sara, and the song 'Back In Your Head' to this day still makes me think of him. I remember him showing me a drawing of one of them and me asking if that was him, and him saying "I wish!"

I remember feeling embarrassed when the topic of what I don't like about my body came up. I admitted to him that I had body hair and I felt so ashamed and embarrassed and uncomfortable with that fact, and he just laughed, not because of my agony but because it was such an innocent thing to be embarrassed by. Of course I had body hair, I was going through male puberty.

I remember we talked a lot over AOL and MSN, he explained being trans to me and that I could change my body through Hormone Replacement Therapy and suddenly everything just clicked. My bleak outlook on life changed to having a glimmer of hope, and from then on I was a girl, even if I didn't tell anyone and guarded it as my deepest darkest secret.

I remember him calling me cute whenever I'd roleplay giving him kisses and I remember developing a crush on him, and him rejecting me because I wasn't his type since he was gay and only attracted to men. I remember feeling sad and confused while also feeling validated because when I offered to be a boy for him, he told me no because he knew me better than to ever expect that.

I remember him helping me to pick a name, I ended up deciding on Sophie, and he suggested it be Sophia and I just go by Sophie. I was Sophie for years and years up until I finally actually went through with making the appointment to start HRT. Between then and when I finally decided I wanted to be Monica, I was Sophie online and my deadname in person.

I've lost all contact with him... I don't even remember what his username was or where I could look to find him. I'll probably never speak to him again, but he changed my life and I'm super grateful that I met him. I think about him a lot every once in a while and I really miss him. I can't help wondering how he's doing, I wish so badly I could see him again and show him how far I've come.

I'll probably never see him again, but I'll never forget him.

Did a kind of experiment warping Ima’kuni’s face between more muzzle and less muzzle, just cause I felt like it. The one on the left is my idea of how she might look with an ordinary mogu face structure,  the one in the middle is the one I actually drew, and the one on the right best represents what she was going for with her character’s design. I asked what she thought of this idea and she was intrigued, so I went ahead and messed around with it a bunch. ^^
