So pretty!!!
Hello! I crawl out of the abyss to share some artwork i did for my graphic design class :> cheers lads
So I just made this art for one of my friends on yt, and I just kinda felt like showing it here cuz I haven't posted in a while :b
My Oc Norcane as a dragon! I was gonna draw my other Ocβs as dragons too, but this one was so difficult I might hold off for now.
Mad respect to anyone who draws dragons regularly!
"The Vampiric Bloodletter"
"Out of all the dragons I've seen and studied, along with the one's I've only heard of in passing conversation, the Bloodletter wasn't one I thought truly existed. Tales of a bright red dragon with ten eyes that drank blood...? Seemed too much like an old story to scare children but it seems this nesting year at the colony has proven me wrong.
I noticed the new egg amongst a clutch of Monstrous Nightmare eggs, an odd oblong shape with a dark red shell amongst the pale orange-pink eggs certainly stood out. Moving the egg wasn't an option so I left it. Come hatching day I kept a close eye on the nest, only to find an entirely unique dragon to hatch with the Monstrous' brood. At first I figured it was a case of hybridism but that theory was dropped quickly, after all just one hybrid offspring in a nest of six didn't make sense. Not to mention the tiny-tooth's features, ten eyes that all were a dark black, unique extra digits that I assume are opposable to a degree and a notable blade on the end of it's tail.
So I can conclude that the Bloodletter is in fact a living and breathing dragon species, a colony or nest parasite from what I can tell but also it's behavior is still unique. From what I have observed the nestling has been acting like a Monstrous Nightmare, mimicking their vocal calls and behaviors which is fascinating. For now I see no need to try and relocate the dragon, nor do I think it's surrogate mother would allow me and I personally would like to keep my good record with her.
This will at least give me time to study it and hopefully pull together some proper information, since I fear the number of these dragons may only be in single digits... I've also noted while looking through some other old local legends that the Bloodletter shares some shocking resemblance to the few descriptions of the Lycanwing... I can't help but wonder if they're connected somehow, but that's research for another time." - Excerpt from "The Nature of Dragons", an extensive series of books and journals by a man named Salamander.

Class: Mystery
Size: 6 to 7 feet tall, with a wingspan of 10-11 feet at Broadwing stage - Titanwings are roughly 12 to 14 feet tall with a 20-22 foot wingspan.
Preferred Food: Dragon blood or incredibly fresh meat along with specifically certain organs of most creatures.
Status: Critical - Maybe only a handful of individuals exist on the surface world, that or they are just really good at staying away from people.
The Vampiric Bloodletter is noted for it's vibrant colors and unique features that assist with defending itself and securing it's specialized diet, due to the low amount of sightings and encounters little is truly known about them by humans. They are parasites in truth, spending a lot of time in flocks or colonies with other species so they can feed easily and also mimicking the dragons around them in terms of mannerisms for survival.
Their numerous eyes negates any blindspot they would normally have, along with this a forked tongue and heat sensing pits along their upper lips makes for the perfect tracking equipment. They have opposable digits on all their limbs that are topped with claws that are much like switchblades, used for further opening the bites they leave on other dragons or for defense - same to be said about the blade on their tail.
It's vibrant coloration is a classic animal warning system of "I'm toxic, stay away!". Seeing as they possess a highly potent venom which actually changes throughout their lives.
Tiny-Tooth to Shortwing: They can use this venom as a projectile to blind much like spitting cobras and generally deter threats to them. It's noted that it also stings if it makes contact with human skin. It has mild anticoagulant properties when administered via a bite along with slight numbing, think vampire bats.
Broadwing: The venom glands develop fully, producing a highly anticoagulant hemotoxin that causes numbing and disorientation even causing dragons to become incredibly drowsy. In humans it causes severe hallucinations, supposedly making one think that they're turning into a dragon.
Titanwing: Not much changes aside from more potency and the ability to even render some dragons unconscious for a certain amount of time after being bitten. Though at this stage they can afflict humans with something much worse, it's unknown how exactly it works but if a human is bitten by a Titanwing Bloodletter there is a chance they will be afflicted with the curse that is becoming a Lycanwing - if they survive the initial bite and the first shift that is...

WOO! Done at last!!
The Vampiric Bloodletter is one of my very few fanmade httyd species and I love how they came out!! Also if you couldn't tell these guys are my explanation for the Lycanwing legend, basically these guys are the ones that turn people to Lycanwings and somewhat go off of the description of the one in the story told by Gobber in RTTE. I have some more notes on them so uh if anyone has questions I will gladly elaborate on my fellas!
Also I will say: Anyone is free to make one of these fellas just please credit me! The lineart of the image is under the cut and can be used as a base.

Scene of Lui and his fury bud having convo over serious issues. Toothy needs a proper profile from me as well as the other fury Scar, although I didn't want to really post about the nightfuries in my character world as they're just little side events that appear here and there. Idk. whatever.
It literally took me one month to get this done. But mainly because I got interrupted with commissions and some other private things. Well, nice to see this finished up finally... Pretty happy with how this turned out!

I've got some pride art piece to show you c: of my characters..
Experimental piece of Lui's golden form!

Finished up this scene of some OCs of mine! I just love drawing stuff like that! Felt like making something with Annicka in it, as I just recently finished illustrating her for the first time. So here's something more detailed involving her.
I'll make a fun little character profile for her soon! Neocities is down right now and I want to update a few other things as well when I'm able to again. Well... for now enjoy this artwork.
Here's the sketch too, I liked how this looked.
Niche's Galactic Inferno appearance! I wanted to illustrate that for a while now. So here she is! Glow, stars and space.
Not too sure how to implement that into her character profile yet. Im not really interested in making a forms tab for her forms.. because none of these are her true-form. She just appears as "something". Hard to write and explain OCs who are literally..eh universe mothers lmao.
Creepy furred dragon commission

Illustrated my OC Annicka for the first time. Becky's little sister.

Split icon of Lui showing his forms. I wasn't planning to make one of him because eh- so many forms but I still ended up drawing it. Really happy with the outcome as well.
Find more split icons here
An area in my characters world I quite like, but never drew before. Figured it would be a nice opportunity to practice perspective too!
Got around to illustrate my character Spike for the first time. I actually didn't imagine him with this white light/glow parts but as I was drawing I figured it's a nice addition and gives him some variation.
I donΒ΄t participate in this kind of stuff that much but this looked fun!
Turned Lui into different species. This was especially challenging because he is human. And I wanted to give the different species some variety and pattern, rather than just his skin color. I especially like how the aquatic version turned out. π
Here is the empty template if you want to try this challenge as well.

These dragons enjoy a misty home
Ones of these don't go with the other two
Water dragons love rivers and creeks
The elegant dragons gotta stick together
Tried to design a character but ended up getting frustrated and drawing a dragon
Dragon :) (first boss monster in dnd campaign) (the dragon is made of blizzard yes)
Posted it before I try to paint, in case I ruin it.
I donβt really like this one...
