Living in the Blood…

You may remember him from this post showcasing close-up shots of the linework details. I finally got myself an Epson flatbed scanner few months ago and finished him up to hone in my coloring skills when working in this particular style of mine. And I even found my old seal script design to play around with and see how it looks alongside my traditionally inked artwork.

I went through some emotional ups and downs while working on this, almost trashing it completely before the final touches. Not spending enough time making personal art can do that to an old creature like me, and I’m generally very critical of my own work. But I’ve since gotten plenty of distance from this piece to better appreciate it and share it. ♥

Hey there. I’ve been focused on some personal projects lately that I want to get off the ground. I recently worked up the nerve made a blog for one of them. I’m not quite comfortable with connecting my primary alias with it just yet due to its NSFW nature, but I’d like to trickle in some people a little at a time.

If you dig human/dragon relationships, you can poke me for a link and I might pass it onto you if you’ve been a regular in my notes.

Some concept sketches for a story project revolving around anthro dragons. Same story as the one teased here.

I’m trying to feature out the art direction I want to take with the dragon characters in the story since I tend to swing between designing them as sleek and stylized (cartoony, I guess?) or overly-detailed bordering on realism. I’d like to strike a balance between the two.

These fellas aren’t of any particular characters in the story, but more of tiny sample of what the general population of dragons look like overall.

My drawings have been feeling rather sloppy, at least in my eyes. Mental illness and getting sidetracked in the past really slowed down my development. I’m trying to make up for the lost time by “derusting” and squeeze in as much personal art as I can manage per day. But that’s also going against the easy-going approach that I’m aiming to take with my art.

I also have a lot deep-seeded resistance in regards to sharing my characters and story concepts publicly, hence the lack of anything substantial for me to talk about… outside of media made by other people.

Nothing I can do but continue to push through that resistance.

Hey there.

I haven’t posted anything here since October of last year. Kinda disappeared for a time, doubled-down on my usual lurking behavior, and went into hermit mode for mental health reasons.
I can’t say for sure that I’m in a better place now than I was last year, but I’ve been trying to make some strides in knowing myself and find inner peace.

I want to connect with other people again, in whatever way I’m able to manage with my circumstances. I’m haunted by profound loneliness, partly due to me being pretty solitary by nature. And I’m figuring that posting more earnestly about my experiences here could be a step in the right direction.

I’m tired of maintaining a facade of professionalism on a place like Tumblr anyway. Every other platform can be pristine and tidy, but I’d rather my blog here be a more messy and honest reflection of who I am.

I don’t just want to post the occasional sketch + mental illness vent. I have things that I do love and thoroughly enjoy, and want to be comfortable sharing with other people again. I miss talking about movies, shows, video games, and whatever else weird and interesting shit with someone for hours on end.

I’m going to make the effort to be more active here. I’ll also be cleaning up my blog a bit, reposting/reblogging some old art of mine, since I’ve gone back to taking my art seriously again.

But less of the anxiety-ridden drive I used to have and more towards a healthier, cathartic, and more enjoyable direction.

Back in early August, I went thrift shopping with my sister and her boyfriend. Enjoy these interesting finds!

I took home the ceramic black vase with the ornate gold flora patterns (the first vase photo). I got into floral arrangement as a hobby this year, which has been really nice for my mental health, and I wanted to collect a variety of vases and bottles to put my flowers in.

I regret skipping out on the lovely peacock vase (shameful, since peacocks are among my favorite birds), just because I didn’t want to carry too much stuff around. I’ll definitely grab it next time if it’s still there.

I would’ve also purchased the boar figurine if it weren’t for the fact that he was so heavy. He really sparks my love for big, burly beasts. Perhaps someday I can bring him home…

Three tiger dragons from an old sketchbook back in 2019. Said sketchbook was never finished (unsurprisingly), partly in due to the paper quality not being ideal for me, but is now being used as a place to practice human and animal anatomy.

I have drawn better dragons since then, with some art yet to be posted, which have been trapped in limbo simply because I keep putting off finishing up the piece and/or flattening the layered files if digital. I find it interesting how much I lean into tiger motifs far more than I realize, and that I ought to use them more intentionally in my art.
