Artsy Dragon

@artsy-dragon

Wow… from what I know of you so far, it seems that we are kindred spirits. Whovians, dragon-lovers, veggie-tale-veterans, old souls, artists,  writers, Christians, The Princess Bride lovers, Narnia lovers… I could go on.

Meatlug is adorable! Valka’s dragon (is it Cloudhopper?) is also pretty cool, but rather large.

Are you home…[Read more]

@artsy-dragon

Oh I know the feeling, I created this topic XD

@artsy-dragon

Hello there!  E. M. Trepke, at your service. (I guess you could call me Em) *bows dramatically* Welcome to the Kingdom of Pen.
I am a Christian Homeschooler who has an old soul in a young body. Old stuff just has so much character. I am also a VeggieTales veteran (much to my grandmother’s dismay), and happen to love dragons with a…[Read more]

@artsy-dragon yes!! One of my favorite things about designing mythical creatures is getting all sciencey with them XD
Like, designing them in a way that makes sense for their environment. I actually had a field-guide of mythical creatures I started drawing when I was 11, I could show you some time! It would be fun to redo it now that my art is…[Read more]

@artsy-dragon @thearcaneaxiom DRAGON BIOLOGY YESSSSSS.

I do the same thing! I came up with an explanation for how my ice dragons breathe ice: Humans and other creatures often exhale water vapor. In a CloneWing’s throat is a gland which secretes a substance that reacts with the water vapor in his breath. It supercools it, and when the dragon…[Read more]

@artsy-dragon

Yeah! There is more than one mechanical structure for “fire breath” that I’ve heard. Most use methane for the main material to burn instead of waste. There’s often still an issue of ignition though, one that fixed that though is through quartz crystal that when the right type of pressure is applied, it creates sparks. Eating rocks…[Read more]

“they give me the freedom to do whatever I want with them and not mess up.”

Lol, yes, very Bob Ross-ian, with mythical creatures, there are no mistakes, only happy accidents! I was obsessed with with drawing dragons when I was young, and they still now have a dear place in my heart, and I go back and create new types of dragons…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom I love dragons too. Although my dragon types usually look half-human (I’ve posted several drawings a couple pages back)

@artsy-dragon Yes, I write dragon biology too! It’s so fun, isn’t it? Like the different kinds, and how this type is related to this type, or which kinds can hybridize safely (and which ones actually come out…[Read more]

@artsy-dragon Thanks, if you were talking to me. I have a feeling you are, but just making sure.

@artsy-dragon

Yeah! That’s a great worldbuilding tip he gave! It’s really cool to be able to create a world completely different from our own, but when we ground it in a few subtle realisms, it feels far more tangible, consistent, real, even if those realisms are exaugurated. It can really add a whole other layer of depth to your world when you…[Read more]

@artsy-dragon

Sure! Glad I could be of help! 🙂

@artsy-dragon MEEGHAN!!! HIIIII!!! Sorry I rarely get time to answer people on here and I didn’t see this until now, argh 🤦‍♀️Funny story, I actually realized you were on here when I was checking the art forum; I saw some of your dragons and recognized the style right away hehe (they look so good, I LOVE the one with antlers!!) Welcome to KP…[Read more]

@artsy-dragon

Thanks!

“How dare you not tell me how it ends lol.”

*gives a malevolent laugh

Yeah, I hope I able to get that effect with my writing. I think I have good pros, but I’m still figuring out how to really write my characters.

That’s really cool! Do you get into the actual biology of them much, or is it just the different…[Read more]

@artsy-dragon

Ooooo I really like how you do your coloring.

@artsy-dragon

I like it! You have a really cute art style and the flowers she’s holding look really cool

@artsy-dragon

Awesome, well in that case, I’ll give the summery.

It is set in the end of the first era in my septrum. It’s about a character, Tailen who is attacked by four dimensional beasts. They throw him back into three dimensional space, and turned out to be one of the very few that actually survived such a encounter. However, he suffers a…[Read more]

@artsy-dragon

Oh ok! Idk exactly what you mean, it might help if you attach a scene you wrote you need some help with.

You can have dialogue in an action scene, and vice versa. Here’s a bit of how I do it. Keep in mind I write in 3rd person present tense, but this applies to any perspective or tense. I’m just going to use some random dialogue…[Read more]

@artsy-dragon

Looks great!

I had a skin with super long hair I used to love, but I like lost that account or something and now I’m just Alex XD

@artsy-dragon

She looks awesome!

Thanks btw. I’m glad I was able to catch feeling in it for you! I’m always open to telling you about some of the story if your interested:)

@artsy-dragon

Oh cool! She looks good!
