Day 9, ”ocean”. Snow waiting by the ocean - the sea pulls her to it as much as it frightens her. #dragons

Day 7, ”Gemstone”. Apple!! Sorrel’s & Ophelia’s daughter in their timeline. Gold/Opal hybrid, I don’t have time to colour these but wanted to at least roughly illustrate the sort of colouration I have in mind for her, a sort of opal kintsugi… #dragons

Day 6, "ancient". The line of thinking here was a truly ancient dragon that has simply refused to die, essentially kept alive by duct tape and spite - or magic, as the case may be. It has definitely seen better days but it happy and content, despite its... appearance #dragons

Day 5: ”fruit”. Baby Sorrel has acquired an apple - his favourite snack - but didn’t fully think through how to best eat it #dragons

Day 4! ”Bread” - had to be Tiichi, probably contemplating why there’s no bread large enough for him to enjoy proper in his true form

Day 3, prompt ”spring”. A dragon inspired by the blooming catkins of willow/sallow trees, a certain sign of spring where I live! #dragons

My two gold dragon (half) siblings in a timeline/AU where they're close enough in age to have grown up together

Big sister Ruby and little brother Sorrel, from young (before Sorrel had learned to shapeshift) to both as adults

A cropped illustration of Dammon from Baldur's Gate 3, fully colored and rendered. He is seen from an angle, turning his head to look worriedly over one shoulder. He appears to be wearing a dark cape with a hood, and a building of some kind is behind him in the distance.

I didn't manage anything for #Smaugust, sadly. But here's a page of sketches of a green peafowl-inspired dragon from 2021.

Three pencil studies of a dragon inspired by green peafowl. It has feathered wings, a reptilian tail, a graceful neck, and a fowl-like head with a pair of antlers.

I drew Tintaglia and I kinda got an itch to draw another RotE dragon.
No spoilers again! Here's Icefyre. Again, go read Realm of the Elderlings by Robin Hobb! 🖤

Quick digital drawing of a black dragon with golden hues. He looks ancient, ragged and not entirely pleasant.
