Now that the video is out, I can properly share the new pictures I made of Paragon.

Paragon's human form. A knight with fiery red and ruby red armor.

Paragon's dragon form. A red and silver dragon with butterfly-esc wings.

Her updated bio. Still showcases some of her abilities, including crystal creation.

Her updated ref sheet. Now features the front of her shield. This and her sword can change into the book and pen.

Haven't uploaded any art in a while, so let's do that. These are four of many versions of my dragonsona. I started it in February and finished it last month. Details are in the alt text.

To the right are sonas I made in Spore. While to the left are ones that debuted on DeviantArt.

The 2011 version is a Cynder clone, but with Spyro's tail spike and brown hair. Here it's a bit smaller, since it had a Skylanders counterpart at one point. It's the older sona I made that is red. But I've made other sonas that are older and... copied or stolen from other Spore creators. ^_^'

The 2013 version has more spikes, added stripes, and flaming limbs. I thought the fire limbs would make me stand out among my peers. And it did! Even though it wasn't logical back then. It was the most consistent version until 2017. Right around when I lost access to Spore for a bit.

The 2023 version is a newer Spyro styled dragon. Much simpler, it has the red and black switch positions. And there's pink in there too! This version is one of two I designed that year, with the main one being used for my Etherrealm stuff.

That sona is now much more human-like and sits in the middle of the picture! I had adjusted how the wings sat when folded up. I practiced drawing them in February and I'm quite happy with how they turned out!

Happy Holidays from the Etherrealm! 🎄🎁

I've got something cooking in the back. But I'm taking time off to be with my family. You should spend time with your folks too! Cause it's important to be there!

Did a ten pack opening of Eevee Grove just now. Not as impressive as my first one, but still great!

Pack 8 out of 10 in my opening. It consists of three shinies, one I had gotten already. And two alt art cards.

Finally, here is Erblin's Water starter. The Bubblet line!
They are based on sea snakes and the myth of Storsjöodjuret. (Or Storsie.)

"Bubblet are shy by nature, hiding behind objects when faced with supposed threats. However, they enjoy swimming in open ponds, shaking their tails out of pure joy."

Dex Entry:
"Seapent quietly swims about, diving underwater to avoid confrontation. It possesses a kind of venom that paralyzes its target once bit. This effect is not lethal and only lasts for a few seconds."

"Its stripes and horns glow with electricity, allowing it to navigate the deepest oceans. Trainers who own one say it is loyal as it is vicious. There's an old folk tale of two Klobold who angered an Abysstrom so much, it caused a violent storm."

Now let's meet the Fire starter of Erblin! This is the Foalite line.
They are based on horses and knights.

"Foalite are playful and have high energy. They'll often challenge one another to races, which has lead them into trouble. Their hooves can light aflame, leaving scorch marks as they run."

"It is eager, but easy to agitate, prompting it to start fights with other Pokemon. Despite this, it wishes to become strong enough to protect others and will follow its evolved form's example."

"This Pokemon's horn heats up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit, leaving severe burns upon impact. However, it only does this to persistent foes, protecting the innocent with its just nature. They will teach young Broncoal how to effectively use their horns."

Here is the Grass starter for the Erblin region. The Kiddoak line!
They are based on goats, mountain climbing, and alpine culture.

"Kiddoak are incredibly curious, wandering into places that peak their interest. While clumsy, they love climbing on top of small objects and even their Trainers."

"Though this Pokemon aims to reach greater heights, it's rather mischievous and carefree. They've been known to kick branches and rocks around with no concern over potential harm."

"Ibexalt is incredibly nimble, moving across rough surfaces with little effort. It stores food and resources in the bush on its back. And it'll let smaller Pokemon rest inside, keeping them warm while in freezing temperatures."
