old art dump (Patreon)

I thought I'd share some stuff from the olden days.

if these choose to post in order....that would be great xD

1. Allena/Allistair the inspiration for Ezrael, a pureblood rift drake whos egg incubated incorrectly (hence her tiny horns) she was a singer pre-war in a band. She also actively crossdressed and lived mostly as a male, even her band members thought she was a dude.(art by an old friend on FA)

2. a rift drake I apparently (judging by the file name) dreamed up sometime in 2010.(art by me)

3. one of emain's native sea species, a greater crested aquaelion. (art by me, 2011)

4. Allena/Allistair showing the telltale "ezrael" clownfish spot pattern ive had for such a long time.(2011)

5.more of Allena

6. eiko, a female aquatic/coastal rift drake.

7. piece commissioned of auril and allena (my rift drakes) art by centradragon. it was a world-building piece.

8. random pinup of eiko I painted in 2016, I finally decided on rift drake proportions here. art is my own

9. 2017, introduction to aestharii. this one was mine named eclipse. they are a species of Io, a moon of emain. art is my own

10. 2019 and current proportions of Fern, my mistavian dragon and last of his species before the fall of Emain. he is an ancestor to many abyss drakes. mistavians were the only "true dragons" of their planet, and a nomadic species of highly intelligent, sentient life forms. art is my own

hopefully you enjoyed this, I have a ref sheet redux of an old rift drake character so i thought it would be fun/helpful to remind myself how they look (and how far they've come.) all good designs change as they age and become more solidified, it's a mark of good creators to succeed at evolving a design.
