june to august sketches
🕑 Added 2024-08-15 14:04:53 +0000 UTCone billion oc sketches upon ye...! much to explain here so I will ramble a bit:
first are some drawings of ćiro and briar, who I'm pretty sure I've mentioned are cousins, but act more like siblings. ćiro is actually a few years older than briar but because he's a dragon he doesn't age like humans do and he gets quite big quite fast (and ćiro is very envious of this)
the next two are me messing around with the idea of ćiro having an enchanted dragon mask based on basically her dragon persona that she roleplays as with briar... she might be able to take on that dragon form, but only in dreams, where she will inevitably cause problems. I'm settled on the design yet but I do think the wings are cool...
then there's two new characters I made at the end of june/start of july, who are briar's younger sisters! there's aeronwy (the seal) and hesper (the dolphin/bird/finfin creature) and they are both also dragons which seem to have a lot of variety in this world haha. don't worry about why they look so different <3 aery is actually based on what her human dad would look like as a dragon and hess... was originally going to be more of a wyrm like briar but we were briefly obsessed with finfin as a group and watched the lugia movie again, so that's why she looks like that.
aery is very feminine, self-assured, and unshakably positive- she has an almost unnerving attitude of calm contentment. hess is the opposite as a tomboy who puts up a standoffish front to mask how sensitive and insecure she is. she also loves to play football with her big bird feet.
(the drawing of aery with the fish in her mouth is based on this video)
the second to last are some drawings of them with their daddies, their human forms, and the siblings as tiny babies. the very last are some character concepts for another dragon in this world that I probably won't end up using but might save to be recycled for something else!

another finfin enjoyer spotted 🫵 .... thank you so much though clem omg, I've been wanting my sketches to look like concept work but they usually just look like messy doodles to me so that means a lot!! ❤️ maybe one day I'll finally pick up animating for real and move them around..

thank you so much remmy!! ❤️ I'm so glad you like reading about them!! and I'm glad you still like my old seal sona too, I've been redesigning some of my old sonas as characters/weird little creatures so you reminded me to try doodling them sometime!

AAAH ronnie I am so happy to see you draw seal inspired characters again. I was always such a huge fan of that sona you used to have that was lion/seal combo. The tiny baby drawings are also killing me they are so adorable. Also ciros enchanted dragon mask with the wings is SO cool, love reading all the cool ideas you have for her along with your other ocs!!!!
