The sun was spooky today

Who were your inspirations for your art?

(Mine are legend of Korra, Bluebiscuts, and you)

<3

Back before the dawn of the internet, most of my inspirations growing up came from movies, games, and books like:

Disney (Lion King and Bambi especially), Ghibli, Calvin and Hobbes, Pokemon, Digimon, The Last Unicorn, Dragonheart, The Dragonriders of Pern covers, NC Wyeth, Sailor Moon, Final Fantasy etc. off the top of my head.

I learned how to first color digitally from NeonDragonArt's tutorials on their old website.

hey, i love your profile picture!! did you draw it yourself? :O

I did! It's a little coffee dragon I drew forever ago.

This is genuinely the most fun Ive ever had interacting with people on tumblr. Once staff takes the boops away can we all please continue to just like. Interact? Send asks and messages and comment and tag and PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU ALL

Back in my day boops were called pokes

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

BlueSky has opened up for everyone, no invite needed anymore!

You can find me there @ https://bsky.app/profile/pencilcat.bsky.social

I’m really happy that I found your blog and started following you. I get updates for wings of fire and see your awesome art? Double win in my book. Thank you for bringing colour to a world I had long forgotten about.

Do you have a rough timeline on when the next book will release? I’m vibrating with excitement bc my hyper-fixation from when I was a wee little child has come back to slap me in the face 😅

Thank you!!

I don't know exactly when the next book is scheduled (not my department), but we're on a yearly schedule so likely Dec-Jan next year like the previous books.

(I'm working on Book 8 right now 😉)

Doing some warm up painting/drawing before work. Join me!

I painted something! For fun!

Finished up this old WIP I had sitting around.
