(click for higher quality!) draconified link concept ive been chipping away at this past week ..... here's my funny little compendium concept for him:

"A heroic spirit has taken the form of this bestial dragon. Unlike it's kin, this creature exhibits an extremely aggressive disposition. It appears highly territorial, and will relentlessly chase down those who disturb its skywide patrols - of which it seems to be endlessly searching for either a long-time vassal or foe. Unfortunately, it seems the spirit within has long since forgotten exactly who it was looking for…"

#now. how on earth do i begin to tag this. um.#link #loz #totk #totk spoilers #light dragon #dragon link #loz au #totk roleswap au #there . i'll add more if they come to me LOL #um i can talk about some of my insps i guess?? might make another post too #so mostly i just dont really like turning him into 'light dragon but male' and giving him slightly darker colours or something like that #this also obviously isnt exactly like the botw dragons either though and its a bit more of a mix of other creature concepts i enjoy #since everyone agrees he'd have a farosh horn i wanted to make him a kirin/unicorn :) which is why his tail looks like that #aside from the obvious eastern dragon insps and what ive picked and chosen from the botw dragons #and obviously this looks a lot like wolf link. thats on purpose #i wanted to give him some fierce deity design refs too but because this is so dark/earthy they didnt look very fitting #but honestly you could do a whole fierce deity dragon design on its own i think #okay lots of tags but IVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS FOR A WHILE. okay. let me have this.#my art

ok these are ALSO a slay, i think i did upload these back in 2019 and then deleted them after i like... fell out with scooby doo 😅 and i was trying to scrub my AU from my blog. if i remember right these were for a back-to-original-era AU so very much like late 1960s/early 1970s fashion. i particularly like velma's looks. i really think i'm like, right about how their expanded wardrobes should look...

#fred jones #daphne blake #shaggy rogers #velma dinkley #scooby doo #draws #i think each 1st drawn version was meant to be like. my take on their 'canon' look and then some expansions #but for shaggy i can see that monkees top n jeans is meant to be a ref to his red/blue colour scheme from the 80s

[ID: a digital redraw of the scene where chuuya shoots dazai in the shoulder. on the top of the drawing is chuuya holding a guy to dazai's head in the red and grey hallways of the prison. on the bottom of the drawing is dazai's pained face. the gunshot is shown stylistically as hectic lines behind his bloody shoulder. over the image is half a quote from goncharov that reads 'if we really were in love you wouldn't have missed.' the signature says dandelion-roots. end ID]

This quote from Goncharov (1973) in relation to soukoku has been haunting me from before I even got to that scene in the anime (the full thing is: Katya- Of course we're in love, that's why I tried to shoot you/ Goncharov- If we really were in love you wouldn't have missed). Violence as a tool for communicating emotions, especially love and hatred, especially love and hatred makes me go feral- how could I not think of the iconic quote that says that katya's miss was a sign of a lack of love/a fake love when chuuya didn't miss? Just... losing it over here.

#bsd #bsd s5 #bungou stray dogs #soukoku #soukoku fanart #bungou stray dogs season 5 #bsd spoilers #dazai osamu #chuuya nakahara #not to tell on myself but i just realized that i. used the wrong screenshot as ref JKDSKDJKDJ i have too many saved. its fine. u get it #just saying it in case anyone was confused #goncharov #also just to be clear if someone didnt understand the caption- i used the quote to be the opposite of what was happening #not to describe what was happening in the scene or to imply that chuuya later not killing dazai was him 'missing'#i get VERY specific imagery in my mind and i disregard everything else #and i do it in the way that would be incredibly confusing to most ppl at first glance. such is the world #im not wordy rn i cant fully describe my feral state after finishing bsd earlier today or this thing. hope u enjoy it anyway!#it was rly fun to do a screenshot redraw the bsd animation crew is so freaking talented and i got to see which colours they used where #i changed them bcs they wouldnt been too desaturated but lots of blues in the bg! colour theory babyyy #and got to play around w csp! fun fun been so long since ive done digital art

#while he waits for Hawke to come home in da:i 😭#that shawl around his shoulders? HAWKE'S (it smells like them <3)#I imagine that they have a home by the sea #people don't look too closely cause I hate how I coloured this ajaishdkajlc it's so messy #if I had a nickel for every time I drew a man w/ a mug by a window i would have two nickels (see: johnny fanart from june)#experimented with the lighting for this one! I used daniel f. gerhartz' The Garden Window as a ref :)#dragon age #dragon age 2 #da2 #da fanart #fenhawke #fenris #hard in hightown #digital art #my art

Wisptober Day 12 : Howl

"Howling that sounds like a chill down your spine, white like ghosts, he and his wolves were nightmares for lost hunters."

Today was "Thaw" but I got mixed up.;u;

And I suddenly realised that it remind me of Princess Mononoke....

#I mean not a bad thing to ref!#I didnt paint much this year because LIFE #and you can tell I am struggling with colour palettes this year #still happy with it #;u;#wolf #wolves #white wolf #carnyx #illustration #wisptober #wisptober 2022 #my art #nature

I'm so sorry Tachihara for ruining your epic reveal moment but as soon as Jouno put the cape on you and it started to swish in the non-existent wind I knew what I had to do
