So... in my defense, I did have backups. I had solutions in place for a two-way tie, and when it started looking towards the end of the week that a three-way tie is possible, I forged some plans how to resolve that as well, but that said...
This is not what I expected.

As the last poll was exclusively fanart pieces, it's only fair to give some space to my beloved brainspawn to balance things out. And since February is known for its love-related proclivities, this poll will feature several pairs to pick from!

I've recently had two streaming sessions, one for poll results, the other for official ANet obligations, and they both yielded some interesting results to munch through.
First was the poll stream, which was tied on Patreon, but Hraesvelgr accumulated a landslide victory through Discord votes.

Tis the year of the dragon (or it soon will be), and as I said earlier, I am itching to introduce some more dragons in(to) my life. So when I thought of the topic for this year's first patron poll, I gathered all the dragons I ever wanted to do fanart for and thought to let you give them a spin.

It has been a heck of a long time since I did any pencilwork (before the pandemic) and I am rusty as hell.

One of the upsides AND downsides of having to rearrange my online presence due to corporate whims is that I get to discover that I neglected to share things in places.

I was asked if I could provide a wallpaper version of the dragonet banner, so I thought "Oi, might as well share it with the rest of the class."
So here you go, standard 1920x1080 HD deal (Can't go full 4K, since I lost the original PSD file and the sizes I have available are not compatible).
Enjoy!
