Underwater Light (Freebie #1)

And here come the first post-New Year gifts! This is a small illustration for Wh1te_Dragon featuring their beautiful character! ^^

Year Summary

I wanted to dedicate a separate post to Twiggle. After all, this little green dragon spent the whole year with us! And now I'll share a few interesting facts about him:

• The number of leaves on his horns increased each month.
  At first, it wasn’t noticeable in the first two to three months, b...

Why did you go on a journey by yourself?

Two pages remain until the end of the story arc. I’ll do my best to finish them as soon as possible and share them with you before the end of this year. <3

Queens never cry

I’m not sure if you’ve seen it, but there’s a funny fragment from an Asian comic circulating online called “Queen never cry”

Honestly, I have no idea what the source material is, but the illustration itself made me laugh so much. I thought that Timora might have been raised in a similar environment wi...

Only 3 pages remain until the conclusion of the story arc. I’ll do my best to release them by the end of this month :)

Guarding the Nest

This has now become one of my favorite works, as it helped me practice drawing feathers and fur. I was very hesitant to start this illustration because of the challenging colors combined with the background, but after spending some time working with the color wheel, I achieved exactly what I envisioned.

For some reason, this page took longer than usual. However, I saved all the step-by-step process screenshots, which I’ll share later!

ZHURZH’s stickerpack

I draw a lot of custom stickers, but what I’ve always lacked in life is… MY OWN STICKER PACK! Yes, I’m so happy to show off and share 14 stickers! I have so many more ideas for new ones and will keep adding to the pack in the future. If you'd like to use them, here’s the link to the pack 2024-12-12 18:56:48 +0000 UTC View Post

Deep-sea wyverns, despite living underwater, can also express emotions through tears... or rather, small bubbles. Next post, I'll show this detail up close.

Swimming Lessons from Altumar

Each of us has a unique talent: some can quickly piece together puzzles, others excel at cooking exquisite dishes, and a few can even speak the language of lizards fluently. But there’s one thing that everyone, without exception, must know how to do… SWIM WITH OPEN GILLS!
Or so it seems, ...

Happy Birthday to me!

Today is my Dragon Birthday! 💛

And I want to thank you, my little dragons, for being with me! It's incredibly heartwarming to see such a wonderful audience that has gathered here over the years. Some of you have joined recently, and some have been following my work for ten whole years… It’s both inspiring and a l...

Wallpaper of 2024 / December

Here comes the first month of winter!
And the last wallpaper release with Twiggle...

I’m so happy that he’s been with you and me throughout the entire year! This time, I wanted to make the artwork special, truly festive, and detailed, to capture the atmosphere of the upcoming holidays around the world....

How I Draw Dragon Wings – Tutorial

The large art pack I’ve been working on is finally finished! It was created to analyze my own method of drawing dragons and share it with you. This “tutorial” isn’t particularly lengthy but is quite visually informative.

The character ended up being a classic dragon with golden scales and green membranes....

On this page, I’m using my new custom brushes, which have been helping me work much faster. Especially with dialogue windows and scales :)

In the Light of Stained Glass – Art

I asked my followers a series of questions about an art piece to run a little quiz. It was Wyvern Party Quiz. Among all the participants, there was only one who was the most attentive and provided the correct answers to all the questions. As a reward, they received a piece of art from me!

Quick Sketch

Sometimes on gloomy days, you just want a little distraction. I really hope this illustration brightened the day for all three of you :3

Sometimes my sketch quality fluctuates and turns into something like a “messy sketch.” I really love this style, but it’s so elusive…

Clumsyhands - Zhurzh in the How to Train Your Dragon universe.

I take a break from drawing dragons by… drawing dragons. Creating sketches for the soul helps me recharge after long workdays. I dare to compare it to a head chef who comes home and enjoys simple dumplings with sour cream.

Since the age of 9, I’ve had a hyperfixation on the How to Train Your Dragon&n...

Why did you go on a journey by yourself?

In my life, I’ve experienced a truly cold gaze from people close to me a few times. Silence in such moments feels like true betrayal and rejection. I tried to capture that feeling in this scene…

Author’s comment: Would you be able to answer this question in Alti’s place? I’m not sure I could, though as the author, I don’t really have a choice!

This page went through a lot of revisions because I sometimes set myself very challenging perspective...

White Tiger - Gift

One of the clients for the wyvernlings requested two illustrations. In the midst of all the chaos, I marked the client down in my list and continued working on the little guys. When it was finally their turn, I noticed that for two orders, there were only three characters provided (instead of the required four)—one of them ...

Why did you go on a journey by yourself?

Due to moving and commissions over the past two weeks, I feel like the release of new pages is starting to catch up with me. But I’ll try to get back on track, as I’ll be working only on the comic and articles all next week.

Wallpaper of 2024 / November

The end of autumn, actually, sounds quite nice. Finally, the weather is letting go of its unpredictable mood and gradually taking on the appearance of winter. The last leaves are falling, and the sun is appearing less and less in the sky. There's a certain aesthetic atmosphere to it all, isn’t there?

To keep warm and ...

Wyvern Party

Okay, this WYVERN PARTY is definitely going down in history as one of my biggest art projects ever! There were SO MANY wyvernlings that I couldn’t resist gathering this entire scaly army! Try to find yourself and your friends in this crowd—how quickly do you think you’ll spot them?

While putting together this enor...

It seems like I’m starting to get better at drawing Alti’s face from the front—his nose often gives me trouble. Anyway, they finally started that conversation with Viridi!

The hardest part of this page was conveying emotions through Viridi’s gaze. I feel like I almost had a fight with my loved ones while trying to capture that expression on her face, haha!

Red Reef Admirer - Adopt announcement

“…Diving deep beneath the northern waters, where light breaks through in weak, trembling beams, a lone traveler may stumble upon a kingdom of black stones, polished by centuries-old currents. Following the intricate patterns on their surface step by step, they notice the water darkening, and the light slowly fading away. ...

Collections

Every Sunday, I hold a big planning session for the upcoming week, where I lay out all the important tasks related to my creative work: content, posts, drawing, and other duties. It takes a lot of time, but it brings me joy because I love organization and time management. Give me the freedom, and I’ll immediately start open...
