Ok I have trouble with hair and fur but I’m actually happy with how this guy came out. You can find him in my threadless shop! (SleepySpiderArt)

Sketch from some years back, of the kind of chimera that would be found sometimes in the fictional world of Bennuma.

A creature I saw while dreaming, it's a sort of mix between owl and dragon

[bookwyrm-art-stuff]

fluffy dragon.

(versions with and without stripes)

I overthought this way more than it looks like, so details below the cut (drawing details and the random shit I made up about this type of dragon. Don’t be fooled, I made it up as I wrote it)

This cutie lives in the mountains and other cold places. It was vaguely based off polar bears, mountain goats, snow leopards and mountain lions, besides my usual wings of fire style dragons and stock knowledge about drawing stuff like fur.

This particular individual is a juvenile, coming up on their last molt into their adult coat. Since these dragons reach maturity around when the first heavy snow hits, their new coat will be entirely white. Come spring, when the snow begins to melt and shortly after the mating season, they will molt into a more mottled and darker pelt to raise chicks.

The chicks are born live, and raised usually by two or more individuals. While capable of sexual reproduction, this species tends to reproduce asexually, but raise the chicks in groups of two to seven adults. There are around three chicks per dragon ecery season (all in one litter), and dragons in a group usually give birth in staggered intervals across the season, so that there are only three to six newborn chicks at a time. Parenting varies across groups; some have specific dragons caring for specific ages of chicks (one or two care for newborns, others care for youngsters, more care for older juveniles), some simply rotate with each litter, but one oddly consistent fact is that the parent almost never cares for their biological chicks. A dragon will slow down somewhat during the gestation period (these dragons often move to work with the youngest chicks in larger parent groups so that they don’t strain themselves with teaching older chicks more difficult things like hunting) but after giving birth they bounce back very quickly, and most keep with the younger chicks through their growth, rather than caring for their own newborns, especially if the parent is inexperienced. If there are complications in a birth or other injury or a parent dies, the rest of their group will take over care of their chicks and them if they are still alive. These communities result in a shockingly high survival rate in both parents and offspring through the summer, though during the winter these groups split up and youngsters and adults alike die from natural causes. While they separate during the winter, there is little hostility between individuals, and they often simply ignore each other until spring, though groups during mating season have been seen to act friendly towards each other year round. During “mating season,” when groups of parents gather and arrange to raise chicks, yearlings from last season are often adopted into groups of more experienced individuals of at least six years and help parent the chicks while not yet bearing any of their own.

Buffo The Clown’s Circus Presents: ‘Crazy Feature Of Creatures!’

[k-e-lolo]

[wendi-bnkywuv]

More pinball concept art, fronto f cabinet. Features one of the imaginary creatures/extraterrestrials in a suggestive pose common for pinball, with "start me up! urn me on!" written around the start button. Also has a dual image for coin insertion, where the first one will simply to looking at the player, but upon inserting enough coins (or on free play) the image would change to one exclaiming with joy. Could also change once the player has pressed the start button.

Another note is the ball could be launched from the plunger itself, creating the idea that the creature featured on the backglass is spitting the ball out on to the playfield.

Unicorn, but the horn just keeps on going...

[mariana-oconnor]

OK okokok... gonna put this 'I just woke up' thought out there because this is tumblr and what else is it for? Someone has probably already said this and I haven't seen it, but whatever. I will throw it out anyway.

SO... Gale. We've all seen the posts where people quote the Gale lines about being naturally gifted with magic as a baby, a prodigy etc. and then point out that this is sorcerer behaviour.

BUT, what if... you're all right and it is sorcerer behaviour. BUT the orb feeds on weave/magic right? And sorcerers are born with innate magic... so what if he was born a sorcerer, then trained as a wizard, but the orb consumed his sorcerous magic. And that's why he's not as powerful as he once was, because, unbeknownst to him, all this time, he's been using that natural sorcerous connection to make accessing the weave easier. And now that's gone. Eaten up. Destroyed forever by the Netherese void.

And that's part of what's causing him pain. Because an instrinsic part of himself has been taken away. And he feels it like a phantom limb. Maybe he thinks it was actually connected to his relationship with Mystra, rather than a part of him, and that adds to his sense of loss from that relationship.

What if the first magic item Gale fed to the orb was himself and he doesn't even realise it?

One day I was sitting at my 6th grade class bored out of my mind, then I had the idea to play music in my head to pass the time. I haven't been able to turn it off since.

What is their problems

I'm sure that this would have been true of many of the great fiction writers. In fact, of most children. Tell me that you didn't create fantastical stories of imaginary characters or creatures as a child.
