Banner - Eclipsed Era

Lore banner for my unofficial reboot of the Dracostryx ARPG! I was so sad to see one of the ARPG titans fall to such petty drama, but now with Dracostryx being out in Creative Commons, I've taken up the opportunity to preserve Dracostryx's legacy while also creating a new world for players to enjoy!

Dracostryx: Ashes Reforged is still in very early stages of development, so it won't be released anytime soon, but it's been super fun working on it so far!

another attack! i keep forgetting to post these,,

I went through and dug up all my yearly summaries of art going back to 2015. I'm so glad for doing these because its a lot of fun to see what changes and what stays consistent about my art over time. It's kind of a scrapbook too because I can recall where I was when I drew so many of these pieces, what was happening in my life, who I was hanging out with, etc. Lots of good memories.

My favorite part is still 2018-2020 where you can see Fallout 4 take over my entire life.

2022 still feels rougher to me than past years all around, but that was when my health issues reached the point of severely impairing my ability to sit at my desk at all and there was definitely a lot of transitioning going on, getting used to a new "normal."

I think 2023 will be a good one!

A few "pagedolls" of various characters I used to have in different groups. First two completed in 2020 and 2019 respectively; last two are from 2017.

Ik dracostryx is on hiatus but its crazy how the current owner made shit up to ban me for. i asked multiple times for proof of what i was being banned (because it didn't happen and never happened), was ignored and then had my items/stryx dumped despite being told i had like 2 weeks to trade things. scummy behavior. (i can provide proof of this happening if i need to mod)

Yeah just make sure you censor out names and stuff

also apologies for the delay on posting things, tumblr doesn't like notifying me

I'm developing an ARPG!

To those unfamiliar with the concept ARPGs (Art Role Playing Game) are groups in which you draw/write about your characters for that group doing various things to take part in and complete various activities such as breeding, questing and fighting. Epoch is planned to feel overall similar to ARPGs such as Dracostryx, Kukuri, Primeval-Age, Souls-Between and others like these.

Epoch is an ARPG focused on extinct reptiles from Mesozoic Eurasia specifically, such as dinosaurs and pterosaurs. It will have a variety of fun features such as genetics and mutations, traits that influence performance in different areas and a unique approach to herd/pack groups and questing that aims to encourage players to develop the personal story of their animals. Epoch is being developed with a semi-realistic angle in mind, with the visuals and gameplay both being influenced by reasonable speculation for the species involved.

The first 6 species that will be available to players are ones specifically chosen that were important and influential to paleontological history: Velociraptor, Protoceratops, Megalosaurus, Iguanodon, Pterodactylus and Ichthyosaurus. More species are planned for later updates once the game is released.

I can't give any concrete dates on when Epoch will finally be ready to play, as it is still fairly early in development. While the bases are done there is still a lot of work to be done on the art side of things to get all the assets and guides ready, along with setting up the website that Epoch will be hosted on using the Lorekeeper framework. However I intend to update regularly on development progress over on this blog here @epocharpg so please follow if you want to see more about this project. I've already posted the first dev update over there!

In the meantime, here's a sneak peak of the bases for the starter species!

Repostober 26, more dracostryx stuff. Still pretty happy with this painting.

I take inspiration for my visual art from a variety of sources, though most are video games.

Despite my first fandom being Sonic The Hedgehog, my first fanart I can remember is of Puyo Puyo. I remember so vividly the desire to replicate that art style, that I just began drawing without a thought.

Then, Miitopia. Then, Animal Crossing. Then, Kirby—specifically, Kirby's Dream Land 3 and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.

However, I take a notable amount of inspiration from my friends' art and fanart. Yours included, of course. Your art and art process is very inspiring.

aw, thank you...

i can trace back a lot of our art influence to not just sonic but also the general sonic fandom - there's a specific fanartist that blends sonic with general furry and they were a pretty big influence when we were younger and are why our own sonic art is usually a weird midpoint. actually no there's two specific fanartists and theyre both great and were huge inspirations to ica

after that we entered our lapfox era and that was a heavy influence on a Lot of things. so was lupisvulpes once we watched audience!, there's a specific frame in the 2017 version of come back down that we look at and go "oh, yeah, that's lupis vibes"

we generally stagnated on drawing humans for a long while until we started studying the art of a yogscast fanartist (who is also responsible for how we draw goggles). i remember specifically the way we drew noses for a while was based off of a zelda comic we saw on tumblr? also dunedeca's art, especially switchout

stellarmass was an influence on our alien designs, especially zuraki. also the way somebody we ran into on iscribble drew giegue ended up being the start point that mutated into the limoli. we also spent a lot of time in the deviantart arpg community, specifically dracostryx + world-of-reos + ketucari, and have a strong love of certain closed species like grem2s

i know for a while (2014) we drew fists like the chunky polygonal hands in sa2 because we liked how it looked. the way we draw noses and eyes in our more chibi mcyt fanart style is inspired by someone who i think doesnt draw mcyt stuff anymore?

oh, also, homestuck. just.. homestuck in general. and mlp. i think by now that's gotten mostly shaved off though. most of the time we're shaped by artists in the fandoms alongside us - taking note of what they do and what about their art catches our eye. the thing is, we bounce from fandom to fandom so much that it all kinda blurs together and i guess that's how our style formed - everything's a patchwork
