I’m officially starting Critical Role 8V

(I’m starting on Campaign 2 so I can catch up with all the hype and stuff that I’ve seen this whole time)

[bluebrine]

y’all ever think about pearlcatchers? like really get a good look at ‘em? cause those sons of guns sure are just. weird horses huh

the urge to draw these ungodly ungulate dragons was inspired by a few recent... educational posts (here, here, & here) by @golden-lionsnake, @olessan-lokenosse, & @cecils-dragons respectively!

Hell yeah babey, let’s appreciate some artists!!!

In no particular order (I’m literally just skimming my following list):

@cityofinoue Amazing gijinkas, so many great expressions and unique designs and I just love?? all of it??? I wanna hug and squish literally every character they draw and they’re actually making me lowkey wanna try my hand at gijinkas, wow

@owl-fr Soft and pretty and shiny! Adoring that sweet, sweet watercolour (and I hope they post more in the future!!)

@cecils-dragons Also soft and huggable and I Love the pixely style!! Also very good gijinka designs and everything he draws is just so loveable. Also the first person I’ve seen draw a transmasc gijinka with chest scars and it almost made me cry

@arctic-rising (Don’t think I’m gonna leave you out!!!) Her art is super pretty and makes me v happy every time I see it on my dash. So pretty and captures characters so well in a single drawing and goddamn the lines. The details. Just so nice to look at

@skraldrog I haven’t seen anyone mention them yet and that is a Crime!!! Their designs are so creative and so full of character and their art in general is so pretty!!

@nimrook-fr One of my biggest inspirations when it comes to FR art tbh. Also amazing designs and so many details and god, the shading. That high contrast, warm, sunset-y shading they do gets me every time. One day I’ll have the money and the timing to buy something from them! One day!! (Not a big name, my ass!! Yes I sent that ask)

@olessan-lokenosse One of the first artists I followed in the community, and man are there no regrets! Their art (including their accents) continues to amaze me every day. Once again, the details! The style! The way they draw all the breeds in such a pleasant, believable way! Loving all of it

And honorable mention, I guess?? @rauniokirjastonklaani/ @papermonkeyism bc while I haven’t seen her draw FR stuff in a while, she’s the first person I’ve heard about FR from and kind of p much the reason I’m here now. Also overall my favourite artist on the big heckin internet so she’s getting that honorable mention! What’s not to love about her art tbh?? There’s gorgeous pencil sketches and so many good colours and softness and good story and I just Love

Each year the annual meeting of the ambassadors brings a new face or two 🐍

[olessan-lokenosse]

It's my 9 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Oh god my dragons are NINE years old

Happy birthday Vanya your age increasingly fits your Old Boss Lady vibes

[olessan-lokenosse]

My progens are 8 years old! 🥳

[olessan-lokenosse]

Sometimes I wonder how the dragon-beastclans conflict looks from the side that has to fight for land and resources against an entire race of literal dragons 🤔

[olessan-lokenosse]

The Bubblewind Express is a ferry and courier service run by a small clan that comprises primarily of guardians. These guardians trim down their keratinous fins and spines — which regrow — in order to wear the harnesses that carry their cargo and passengers.

They offer their services both to air-breathers and water-breathers, with aerial and nautical routes alike. Guardians are some of the fastest swimmers in Sornieth, and their business is popular even among unallied clans.

Whether it be by air or sea, the Bubblewind Express is easily spotted through the flags they wear at the end of their tails. Their routes are known across the Sea of a Thousand Currents, and all dwellers know that they can simply wait at the designated rest stops if they require a lift.
