New: Craft in Sight [16th October 2025]

Little overdue piece in the back of my head, but basically I finally got around to doing a space dragon (for real) since even the "feral" Dracoghouls are aliens by origin.

#dragon #scifi #scifiart #alien #space #worldbuilding #illustration #digitalart #art

A scene in which a highly reflective, glowing capsule-shaped spacecraft is spotted from a larger space station in space. There are no stars visible due to the way the “camera” would be exposed. The main subject in question - a non-humanoid alien dragon wearing a spacesuit, holds on to a support bar with some tethering back to the main station.

Ghoultober 2025: Ghoul Batch 6 [18th October 2025]

I can say that the next batch is something I've long neglected for a while in the batch - trying to turn uh my own humanoid dragons into their original forms.

#anthro #furry #furryart #alien #ghoul #dracoghouls #characterdesign #oc #art

A batch of illustrations depicting colorful anthro synapsid "dragons" that are colloquially known as ghouls or formally the Nari (Dracoghouls).

F (she/they), 1.71 m (5'7"), Tagyrean/Aquatic

Floorpikel Pelkrow (GT25-38)
F (she/they), 1.65 m (5'5"), Droobaatori/Arboreal

Some characters thats like out of my head.

The second one is the same character as the first - just with a full feral design. I figured if you were to practice feral or animal characters (as with one example), might be something to try.

Last one's just a fan character... for some niche movie

A head portrait of a scaly dark purple-scaled dragon with large main horns stretched to the back of his head with three smaller horns around his “forehead” jutting to the front. The dragon has a cloak - and the background is of a dark cloudy day.

I honestly don't feel for RGB lighting for PCs - I would be just happy without them. Its gimmicky and sometimes distracting in a way, just using that as a "gamer aesthetic" is iffy.

Annnnd its #portfolioday again.

I do creature designs for myself - and a whole lot of worldbuilding (currently fixed on trying to get Drachor done), though much of it is just a hobby (maybe paid soon?). Sometimes I will do paleoart or outside of the box (specevo) but mostly atm its just dragons.

A group of various Nari individuals with varying colours that match the wheel of their respective hues (divided up to eight), though some of them do not necessarily match the same colour. In the centre is the text "Color Wheel Challenge: Naric Edition", with the time of the project starting on 25th February 2025 and ending on 3rd March 2025. There are two major distinct types of Nari depicted, the original "ghouls" (those without a set of underbelly scales and with ears) and the modified "draconians" (those with dragon/dinosaur-like features).

An infographic or diagram of the gaukogag ("guivre" as a human exonym), a carnivorous wyvern-like false terror bird known as Pseudophurorhacidae, which they are part of it. They are the largest species of that subgroup, which are distinguished from true flying dragons/paramammals known as lungids, but are close relatives of it who have developed wings but never be able to fully take off in flight. Shown here are the range map of a specific species of it (G. gaucia), alongside both male and female individuals compared to an average nari (1.8 metres), with the female gaukogag being the tallest by 2.6 metres.

An image in which a blue orb resembling a pulsar star rips through the image and segmenting it into a cross-section of four separate scenes. The scene depicts three different aliens going through the same experience - of the Founders’ remnants (an ancient race of extinct aliens older than them)

Going clockwise-
1) A six-eyed alien with an exoskeletal head and protrusions with cyan ribbons (yep I can’t describe that), a suit with their own air tank.
2) A four-eyed vaguely avian-like alien with fuzzy antennae and two pairs of graspers (arms), wearing a maroon-orange spacesuit and also carrying their own air tank.
3) A derelict planet with scraps of metal and debris of fallen spacecraft orbiting around the world. This planet is said to be inhabited by nemoforms - synthetic, mechanical lifeforms that the Progenitors have left behind.
4) A slender alien with a closed mouth that if opened, would open up like a flower (see Demogorgons from Stranger Things… again bad describer on my part) and some aesthetic eyebrow metal implants. Also wears a spacesuit - and has a watch.

Two sky blue draconians (or Dracoghouls), where the right is vaguely ghoul-like though distinguished by his webbed hands and dark segmented ridges and the left is a proper dragon with goggles, looks over their larger boat with a smaller boat stand with three Naric ghouls. The middle boat ghoul looks at the two onlookers, convincing them of a sale, while the right ghoul on the boat holds a paddle and the large, left ghoul looks at the lone blue ghoul on the platform with his small pet pseudo-rodent (descended like all of them, from native Drachic wildlife). On the top right are two conversing Dracoghouls, one on the left is a light pink ghoul talking, while on the right is a “mekhira” (a half-dragon/half-ghoul Nari hybrid that is rare due to draconic assimilation but sometimes happens in their kind in contemporary times), pushing a small cart carrying frozen ice. This is set in a tropical, wetland location where travelling by river is a social custom for the Nari on this planet.

dunno why I need to post this but it showed up on my feed again... I guess I'll do it myself. But yes, 100% of the time I just do it for fun (which isn't that much unfortunately) and... improve on things.
