An anthropomorphic lizard with blue spotted skin, dark eyes with white star-shaped pupils, and glowing hands. She is wearing a dark blue veil resembling a braid, a dark blue, floor-length dress with silver embroidery, a crystal corset belt, and a light blue cape. She is holding the fabric in her raised hand, so the inner lining is visible. Inside the cape there is a picture of a palace with light blue walls and darker blue embellishments. The main part of the palace is a large building with a dark blue, shiny, dome-shaped roof supported by dark blue columns, meanwhile the side part contains two tall towers connected by a floral-patterned bridge. In front of the building there is a lawn of blue grass, and behind it there is a desert, mountains and the starry sky. In the background, behind the characters, there is a silver frame, the full moon, and the stars.

So I submitted an appeal to Gumroad asking why the Kloey listing was flagged, and then they just unsuspended my account and unflagged it without me having to do anything.

Weird but I'm glad that it was all sorted out??

Ahh thank you!! I'm trying to get away from the dreaded characters floating in blank white spaces, even if it's just abstract shapes for framing.

Oh, that's quite the honor! What image of her did you choose?

The sadness might not go away, but it always reassures me to know that I gave an animal all the comfort, love, and the best life I could have when they were with me.

Not me going back to edit old Pyrexia WIPS by adding massive badonkers ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Thank you, Sindri! It's nice to draw again, even if I am a little rusty

When you see art of your characters on there, you know your OCs have reached waifu status hehe

Losercity reminds me of old blueboard furry posting, but without all the chuds- it's weirdly nostalgic??

Caley! Glad to see that you decided on a name for her, it fits her well! ๐Ÿ’–

Anyway, use jinxxy :)

Hmm. If you are open to suggestions, maybe Becky, Sal, or Cody?

No matter, she's really great, and I'd love for her to be a regular character of yours!

I'll try and find some good comparisons. I'm not sure how far back I should dig around, though? I have digital work from maybe 2013 and then I still have my very first sketchbook from high school somewhere, too

Or I can just pick a character and go with that

Sometimes, I find it helps to look back through older art that I've drawn. It reminds me of where I'm at and that I can actually draw gooder than I give myself credit for.

Also, I usually find things I still like!

I adore the subtle cool colors you mixed into the warmer tones. Very nice scale texture, too! ๐Ÿ’–

Illustration of an anthropomorphic dragon wearing beach clothing while looking away at the camera. She looks serene as the wind blows on her. The colours are warm and hint at a afternoon  where the sun is starting to hide. She has black horn and dark thick scales mix with yellowish, softer scales.
