Listener: I mean... she's got the jewelry, the beautiful hair, that jawline...

Me:

Me: I crafted her to be regal just from looks alone. I need people to know without reading that she's not someone to be trifled with.

...But also, yes, she's designed to be hot.

Just picture if you will, a golden dragon, eyes of deep amber, long locks of hair, staring down at you.

My favorite interaction at #ALA was during the poster-showcase event.

Me: (Discussing book plot)

Listener: Can I just ask a quick question?

Me: Yeah! Sure!

Listener: ...Was the dragon, like... designed to be hot?

Dragon in question:

It was just.

Really hot outside.

I'm glad I'm in AC now. A couple of folks came by and bought books. Also, met a lot of authors that showed up.

I REALLY should have brought a tent. Next outdoor event, I'm gonna.

How on earth do you write fight scenes

As a MATTER of FACT!!!

#dragons from across bluesky:

Share your dragons. ALL of them. It's #dragonposting time.

I just love... art. I love people's depictions of characters just... pop out of the page. If I were any wealthier, I'd commission people their worth in art. Y'all truly deserve way more than what you're asking.

I don't care if you say you can only draw a stick figure, LET ME SEE YOUR ART!!

Artwork & Commissoned Works This page is for all of the artwork I have either commissioned, fan work, or personal art I’ve gotten for the series! All credits are provided in the links above the title! Grouchy Dragon Kiw…
