Do you think you may eventually make a guide of some kind? Your art is awesome, and it'd be great to learn from your process.

A boreal dragon knight. Their rigid armor depicts an icicle motif. A lightly built work of design, dragons have used magic to better understand their world, and taken advantage of that to create arms, armor, and structures based upon the natural world.

A sky priest howls their faith to the heavens, wreathed in electrified copper wires and separated from them only by a thin veil of insulating cloth. Dragon religions typically derive from nature, and plains dragons view lightning as a sudden break: the divide between heaven and earth temporarily splitting. Hence, thunderstorms are religious occasions to the particularly devout.

A mountain dragon raider spewing fire. Sometimes faith nor intricate design have little place, and simple steel mail and a terrifying helmet suffice to bring their wrath down in conquest.

Individual versions of the three sketch portraits I made. Quite happy with them, especially as a trio.

Faith, war, and the intricacies of nature. The drivers of all dragon societies, these three color practice pieces all represent various extremes depicting advanced plate armor, fearsome scale mail, and priestly raiment and wires.

Color practice. A boreal dragon knight wearing lightly-built plate armor with a rigid icicle motif. Boreal dragons are lords of the north, through usage of heat and cold magic. They turn frost upon their foes, and this is reflected in their armor.

I can't speak for most other weapons but AT Duna's a blast with greatsword. Especially getting back-to-back offsets.

Forgive the poor quality, this is a bit of an older sketch.

A personal favorite design of mine, this is a crowned reaver. They're giant flightless wyverns and apexes of tundras and occasionally boreal forests.

I think I did a better job without color, but I figured I'd throw in the colored version for the sake of it.

What even was the context for this

Beautiful. Reminds me a lot of Legiana from Monster Hunter.

I mean I see a lot of artists out there and I'd say its about a 50/50 split. I guess gender norms are super entrenched for some people.

Hear me out: they have cool alien birds

This thing is a whalepig. I'm really proud of this design, but could someone give some pointers for final details and polishing I could do for this piece? It's supposed to be a big blubbery and hairy mammal built to weather arctic winters and wyvern attacks.

Is that a feder???

Play a game or something, that might help take your mind off it.

By the way could I ask if you're inspired at all by the art direction of Fromsoftware (Dark Souls, Elden Ring, etc.)? A lot of your art gives kind of a souls-esque vibe and I really love it.

They just keep getting weirder, I love it. Really pushing the boundaries of what an audience would recognize as a dragon is really awesome.

A hagwyrm in unslain, is it?

I'm shocked this is the only comment referencing the whole... Deal with this illustrated edition.

Bro honestly feels like some elaborate practical joke like Borat or smth.

You're a real one for this.

This is an excellent way to improve mood.

Pokemon definitely wasn't on the Sawyer artwork bingo card.

Holy peak

A "tundra brown" ice dragon referenced from a development screenshot of the dragon in-game. WIP

Ice and Fire II hype! Second fanart piece, this is an ice dragon from the upcoming Ice and Fire II mod, mad by the creator of Alex's Mobs and Alex's Caves. I'm trying out a different style here, and this one is still a WIP, but I thought I'd share him anyway.

Reposting with a better-quality crop.

"mace-faced" armor. Helmet ridges loosely inspired by the flanges of maces. The rest of the design is a bit rapid and shoddy, but I wasn't looking to make something perfect, moreso to explore heavier armor ideas for Dragons.

A sketch of Boreal Dragon plate armor. Forgive the low quality, as this was moreso to explore potential design choices.

It is the cat's now.
