decided to take a crack at my own contest and redraw one of my favorite moments from Escaping Peril! Here's the graphic novel page I took inspiration from:

My art comp is still running until the end of august, for anyone looking to join! You can submit through my discord server - here's the link! More information is available below - ignore the end date on that image, it has been moved to august 30! Obviously a contest isn't much of a contest without competition, so I'd really appreciate it if you guys could spread the word or join in yourselves! ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )

Can u do Jambu?

Of course! And to everyone who's super early, yes I will be posting Pineapple too. If future me is on top of everything, it should be scheduled to come out 15 minutes after this posts. I'm making it my personal goal to knock out most of the LGBTQ+ couples of the WoF universe during pride month.

Anyways, here's my take on jolly Jambu! There's one particular panel of the graphic novel where he's flying through the rainforest, and I couldn't get that out of my mind while drawing this so I just had to use a similar pose. I'm a big fan of Jambu's graphic novel design, but noooot really his colors - so most of my design process while making this was figuring out how I could adapt his pink color scheme to be a little more interesting. I shifted his primary color to be more orange-toned, which made it easier for me to incorporate secondary colors like yellow and teal. This was important to me because I wanted Jambu's design to somewhat correspond to Glory's, given that it isn't super easy to tell they're related in the graphic novels/books. I did try to keep some of the raspberry color through his leg pattern, but sadly most of it did get erased.

Jambu's main pattern is a mix between hearts and stripes - I'm not really sure why but I always imagined him with little heart patterns all over, even if it was never mentioned in the book or graphic novel. The patterns are most visible on his limbs and chest, but I did sneakily draw a few more hearts on his wing, using the base colors blue and green. All in all, I really like Jambu's character and the way he acted towards Glory, and really wish the books would've shown us a little more of him.

Thanks so much for reading this far! If you're interested in requesting a character to be redesigned, head over to my inbox or check my pinned post to see if they're already on the waitlist! And to other artists seeing this post - my WoF art contest is running until the end of june!

(I sincerely apologize to anyone who's seen this a billion times.)

We have quite a few entries in the WIP stage, and I'm super impressed with the sketches I'm seeing so far! Submissions are done through my server here, which will also be sticking around as a long-term art community for you guys to draw and chat in:

Seeee you later! (*^.^*)

i love your ideas this is such an inspirational feast<33

In your Jewel redesign, you said that Wasp probably wouldn’t let her get away with full drag, but that does make me curious. What would a dragon in drag would look like?

you will not BELIEVE how much I've thought about this, both during and after designing her. I can answer your question and beyond!!

The (Drag) Queens of Pantala

In order to properly explore Pantalan drag, I first looked to the (cultural) definition of drag itself, as well as learning some brief history. With the first known preformance occurring in 1867 (Although not truly popularized until the 19th century,) Human Rights Campaign and other LGBTQ+ organizations describe drag as a preformance art form that uses costumes, makeup and other tools to illustrate exaggerated expressions of gender identity, intended to critique gender inequality or other social justice issues. Drag has traditionally been preformed/pioneered by members of the LGBTQ+ community, predominantly gay men and/or people of color.

With this in mind, Pantalan drag was most likely created and developed by Silkwings (especially in jewel hive) as a form of protest art. I imagine the movement was later popularized by hivewing audiences, becoming more palatable to the wider public after being endorsed by a privileged group as art movements often are. While there are a myriad of social justice issues Pantalan drag could have originally meant to critique, the loss of Silkwing rights and deforestation of Pantala were probably the two main driving topics.

Their Artistic Process

As for the actual production of drag costumes or makeup, Silkwings would have had to work with what was available to them - fruits, vegetables, basic dyes/craft materials and their own silk. They would construct their own jewelry using beads instead of gold, weave their garments, and grind mica with pigments and oil to make eyeshadow.

Leaves, roots and trees would be frequent design elements of early drag: with the eye-catching glamour of a dragon working to simultaneously distract detractors and seek out supporters. Heavy accessorizing and imagery of wealth would also be important to presenting Silkwings as equal to Hivewings, through metaphorical sense. The processes of creating Pantalan drag is what leads me to believe it would prosper best in jewel hive: outside of their relaxed rules and support of Silk/Hive equality, they would also have easiest access to craft materials, dyes and a lively art scene.. endorsed by Lady Jewel herself.

Just a few thoughts on drag. Thanks for asking this question! I was looking for a chance to spill and you gave it to me ( ´ ▽ ` ).｡ｏ♡

I tried creating a fake game screenshot or a visual novel. The stylization is heavily inspired by the game Sorry We're Closed.

im finally getting to work on some personal stuff by updating my main sona!🩷 i missed just drawing my ocs

gf and i have been cooking up refs together and im losing ittt,,, i can't wait to put them on artfight this year<33

[biting-rose]

Hello! Your art is so pretty I can't sgshagahugh. I love how you draw dragons and anthros it's just so 😍 also your whiteout design ohmygosh. Anyway, I was wondering if I could trace some of your anthros for some studies? I love your style and I'm trying to improve on mine <3 if not that's completely alr, I understand ^^

thank you!

i'd say sure! i really appreciate you asking, i'd just suggest not posting it if it's heavily traced, instead use it to learn. i promise when you get the hang of it you'll enjoy photo referencing a lot and you'll feel so so proud of your progress <33

also i'd ask to keep the trace practice to my fanart! so go ahead with the wof art but please not my ocs, im just a little sensitive ;w;
