Rewriting&Redesigning Dragons: the Nine Realms — Part 4/4

D’Angelo Baker

There’s not much to say about the choices I made with his redesign other than how I wanted him to look like more than just a basic army brat. I did take reference from Snotlout in terms of his body’s physique.

Plowhorn

I actually really liked the original design of the Gembreakers. I’m just thinking that, realistically, it just doesn’t make much sense for them to have giant crystal looking spikes/horns unless their skeletons looked like that as well. Which it wouldn’t because we see dragon bones all the time and they look like the bones of any other creature on Earth, not like crystals. So I made the horn look like actual bone and made the rest of the design lean more towards a beetle.

I also wanted to make it’s wings more insect-like but I didn’t want to just straight up give her insect wings since all dragon wings look like bat wings in the httyd world, no exceptions. So instead I made it so that Gembreakers have multiple small wings, so they flap very fast and give off the impression of insect wings.

Alex Gonzalez

I just feel like this outfit gives off a more gamer/hacker vibe as well as it being cute. The detailing on her jeans and crop top is her own stitching. I did make her chunky, because realistically, she’s been inside all day everyday for years and with how often her moms seem to make her cookies, I would expect her to have some extra weight.

I should point out that I do understand that curly hair can be hard to model for animation this low budget but I think she just looks really good with curly bangs and I think I know a cheat code. Just copy and paste Gratuity Tucci’s bangs from Home. It’s a Dreamworks movie, so they have access to her model. I even straight up traced her bangs in this drawing just to prove my point.

Feathers / Pluma

I figured her design could be one where she looks scary but is actually very innocent. And keeping the Quetzalcoatl design aspect in mind, my brain immediately thought of the Slitherwing. Like maybe Feathers/Pluma could be a breed of dragon that’s a cousin to the Slitherwing, similer to Night Furies and Woolly Howls. Now I know these species’ haven’t been confirmed to be cousins but still.

Main differences between the Slitherwing and Featherhide here is that Pluma has feathers in place of poison and can mimic/sound-blast in place of venom-spit.

Also having a scarier design would help make Alex’s instant fear more understandable at first glance, since canon Feathers is just cute. And because my redesign now looks so much like a Slitherwing, on first viewing the audience would be worried about the poison Slitherwings have, until it’s revealed to have feathers instead of poison. A little bit of a subversion.

Eugene / August

I really wanted to give him this feel that he was like an Instagram or Tiktok fashion designer. That could even be a part of his character, maybe he and Jun bond over art and he helps her design the dragon armor later on.

Now I know I said that having loose clothing will look really bad in cheap 3D animation but listen; his clothes are not that loose and I made sure to frame his loose sleeves so they’d at least look okay within this show. And you can model wrinkles into the clothes even if they don’t move. Therefore giving the illusion of realistic cloth even though you’re not actually animating it like that. I also made it so that his pants would give some of that big boot silhouette without being bellbottoms and I didn’t make his shoes big as well —like I did with Olivia— as to kind of throw off the audience who'd notice, on whether or not he’d join dragon club.

You may notice that there are some similarities between his and Jun’s designs. They both wear thin sweaters (under August’s silk shirt), have circle necklaces and circle belt buckles. But with the clips of their buckles are on opposite sides from each other, as to kinda showcase the fact that they’re biological siblings but have animosities.

(Also note; I know the way his silk shirt shines is not how it would look in the final animation. That’s just the one creative liberty I took to make sure you would be able to tell it’s shiny in this art.)

Monstrous Nightmare

In regards to August's dragon, I think he'd name it Scorch. Original, I know but you know what? These names for the dragons on on the same level of Toothless being named Toothless simply because his teeth can retract.

I'd also color Scorch to be similar to the titan wing from rtte. Not exactly but very similar.

Other adults

I was originally going to redesign them as well since their designs wouldn’t have that many changes aside from better body proportions and maybe different hair. Along with Johann having modern clothes and Dr. Sledkin having a black or silver Rakke uniform. But it’s taken me two weeks just to make the pics that I finished and I have no more energy to make more. Maybe later on in life I’ll find the energy to do so and I’ll reblog this with those designs but for now I’m done.

D'ANGELO BAKER  in  DRAGONS: THE NINE REALMS  S01E06: Fault Ripper

[mangora]

Anyways the DC canon full names are so generic its like infuriating to me so here are my alternate full names names with some explanations:

S1:

Jake: Jake Kuroda

Meaning: First of all I’m keeping his full name as Jake instead of making it short for Jacob because I just don’t like the look or sound of the name Jacob. But second of all I chose Kuroda because it’s a Japanese surname that means black field (or black rice paddy). I thought it tied back to his association with death and graveyards in season one (lost his grandparents, lost Miriam and Ellie in apocalypse episode, biggest fear was graveyards, has skulls on his clothes, etc).

Tom: Thomas Velasco

Meaning: Velasco comes from the Spanish surname Vela, meaning watchman. I felt like to both fit his past as a spy and his present as team leader, both in seasons one and three.

Ellie: Elliott Gray

Meaning: Elliott fits her best out of all the Ellie names in my opinion (Elizabeth, Elaine, etc). I do like the surname Parker but think Gray more suitable since it ties back to her design and her morally gray nature.

Gabby: Gabrisya Malinowski

Meaning: I don’t hate Nowak as a surname for Gabby but Malinowski is slightly less generic and I think it suits her. It means raspberry and used to describe people who lived near raspberry fields, which both connects to the red in her design and her love for nature. Also I think the inclusion of Mal- in her surname is nice since it hints towards her future status as a villain. Also she’s sweet like a raspberry :) Blorbo from my show.

Miriam: Miriam Foster

Meaning: I actually really like Foster being Miriam’s surname, it’s less on the nose than something like Baker but still hints at how she fosters her skills and how she sort of fostered Jake and Tom (I miss their friendship so much man).

Alec: Alec Çelik

Meaning: Once again I actually like Alex’s surname, it means steel which I feel fits him as a strong villain.

Fiore: Fiorella Ricci

Meaning: Third time in a row; Fiore’s surname doesn’t really have an applicable meaning here but I just really like how it sounds and looks idk. I did consider Orsini (“little bear”, since she’s small and fierce), D’Angelo (“of the angels”, both since she looks innocent and as a tongue-and-cheek nod to her being a villain; also ties back to her being Catholic), or Abbandonato (uncommon surname meaning “abandoned/forsaken”, since she loses all her friends/allies by the end of season one and also since it’s kind of implied that her parents don’t care much for her), but I feel like Ricci sounds and looks the best, meanings aside.

Lill: Lilliana Park

Meaning: Park is a common Korean surname, which fits with my headcanon for Lill, but I chose it mostly because of the English connotation of…a park. And she spends a lot of time in nature and with her Girl Scouts in presumably city or national parks.

Will: William Greene

Meaning: Green. Like his shirt. Idk, society if Will had better characterization before he was booted.

Nick: Nicholas Gould

Meaning: He is not related to Dakota I don’t believe that. Anyways Gould like gold the previous metal, I don’t like Nick I don’t care if his last name is good society if Nick never existed.

Ashley: Ashley Hayes

Meaning: Graham is also good ig but Hayes like hay is funny to me.

Dan: Daniel Dressler

Meaning: Dressler is a common Ashkenazi surname that means to turn or spin, which I feel fits his habit of turning or changing who he voted with in most eliminations.

Drew: Andrew Leclair

Meaning: Leclair means bright light in French, which I feel fits since he illuminated Tom’s secret to Grett and since he clarifies himself in writing.

S2:

Aiden: Aiden Cadena

Meaning: Cadena is a Spanish-speaking surname that means chain. I picked it because he’s like, an e-boy. You could also get symbolic with it, like his fears chain him back? Idk

James: James Castelo-Domingos

Meaning: James’ Tik Tok handle in season two was JamesCDofficial so I figured his last initials were C & D. Castelo means someone who lives near a castle and Domingos comes from the word for Sunday or the lord’s day, and I figured those both hinted towards his massive online empire and him being the last person in the game in season two— the conqueror and the last one at the end.

Lake: Lake Müller

Meaning: This one’s been canon for years I’ve just accepted it already.

Ally: Allyson Valentine

Meaning: I feel like this is like a perfect online screen name, Allyson Valentine sounds like a real streamer name to me, but I mainly picked it after Jill Valentine. Like the Resident Evil character. She’s a gamer bro.

Hunter: Hunter Keyes

Meaning: I had a couple different ideas for Hunter’s surname, I wanted to go with Turing for famous codebreaker Alan Turing or Vigenére for the Vigenére cipher, but I felt like Keyes worked best when referring back to his interests in puzzles and his strategic skills, both because I think it goes better with his first name and because it has more Celtic origins since I headcanon him to be Scottish.

Tess: Teresa Hyun

Meaning: First of all, ONC can rip Korean Tess from my cold dead hands. But second of all I think Hyun works because depending on the hanja used to write it, it can mean dark/mysterious and worthy/virtuous, both of which fit Tess at different points in the series.

Maggy: Margaret O’Connor

Meaning: I honestly picked Maggy’s surname mostly for the sound and look; O’Connor allegedly means something along the lines of “hound of desire” or “lover or wolves”, which idk if you really stretch you could talk about how she desires companionship or how she’s been a lone wolf her whole life, something like that— but I just kind of thought it Worked more than anything. O’Connor is a pretty common Irish surname and I headcanon her to be Irish so that was also a factor in choosing it.

Kai: Kai Setiawan

Meaning: Setiawan is an Indonesian surname which means “loyal friend”, which I thought suited Kai since he’s loyal both to his friends (Maggy is a good example of this) and his beliefs.

Connor: Connor Boutella

Meaning: Boutella is an Italian surname that means “father of the hill”, which I feel suits him as the oldest member of the cast in season two and the leader of the heroes in later season three.

Karol: Karol Aguilar

Meaning: Karol is both a nature lover and a strong, conniving, and assertive antagonist, so I thought Aguilar (“haunt of eagles”) was a fitting surname for her.

Riya: Riya Varma

Meaning: First of all while I know his posts aren’t technically canon, I could’ve sworn Riya’s surname used to be Varma instead of Sharma in an old Ordartz post? So I kind of got attached to that. And second of all Varma just fits her better I think; the V sound is a lot sharper than the Sh sound which I like for her, and also Varma allegedly means “armor” while Sharma means something along the lines of “joy” or “bliss”, which I think suits her better since Riya is clearly a very armored person who’s afraid to be authentically kind since it’ll destroy her image.

Rosa María: Rosa María Amador Ortiz

Meaning: Rosa María is very loving and kind, and also very willing to stand up for her loved ones, so I figured Amador (“lover”) and Ortiz (“brave/strong”) fit her well.

Oliver: Oliver Bennett

Meaning: First of all idgaf about Oliver enough to find him a new surname but second of all I think Bennett is an ironic surname for him since it supposedly means “blessed one” and he was so unlucky in season two like all the time.

Yul: Yul Sunwoo

Meaning: This was another one that I picked mostly for the sound and look of the letters; I couldn’t find any reputable websites with a meaning for the name but it seems that every website I did find consistently insisted that Sunwoo had a positive connotation so I think it would be funny if that was Yul’s last name considering that he’s fucking terrible.

If you have any other ideas or notice something I got wrong with the explanations lmk, I just like coming up with character names. Yeah <3

Forbes Names Dallas Singer No. 1 R& B Artist of All Time

Erykah Badu, Dallas' favorite artist, is making international headlines again.

Erykah Badu, the queen of neo-soul, was honored this year by her hometown of Dallas with her very own line of DART buses.

Just a year before that, she made the cover of Vogue — a rare honor for an artist not promoting a new album or film.

Now, she is getting her flowers from Forbes.

Earlier this week, the magazine released yet another list, this time ranking the greatest R&B artists.

Forbes writer Jacqueline Schneider listed 25 artists who “exist across the genre and across generations” and “pioneered the genre.”

The genre of R&B has produced countless legends — or, you could say it was the other way around — including Sam Cooke, Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles. Unsurprisingly (to us, at least), Badu was ranked by Forbes at No. 1 as the greatest R&B artist of all time.

The list also included Mariah Carey, Anita Baker and Al Green.

Schneider credited Badu with changing the trajectory of mainstream music in 1997.

That year, Badu opened for D’Angelo and released her debut album, Baduizm, which Snyder dubbed “an iconic blend of R&B, soul and hip hop” that eventually won a Grammy for Best R&B album and went triple platinum.

“The Dallas native’s cultural impact touches music in a way other artists can’t compete with, and she’s known as the ‘queen of neo soul’ by music critics and fans,” Schneider wrote. “Uniquely able to express her identity, Badu encapsulates the ultimate in artistry, style and storytelling.”

The queen herself decided to share the news on her Instagram, where she posted a video with screenshots of the article, as well as a regal glamour shot of her own.

“Good stuff,” Badu captioned the post, which was appropriately set to her own song, “The Healer.”

Badu is widely considered as a groundbreaking pioneer.

Just a few years ago, when Joseph Gordon Levitt was asked by Chance the Rapper during a game segment on Jimmy Fallon to name the greatest artist of all time, the actor replied "Erykah Badu."

(The "correct" answer was "Beyoncé.")

Now, that's not a Forbes ranking, but a good sample representation of what Dallas has long known to be true about our favorite hometown hero.

While nothing beats Badu, she wasn’t the only Dallas-born artist to make the Forbes list cut.

Usher also made the top 10, landing at no. 8.

Schneider recognized the Super Bowl LVIII performer’s triple-threat status as a singer, songwriter and performer.

“Usher’s tunes are etched into the memory and cultural toolboxes of generations of people that grew up in the late 1990s and early 2000s,” Schneider wrote. “On stage, Usher’s dance moves impress with an innate sense of rhythm and the ability to sing, dance and entertain in unison.”

Eugene takes the L for D’Angelo.

I mean, Chief Baker compared to like Spitelout (abusive asshole) is pretty tame, but he’s still an authoritarian-type. So, yeah. Fair.

A few of my favorite songs and artists

A few of my favorite songs and artists

As an artist, I am heavily influenced by music that I like and I feel that those songs for the good or the bad are heavily ingrained in the music that I make. I definitely like the style of certain singers, bands and producers and I aspire to be like them in some aspect. Maybe an element from this song, a drum pattern like that song and a vocal style like another song. Because I heard and listened to certain songs growing up and others when I was able to seek and define my own musical identity any of these elements can contribute to what impact I will pull from my musical arsenal. I like certain piano riffs from Frank Ocean and Eric Roberson, and certain Drill Beats from 03 Greedo.  I like to create my own sound that pays homage to an element that I may hear as I am listening. I think much of the music that I made in high school has a heavy Tyler the Creator and Frank Ocean influence, but also has a heavy keyboard influence that is uniquely my own. I believe the music that I am making now is influenced by the transitions and lyrics of The Dream, along with people like Ant Clemons, and Teddy Walton. But at the same time all of my favorite artists are weaved in and throughout whatever I am working on.  I am also heavily influenced by the music that my relatives liked during the time I was growing up. Artists like Frank McComb, Whitney Houston, Mary J. Blige, Will Downing, Anita Baker, the Temptations, Babyface, Najee, Phylis Hyman, Prince, Chante Moore, Angie Stone, Joss Stone, Teena Marie and so many others. I have always admired the songwriting skills of Babyface, and I study his songwriting skills and approach. I have a personal goal to take songwriting courses and improve my style and approach, which I believe will greatly enhance my productivity and performance as an artist. It will also allow me to branch out and be able to write songs for other musicians and artists. I would really like to work as a songwriter behind the scenes while crafting myself as an artist. This way I will be established and validated through my work with others and well known for my work with others and my own projects.  

“This Love” – Maroon 5, “Spanish  Joint” – D’Angelo“ (one of the first songs I mastered on piano), Ten Outta Ten” – Teddy Walton, “Super Rich Kids” – Frank Ocean “Earfquake” – Tyler the Creator,  “If I Part 2” – 03 Greedo, “Turnin’ Me Up” – BJ the Chicago Kid, “Lessons” – Eric Roberson,  “Win” – Jay Rock,“Crew” – Goldlink, “Double Up” -  Nipsey Hussle, “Watermelon Sundae” – Dom Kennedy, “I Don’t Care” – Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, “Eighth Grade Demo” – Poo Bear, “Fire Fly” Childish Gambino,  “I Won” – Future, “Shake Back” - Kodak Black, “I Luv Your Girl” – The Dream, “Circus” – Summer Walker, “Outta Time” – Bryson Tiller,  “Mama I Made It”, “Story of My Life” & “Appreciation – Ant Clemons, “Cooped Up” – Post Malone
