✯ DRAGON !!! ✯

[ * I had the sketch for this done from not long ago and I felt like coloring it so I grabbed the scan and did this :P ]

[ * I was too lazy to actually do lineart, so I tried something new... ]

[ * I love this guy <333 rhrhhrhr (the autism for dragons and the adoration for Ink makes for the interesting mix) ]

[ * RAAAAAAHHHH MORE OF THE CREATURE] [ * Draconink’s design is of course made by @starmonsterrr!! ]

(OG Ink -> Comyet)

[ * Hihi! I saw the tags from the post you reblogged from me, and I think I'd like to hear the rest of the 'Nonsense'™ ]

[ * if you post this and respond chances are I'm gonna continue this from my alterhuman blog, @purring-io ]

[ * also... I feel as if I know you, but it's just a hunch. A strong one ]

[ * and yknow probably a correct one ]

[ * So trying to remember what on Earth I had written out that got deleted yesterday— I think I’ll just segue into talking about also thinking I might be a skeleton monster…….. and why I’m hesitant to call myself either thing (dragon or skeleton) ]

[ * Tbh the skeleton one is a lot less evidence based to me, it more of a ‘seeing myself as it brings me unbridled joy’ ]

[ * And is also generally a comfort when I’m feeling general body dysphoria around gender (It kinda feels like I’m stuck in an ecto body all the time, the way I (and others?) view gender for the AU skeletons being very weird/not super important/it doesn’t matter really what bits they have they still stick with roughly the same perception) ]

[ * I worry about how fandom related it is though— like going to find out I was only thinking I was one because I’ve been into UTMV for a hot minute ]

[ * And in the same vein, how voluntary. Like yeah I keep coming back to thinking about it, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that I am or that it’s something involuntary. Just that I keep thinking about it. ]

[ * Aaaaaand also about how tied into gender it is, and if I’m causing myself more trouble to realize myself as this when it’s something else going on ]

[ * ….it really doesn’t have to matter though I think? Maybe? Even if I’m wrong later, it doesn’t make it any more real or important now ]

Hi! Is there anything about dragon ink that makes him different from other inks? The reason I ask is because I was wondering if he has a special past or personality. I really like your drawings!! have a great day!

[ * dear stars now i want to make draconink lore ]

[ * umm. There is a silly lil fun fact i hope i haven't mentioned before!!!!!!! ]

[ * They like to collect rocks and sometimes eat them as a replacement to his vials when running out of paint. They're not as effective, but it helps to function well and long enough to be able to refill the vials!! he keeps them in a bag which.... yeah i forgot to add to the ref. so ig it's an optional design detail lol ]

[ * DRAGON INK DRAGON INK DRAGON INK i am so very normal about him (wrong) ]

[ * OOAAAUUUUGHGHHHH I FINALLY FINISHED HIM. YAYYY ]

[ * I love dragons, i love Ink, and i decided to smush them together into one perfect creature (ooouuuughhh he's so EHJFHKEHAIOWEDHJI) ]

[ * this was super fun to do, may make some doodles of him later ]

[starmonsterrr]

[ * I turned Ink into a dragon. I do not apologize. I love dragons (I'm actually one) and I also love Ink so um. ya. Here's this!!!!!!!! Took shorter than i expected. Also just realized...... year of the dragon.... hehe ]

[ * i accidentally kinda copied one of my past drawings for the pose..... augh........... but hey THIS STILL LOOKS GREAT ]

[ * I'm especially proud of the fur and the ribs and also the rendering ]

[ * will post the ref sheet soon ]

[ * Alt version, close-ups n stuff below the cut! ]

[ * Pr0sh1pp3rs/people who associate with them please do not interact with me. For this i am using the definition of pr0sh1pp1ng as problematic shipping. ]

[starswirly]

[ * Woe! Skeletons be upon ye! ]

[ * …is it really woe if I like skeletons??? ] [ * Anyhows! Skelesona, Inkoi, and Draconink (who is made by the astronomical @lazy-shapeshiofter!) ]

[ * Everyone’s favorite OG Ink is made by Comyet :] ]

did draconink paint his wings or did they just come colored like that

[ * I was originally going to say they came in colored like that but I had a moment of creative genius and I came up with smth better ]

[ * The wing insides originally were white, but as they felt empty and void-like to Draconink (which is scary to the poor guy), he decided to paint the wings in order to avoid that feel of emptiness. They're rainbow because it just looked much more visually interesting and eye-catching than a flat color or a gradient (even with multiple colors), plus more overwhelming but in a good way! ]

[ * Sometimes the paint gets washed off, and when that happens they usually just paint back the colors :) ]

[ * Maybe sometimes he does experiment with painting different things on, though! I think that would add some great room to mess with his design hehe ]

[starmonsterrr]

[ * psssssst hihi ]

[ * guess who I’m drawing? ]

[ * also does the full dragon have wings yes or no— ]

[ * :00000 YIPPEEE (yep the full dragon has wings!!! Though they can be optional ig) ]

[starmonsterrr]

does dragon ink paint with his tail

[ * Yeah!!! I've had the concept of paintbrush-looking/functioning tails spinning around in my brain for literal years and I've been putting it everywhere I could which, of course, includes the silly Draconink critter ]

[ * I feel like he would take advantage of this to paint on big canvases (and by big canvases I mean walls) and also as a bonus may use it to handle his magic (did I mention that the tail is pretty much their Broomie? i probably did) ]

[ * also very expressive of course hehe ]

[ * But anyways TLDR; Yep they paint with their tail!!!! ]

[starmonsterrr]

[ * Draconink post is gaining traction again ,, ? Apparently ???? Neat I think! ]

[starmonsterrr]

[starmonsterrr]

[ * ....*stares at Draconink* ]

[starmonsterrr]

[ * Gonna make Draconink be fluffy to the touch. I'm throwing logic out the window ]
