I Get To Explode About Griffeuxes!!

I cannot recommend this show enough btw

i found the weirdest yt channel like its not even really weird but im just???

 but anyway some girl has spend years animating a show with her furry ocs set in a western universe with hints of?? native american and aztec mythology as well as like bits of others but not really cause theres a rabbit who wears a fuckin sailor outfit and i cant follow the plot at all and theres a crane called ichabod bc subtle 

its fucking me up bc theres so much effort in it but its so haphazard 

You know when

I write best at 3 AM because at that time I know I no longer have dignity so rewriting it at a sane hour is 1000% better

1st draft or nothing usually though

How do people even draft

Ey look we got a new showrunner for the WoF show. Waltke is primarily known for working on shows like Trollhunters and whatnot as well as story development on Transformers One. Neato methinks

New adoptable for sale, here!

Solei Thornbright, Guild leader of the Mageis!

Deservedly smug because he’s quite talented in his field.

Under cut things!

He’s a hybrid, with a drake mother and raptor father and the only successful egg in the clutch. Giving him his long figure and odd toes. And back issues. He can walk on all fours, but he prefers to have his hands free.

His tattoos were primarily done by him, as well as his father along his back.

Thyne Duron! Currently my only drake example.

Under things,

He’s a very compact and short guy. Very dependent on water but that works with his job as head of the Thalimis Guild.

He doesn’t go out to jobs as much anymore as it’s now his job to watch over and guide.

As per lore: He has a shit ton of kids. 9 total, with 6 different drakes. He was a party kid who got hit by reality in his 50’s, and has started working hard to make up for it. Most of his kids are grown by now (and by proxy, hates him,) but he’s paying back for the time spent because he wants to. He was a dumbass and he’s making up for it.

He’s strictly settled away from any type of partner and prefers work anyways.

Intro

Hello!! I’m Wysteria, an artist and writer looking to get involved a bit more with the community.

I specialize in background art, however I‘ve recently taken up book cover art as well and have been having a blast doing that too and experimenting with styles! You may see some of those pop up here from time to time!!!

As for writing, I mainly write fantasy or historical fiction, both of which take up the majority of my time when I’m not drawing. I’m not sure how much writing I’ll post over here, but keep an eye out for that too!

Asks and interactions are always welcome! I don’t bite

It’s lovely to meet you all!
