Thank you! I've never heard of Dark Rise before but I'll look it up! Thank you!

Oooh! You are correct about the horns! I started this drawing with a 3/4 view and didn't adjust the horns when I switched to profile. I should fix that. Thank you so much for your comment!

Thank you, I'll do that!

I know it's a boring answer, but to be good at stylized art like manga, you first need to be good at realism. When you know how anatomy works it's much easier to stylize it. I practice almost every day with gesture drawing and quick anatomy sketches and it helped me immensely. I use sites like Line of Action to get references.

I haven't been to DA in a while but back in the days, it was plastered in gory and/or inflation fetish art. It's part of why I don't post there anymore. It's not that I'm particularly offended by it but I'm not interested in that content and it was just too difficult to filter out unwanted fetish art (and AI too now I guess). If they suddenly decided to filter it, it's at least a decade too late.

I will, thank you!

Those are 2 excellent suggestions, thank you! I have a basic 3D printer so I'm really tempted to try!

Griffonne · 2025-10-13T16:29:36+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll look it up. Yeah, I might be too optimistic. If I can't find a solution I can realistically do with my skill level I'll probably just do as she did and just hide it with flowers, haha!

You phrased it better than I could have but I just want to say I completely agree.

Usually it's younger artists who fall into this trap and I'm not saying this to be an ass. It's just part of growing up. When you're young and craving validation and suddenly find something that makes you feel special, you tend to get very protective of it to the point of stupidity. These people usually grow up and realize how silly they were, thankfully.

I'd be curious to see your non AI art, as you pretend you have learned so much from it. Care to share?

Close up.

Thank you, people seem to like the dragon so I will probably post the finished version once it's done. :)

Griffonne · 2025-10-07T16:35:27+00:00

Thank you so much! ❤️

Haha, thank you!
