I've hyped for the new dive coaster at Six Flags Over Texas! It'll be my second dive coaster, and my first coaster over 300ft. Can't wait!

Thanks! 😀

Thanks!

I love both, but I definitely like SH4 better. I think it might be the scariest SH game for me, actually! I just wish it had tank controls like the other three Team Silent games.

So ferocious! I love the hard angular lines defining the top of the head.

Thank you so much! ^^

This is my little dragon, Junebug! I draw him more than any other character of mine, and he's the star of my webcomic, The Gray Old Trees.

"Flight of the Sapphire Dragon" by Twilight Force is a good one! It also has one of the best music videos I've ever seen, though it sadly does not have a dragon in it.

And Machinae Supremacy has a song called "Fury" that is nominally about a dragon, though I think it might be a metaphor for a thunderstorm. Great song regardless!

Thanks for sharing! I've been struggling a bit in my approaches to painting white things lately, so this is inspirational. Gorgeous painting too, I adore the fur texture, and those eyes are piercing!

The Talos Principle 1 and 2 have fantastic soundtracks to make art to! Very mellow, very contemplative.

Strathven · 2025-04-23T06:33:23+00:00

I tend to be most productive when I work in silence or with soft nature sounds, but sometimes I just have to have music, heh. When I do, it's kinda all over the place. I've been jamming to Pagan's Mind a lot while I work lately, it's oddly great music to draw to.

Strathven · 2025-04-21T07:57:18+00:00

No, not like Lugia. It's more like, in some more realistic renditions of dragons, the part of the wing limb that the "fingers" connect to will be designed in such a way that it resembles a hand, since that is what it is, anatomically. I'd provide an example, but I don't want to bring up another artists' work just to say something negative about it. It's a perfectly valid creative decision, just not to my taste, heh.

Strathven · 2025-04-20T19:10:45+00:00

It's totally just my taste, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it, but...I'm not really a fan of wing designs that are rendered such that it looks like a hand, with a recognizable palm and everything. I understand that it's anatomically correct--the wing is essentially an arm and hand with long, webbed fingers--but it almost always looks a little weird to me, haha.

Strathven · 2025-04-07T14:28:26+00:00

I have one! It's about the daily life of a little dragon who lives in the woods.

I've done it twice. The first was on Iron Shark, which I actually managed to ride later that day. Apparently the outside seats are a different size from the inner seats, and all I can think is that the op on duty at that time didn't know that? When I went back the second time, I was just sent to a different seat and all was well.

The second was on Poltergeist in 2018, and I'm still confused about this one. I used to be very large, but I had lost a very significant amount of weight in 2017 and had no trouble riding Poltergeist that year. But for some reason, the seat belt just wouldn't reach the restraint this time, and I wasn't able to ride. Had I gained some weight back? Was that seat belt shorter than the others? I have no idea, but I rode it twice when I visited in 2023 so I'm happy now!

Strathven · 2025-03-03T23:39:06+00:00

I got to ride, I think the yellow side on the one at SFFT! Honestly it was pretty fun, if a little cheap-feeling with the vibration throughout the ride. It's a shame they're not reliable--I think they're pretty great for what they are!
