Lost Dragon's Art Feed Art made by Lost Dragon featuring dragons, hellcats, & giant rats. They live in a dragon burrow set inside tremendous columnar basalt walls. The odd fan art may show up too.
Lost Dragon Here's some older art I've maybe uploaded before but forgot to include a tag so let's do it again. I have a lot of unhinged ideas when I watch anime - like Devilman Crybaby x Umamusume x my OC. There's so much I never show because I get it to a sketch & am like "No this is too much" #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon I did a sketch in Krita. Krita's pretty good. There's some stuff I miss from Clip. My PC's still on Linux so I may stick this on my iPad & play with it in Clip there. Anyway, this is the latest iteration of Ella the hellcat, a caravan driver from the Tower in the Sandbox. WIP #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon I've been playing with real media for a month, studying other artists, learning, sucking at it, etc. I went back to digital to doodle Lost Dragon. I'm able to fit all his elements in now - glasses, goatee, busted horn, mane.. Why mad: I rolled dice & they told me "angry expression" #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon I made a Loona box. You can do this at home - get Mod Podge, a box, scissors, pictures, & foam brushes. Use your own art & you can sell them. A lot of the old crafting supplies get overlooked because people think of them as “old” but you can make anything cool again. #loona #art #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon I used to draw in pencil (sometimes I still do). First one was from a comic I didn’t finish. Oops. The obligatory Maxx fan art may ID me as a GenX. And then yes, Lost once had an anthropomorphic form. Sometimes I still use it. The first 3 are 12-15 years old. Bonus: art table. #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon Oh, I've been doing things the hard way - AGAIN. I'd always ignored vector line art tools because I hate moving points. I didn't realize you could convert a raster layer to a vector layer & then use the "correct line" tool to manipulate line weights SO EASILY (this is in CS Paint). #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon A height lineup for a comic I'm working on. @razzek.bsky.social * Changing style to one that won't take me 1000 years to draw. * Setup: Dragons, hellcats, & wild-rats in a post-industrialist wild-magic setting drama meant for YA+ * There will be full alt text for every page. #lostart_8xup WIP
Lost Dragon Lost found the Umamusume game. Lost is buying the merch. Lost is the reason I eat ramen for dinner. I blame all of Japan - all 123 million people plus their horses - & especially my wife & her friend who introduced me to this. Now I will never know peace. I will only know problems #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon Sorry Loona fans, this isn't the band. I'm getting too much backlog so I started going back to finish things up WIPs. So here's grumpy goth dog in a coloring method I'll never do again lol. Do I care about any other character - no. Sorry. Well, maybe the bee. #lostart_8xup #loona #helluvaboss
Lost Dragon Lost be a cartoon please. Thank you. #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon I forget how to draw but Lost doesn't so I gave the pencil to him & he wanted to make fan art at 4AM. Sorry, I can't control the dragon. Anyway, here's a WIP of Madoka Magica fan art. It's a magical girl anime. This character's name is Mami - she's ahead of her peers. WIP WIP W.. #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon I gave the pencil to Lost so he's drawin' himself. Ya know what he can just keep going, he's not bad. Rough sketch - around 1 hour. WIP #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon In 2024 I drew this for @theianator.bsky.social for fun but I didn't have a tag then & I can't find my post now so.. So.. This is really 2024 art I'm reposting in 2025. 😅 I think I'd like to revisit this now that I see how everyone else draws kobolds. #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon Who's that Pokémon? Is it Gengar? No... I'll finish this one later. The wobbly lines are because I went ham with the warp tool after noticing Loona is actually bottom heavy & flat chested - I think? Some frames say yes, others say no. I always try to pick out hip bones. WIP WIP #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon This meme could be WIP vs. final but I did beginner vs. intermediate. It's always hard to post art but it's very hard when you just started & each time you post the next one in line is somebody's 60 hour masterpiece. No, it's not a competition but the feels remain Give beginners ❤️s #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon I'm home sick so I added more Loona to my art folder. I remembered I promised to use reference going forward so now she's sorta on-model. It's a lot faster to draw fan art with ref. Collar note: a cylinder in perspective never makes a football (will never have pointy ends). Sketch #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon Here's a couple sketch pages too, including the sketch of Loona before I inked & colored. Since some of the pages were really messy I pasted multiples together into one. It's still messy. Some people post sketches that look like cleaned up line art. I am not one of those people. #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon The internet was down all day - AGAIN. The rumor I heard is that workers cut the same cable (AGAIN). Ahem. I am a professional and I used my time productively to express my opinions in interpretive imprecation (and fan art). #helluvaboss #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon I didn't have any internet all day due to some construction mistake. It even took out all the cell towers. Sheesh. Lost didn't care, so I followed him around & sketched. He took me over to the burrow walls. It's all columnar basalt & for whatever reason wild etherium won't cross it. #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon Oh yeah, one time I got into digital sculpting. I think I ran out of trial software and gave up because money. I like the ears. I didn't know what to do for eyes so I went for an ancient Greek statue look. Old art, 2016. I should try it again but ZBrush is so unwieldy for my use. #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon I did a year drawing in an outlined cartoon look let's move to a different style & see what it's like. I tried a classic colored pencil technique - color in tiny circles & use layers. My sister is far better at this. The goal was just to make it look like a natural physical media. #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon The OC got tired of waiting. I just realized it was Feb. & I'd done zero art this year. Oops. I'm surprised I don't see more vent art. Y'all holding back? It beats a doomscroll. Anyhow, back to weekend art for me, the neat creature I live with says so. Bonus painting I won't fini. #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon A study. I picked up an old WIP & applied new knowledge. I tried to use more economy of brush stroke than usual. It is possible to use few brush strokes to create great volume if you know how. I don't. I just have an idea of it. Still a WIP (maybe - or I may just move on again). #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon This art is 2018(ish) era. I concentrated on my Lost Dragon OC later but I can always return to other things. I save all my old art in case I want to look at something & revisit it later. Keep your old art even if you don't like it anymore. #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon I’ve had this adage on my OC’s earrings for 6 months and today I got the fortune in a cookie. 🥠 It’s even in my art tag. #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon (Re-uploads for the tag) This year I kept iterating Lost until I came up with some elements that I liked. Now I'm zeroing in on a design I'll keep. (For real this time?) Anyway, these are some of the prototypes of Lost Dragon. I often like my sketches better than my finished art. #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon One more for the tag. Oh in the last one I posted a picture of my screen. Welp - that’s what I get for doing this for my phone. Woops. Well I can’t edit posts so I’ll uh.. Ok I’ll post a color version of it then. #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon Let’s do another post and get our new art tag filled up. I watched a video and did hand studies based on what I saw. This is how far I got. I should sit down and draw like 100 hands. Hmm. #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon Here’s a bunch of different revisions of Lost Dragon. I draw the same OC a lot. The one on the left is most recent and the others were earlier. His design is often in flux. I put him in a helmet when I’m having a day. Haha. I’m reposting these so I can get them in my tag. #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon These are all pretty recent - within the last 6 months (2024). I've been drawing on & off a long time but lately it's more on that off. Thanks ADHD med - it helped a LOT. Lost sings some Grrrvana. Lost is an old dragon here. Lost is a soldier? I was learning how to draw hands. #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon This is fairly recent (in the last 3 months). It's all feet studies - with added dragon toes. I was learning how to draw feet. I can now but I still have to refer back a lot, which I guess is normal but some people know the construction so well they get it about right from memory. #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon Let's post some (old) art and get it into the right tag. I'll be doing this for a while on and off. The first and third one are probably 15-20 years old. The other two are more like 5-7. #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon Get in the Silver Teiring, Ella. Get in or Lost will. Honestly I just wondered what it'd look like if I took Ella & mashed her with design language from an anime about math & catgirls. I hated it then I liked it -> so that means we have it sit here and age like wine (or milk). #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon The dragon story I want doesn't exist so I'll do my own. Let's describe Lost & Ella's relationship in one sketch. If anyone else called him that she'd turn them into a rug. I bet he rests his head on top of hers too. Loose sketches for a while - I'm just recording ideas. WIP #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon As I'm posting fan art I might as well post the other fan I did. Here's one of The Maxx I did ages & ages ago. I should do a new one of him too. My old art tends to lack perspective as I was drawing shape not form - so you get a lot of fronts & sides. That's ok. That's how we start. #lostart_8xup
Lost Dragon @mlemnlel.bsky.social wanted to see my Tekkonkinkreet fan art. Tekkonkinkreet is an anime/manga about surviving on the edge of society. The word is a mash of "technical concrete" or what we'd probably call reinforced concrete in the US. It's been years - I should do a new fan art. #lostart_8xup
