Summer Update

2 min read
Hey guys :)

Hope everything is going good for you all. Just letting you know what's going on artistically as of late. Well my laptop lost all my old files meaning I lost Dark Dealings and I don't think I have it in me to re-write it now, maybe some day but not now. Funny thing is Elem, Jet and Ace's original story was never finished either XD 
Anyway this does free me up to write a story I had in mind for a while, one where I pretty much make up different dragons and humans based on different environments, sand, sea, sky, forest, tropics, grassland, swamps, city, cave, and volcano. For the most part I'll include some differences between male and female dragons, expect drawings of the various 'species' soon..ish. As for the story I don't know when it will be done but I'll keep you updated, may put a preview up in a journal sometime :)

That's all for now all, I hope things are going well for you and if not may things look up soon.

There has been no progress on editing yet,

*sob story/vent start*
and this semester has done it's best to break me down multiple times. Long story short things got really dark and depressing but are a little better now and I may have to change my career path but I have made a new bond with one of my professors...all of them I think though him, since I kind of broke down in front of him and talked about how hard I am on myself and that I thought about myself as a failure and had a bunch of suicidal thoughts in the past and he helped me with that a little and told me the bio department will support me in anything I do and help with letters or recommendation and about how he knows I'm a hard worker and yeah. I felt better but there was a time where I did noting because it's just hard to be motivated without a career path. But I did go to the career center on campus and will work on this thing this weekend, basically I don't feel better better but I'm getting there.
*Sob story/vent end*

Anyway, I should be back up to doing stuff soon, this semester is almost over, I feel so bad for leaving you guys like this. But, I will put some stuff up today, I did my first cosplay so pictures of that will come, and maybe some drawings in the future, and will get back to work on the story. Again so sorry to keep you guys waiting on the story, I'll get to it I promise :)

Hope things are going well for you all, and if not may they get better soon!

Spring Break.

1 min read
Hey guys, long time no see, this semester has been crazy, 18 hours and all so that explains my disappearance. But it's spring break now so hopefully I'll be able to get a few things done and finish editing Dark Dealings so I can get it up here again. Not much else to say but it's so nice to have a break.
Hope you guys are all well as always and if not may things turn around for you soon :D

Hey guys, sorry about my recent delay in every other day updates on DD, I had a bad case of the flu for a few days, needed to get an IV so I would stay hydrated and not pass out like the last time I was that bad :p I was good for a few days but it came back for a day. After that I lost my wi-fi at home due to the crazy winter storm and damage to the phone line. It's back but as soon as we got it fixed I needed to pack for school. It's going to be a crazy semester, 18 hours :p We'll see if I stay sane, most likely I won't but hey should make for a fun next art work right? Speaking of, I need to start drawing again, I'll see what I can do, after all I only have part one of a four part dragon thing done lol. Well anyway, thanks for being patient with me, glad to be back on :)
Hope things are well for you guys, and if not as always may they get better soon.

It's done!!!!!

5 min read
Dark Dealings, part two of Before Your Eyes is done! Well not done done, it needs to be edited for spelling and consistency and all that but the first draft is done baby! In all, 23 chapters, which may change, 239 pages Microsoft word, single space, size 11 Sage Script, 102,375 words. :) I'm proud of this baby already, I got so much work done today since today is the first day of Thanksgiving break and there was a 4 hour car ride, I don't do well driving 10 minutes let alone 4 hours so my parents come pick me up. It feels great to have this done and I am looking forward to sprucing it up and letting you all read it! If you haven't read BYE yet or have and haven't't finished here is where it starts: work-of-dragons.deviantart.com…  


Here! Have a little snipit!

    Satisfied with that answer Liz picked up a saber. Going up to a dummy she silicide downward on each of its shoulders. The cuts were clean but she followed up with a rather sloppy stab with the blade, again not looking like she knew how to handle the weapon. “Good choice, that was made from the horns of an orc.” Thadious said happily, his suspicions decreased for now and I hoped Ace and I would keep it that way.  Ace was quick to choose his weapon and something about it bothered me right away.

        It was a long bone white two handed sword with a fiery red handle. He looked at it with wide eyes and swung it once before moving to the dummies stabbing it into his target with ease letting the blade do all the work. “Ah very good eye young one. That is one of the best weapons we have and one of the rarest. This blade was made from the bones of a dragon.” My heart leapt as my eyes turned to him, something felt wrong about this, Ace was my friend but the fact a tiger was using the bones of a dragon as a weapon felt wrong.

        A part of my mind cried out to me to demand to have him put it back but I controlled myself. I felt eyes on me and looked up to see Thadious smiling at me snobby. “Well Sam, you the last one but there are plenty to choose from.” I sighed. “I don’t know, I’ve never really thought of using a weapon, it kinda feels more normal to use hand to hand.” “Ah so you want some sort of glove then.” Thadious said going over to the end of the table and picking up a few gloves and handing them back to me. “Here try them on.”

        I took the gloves and observed them a moment before putting them on. They were gauntlets that went half way to my wrists and though they looked like they should have been made from mettle they were made from a soft leather that reminded me of buckskin but was thicker and stronger. On the hand were two layers of spikes, the first half way up the fingers and the second on the knuckles. The ones on the knees were curved like a claw and the ones on the fingers were spikes like a fang. In fact all the spikes looked somewhat like fangs. I put the gloves on and made a fist, the curved spikes on my knuckles and the pointed on the flat of my first.

        With a smirk I went over to a dummy and punched digging in with the rounded spikes. Next I moved back and swung with my fist parallel to the dummy and down its body digging in with the curved spines and dragging them down the dummy. I smiled, it felt just like using my claws in dragon form with a nice twist. “Looks like I found my weapon.” I said looking back to the others. “Yes, the Tiger Fang Gauntlet, perhaps as rare as the dragon blade.” It really was my weapon, if Ace was going to have a weapon from a dragon I was going to use a weapon made from a tiger as my own claws.

        “I’m doing this because I want the dragon to have died for a good cause, maybe you should do the same.” Ace thought to me angrily as I walked over to the group. I could tell, he wanted that to be his motive but there was much more behind it, he felt the same way but wouldn’t admit it. “At least I don’t hide my motives. Yeah it’s a good reason to use it, but why not use your born rival as your weapon? And if we both have each other’s, then were on even ground.” Both Ace and I tried to keep our faces cool and the conversation just between us but I felt first Jet then the others on the fringes of my mind. Closing my mind I pushed them all away as Thadious, Dominic and Nara waved us all together.


Enjoy, I hope all of you are doing well, have a Happy Thanksgiving guys! Hope you are all doing well if not may things get better for you soon!
