Some fantastical character and creature designs I’ve been helping @forrestdreamerxd create for their imaginative extraterrestrial species~! All of these creatures belong on the planet Draginis~.
Characters belong to @forrestdreamerxd while the art belongs to me~.
This one was a little bit more challenging to do than I thought it would be – and that was mostly in all the detail (RIP) ,as well as figuring out ways to adapt a Klimt-esque look to Howl. It was really tempting to put him in his pink jacket since it lends itself to rectangular form so well. However I just had to go and make things difficult for myself… because I love his transformed version!
This is another one of my rather old fics which I modified so that it features an orc! Enjoy!
There’s also gonna be a different story with another oc from this one – Magnus is going to be in one of the stories on my writing list!

It wasn’t how he had imagined his saturday evening would end. Halvar sat on his bed, his back pressed against the wall and he tried to remember exactly how Y/N sounded like in the dream he just woken up from, while putting more pressure on his cock as he jerked off. He was alone at home, and fell asleep while reading earlier, after Y/N and Magnus went to a party.
Since Magnus introduced her as their new roommate five months ago, Halvar couldn’t shake her off his thoughts. She was smart, funny, polite and cute on top of everything. He couldn’t help counting her eye lashes when the three of them sat in the kitchen and chatted, or noticing the tiny heart-shaped tattoo on her hip that he spotted when she reached to a high shelf and her shirt drove up. Oh how he wanted to put his mouth on that little heart and feel her warm skin, taste it.
Fifteen-year-old Alys is not a witch. But that doesn’t matter–the villagers think she is and have staked her out on a hillside as a sacrifice to the local dragon.
It’s late, it’s cold, and it’s raining, and Alys can think of only one thing–revenge. But first she’s got to escape, and even if she does, how can one girl possibly take on an entire town alone?
Then the dragon arrives–a dragon that could quite possibly be the perfect ally… . https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/372807.Dragon_s_Bait
********************************************
Finally I have found a book with a dragon I really like.
Although it’s a YA fantasy, and probably one that’s geared at an even younger audience than many of the contemporary YA books, it’s an absolute delight to read even for adults.
The themes of this book are revenge and responsibility and the wonderful thing is that the author doesn’t spell out every message hidden in this little gem of a book. Like the heroine, the readers have to come to their own conclusions.
Neither the heroine nor the dragon are morally pure to begin with nor are they by the end of the book. But both are changed by each other’s company.
The dragon in this book can change into (a very handsome) human form, so the monstrous aspect of the dragon is secondary. What makes him alien is his personality. He doesn’t adhere to human morality and his motivation is mysterious at best. His character really conveys a feeling that dragons are truly otherworldly creatures.
The interactions between the heroine and the dragon are delightful. There is bickering, there is jealousy and there is romance but it is very subtle.
Furthermore the book avoids all my personal YA pet peeves: no neverending self-indulgent introspection of the heroine, no over explaining of everybody’s motivations, no first person narrator and no fucking love triangle.
My only criticism: It’s too short. Otherwise it’s perfect.
