Lurk, lurk.

Hey guys,

I thought I'd drop in and say hi. Admittedly, I'm thinking about doing giveaways and such around class assignments. Would anyone be interested, if I decided to do so?

[Yakima]

maybe....

[Kitsuneko]

Hi! And yes, yes I would. Hee...

[StarFyre]

Why hello thar, Sil! I'm still just as ocd collectionist as always =P Though I'm pretty sure my art's improved from what you remember. \o/ I run a site now, too *ridiculous pose, grin*

[Shard]

ermegrd!!

Yes, I'd definitely be interested.


*dangles shiny* come on out from under there, you little rascal.

[Yakima]

And I sit here feeling slightly special cause I got to talk to her in chat...mwahaha! Of course, I thought she was StarFyre at first cause no one but starfyre and I use the chat but yeah...hehee

[StarFyre]

Oh shush you =P Just cause I have my comp muted and am watching Science channel shows... *sticks tongue out*

[SilverMidnight]

I talked to Yakima about an idea or two! I'm going to do some giveaways/easy stories, maybe. I'm usually pretty busy, though - which isn't necessarily too bad at this time during the semester. Finally ended up going back to school for art; and I need art to do other than for class/a commission I'm somewhat behind on.

So, if I did giveaways, what would people like to see?

I discussed with Yakima some of my old species, and perhaps a redo of some of the wraith dragons like Kaisukieth.

[Shard]

I've still got characters that were waiting for the "fallen" giveaway >_>

[Yakima]

WRAITH DRAGONSSSSS!

*goes back to burying herself in WordPress mumble-jumble*

[SilverMidnight]

Jog my memory, please? It's been... a number of years. What is the "Fallen" giveaway?

[Shard]

Well, I have a character or two that were done specifically for themes that RoF had been doing (not sure if it was even here on this forum? I think so, early on?) such as 'change of season/winter' and 'fallen from grace' and the like. It was a writing challenge, certain word count, theme, etc. No idea what the dragons were going to be about though.

Kind of like Trek who was a 'maximum word count' one that I went overboard with the long words, to get his.

I remember, more or less, what the ice dragons looked like - and one of the parents. Though I'm pretty sure that page is long gone. The sire of the clutch that I was going to do was bonded to... Juinyiir, I think was his bondmate's name. He was the Hathian-blooded Flurry White, and a handsome boy with feathered wings. The mother might've been from Unyko, and was an icy dragoness. I don't remember either dragon's name, unfortunately. And I imagine TyGryph is long gone? So I probably can't retrieve the father's image, at least - though I might go and draw him myself. He was quite pretty.

As for the Fallen from Grace, I don't remember what the image was for that. Or if it was the same image or not. I can probably whip something up, though, if people are interested.

[Shard]

Ty's around, though about as lurky as you

A lot of the old geocities pages are still around in the form of oocities and reocities, some of the stuff I've dug up for lineages has been there.

[SilverMidnight]

Koiri Syaess is the father's name. Luckily, I found the template, even though not him himself, from one of your dragons. I don't remember the mom, though.

[SilverMidnight]

Apparently the "Fall to Evil" had to do with bladed wings. That I can take care of, even though artdragon appears to be down. I'll whip something up. I have sketches for the other dragons done, just need to finish the wings and do the inking. These guys have complicated wings.

[Shard]

Woo! Wow, awesome!

[SilverMidnight]

I'm still here!

I have the sketches, but haven't scanned them yet. Health (?) decided to kick my butt the past weekend, so I've been laying around like a slug. Trying to get evened back out - I'll see if I remember to scan a few tomorrow after printmaking.

[aireona93]

Man... I would really love to see some of your old species! I always loved the stuff that you came up with, and regretfully, I only have one or two of your dragons.

[TyGryph]

Hi Sil! I was just thinking about you. I'm glad you surfaced.
Yes, I'm pretty lurky and irregular abiut my visits.
I still need to get Ryslen back up. >. <

[Yakima]

Ty, I was going through my falas records yesterday and I swear you own about half the dragons ever hatched in the 10th Pass. Heehee

[SilverMidnight]

Hi Ty! Long time no see. And I hope you at least have some good memories of me.

As for me - I have the sketches of the dragons, but RL ate me again. @_@ And I'm going to be busy this summer. Teaching little kids art, and doing an art grant project through the uni, in addition to another job. Hopefully I'll get them done sometime.

[Dray]

Heya, Sil! It's nice to see you posting back. What kind of classes are you in these days?

[SilverMidnight]

Oh, I eventually decided to go back for art after letting my skills stagnate for years. I'm getting a lot better, and it looks like I'll have a relatively decent chance to go pro after I graduate; but it means a lot of hard work. Including marketing myself, and getting my portfolio together with something other than homework. Not to mention, working on digital.

I graduate next Spring, and am probably going to Italy this fall. 0_o I want to work on my skills drawing buildings and perspective, while there. Though I'd still like to work with other things.

Like dragons.

If anyone wants to see, this has some more recent stuff from school:

[Dray]

That sounds absolutely amazing. I hope you go, that would be a fabulous way to spend an autumn.

Any kinda dragons you're looking to work on? (I'm working with StarFyre, Yakima and JKatkina on attempting to get the Nexus refurbished with a website and some good information flow for anybody else returning or new, but I'm all ears for a new set of dragons!)

[JKatkina]

Oh hey, it's a Sil! Long time no see. Good to have you around again.

[SilverMidnight]

Thank you much, Jkat!

And Dray - I'm thinking about doing something more "realistic". I always liked to work on trying to make my dragons plausible, so I'd like to work a little bit with that. Lately I've also been working with the big, scaley dragons; but that has to do with a character I play on a MUSH when I find the time for her. Just because she's a dragon and I like her.

I imagine if I did a new set, should I find the time (I'm notoriously bad on projects outside of school these days), I'd probably want to do something avian, "reptilian", and then mammalian. As far as inspiration.

Recent dragon:

[Yakima]

FRILLY!!!!!

[JKatkina]

Oh, I do like the D&D-style aesthetic. So epic.

[Dray]

I quite like the scale style on her, actually. I saw the reference image for her/background on parentage... always a fun bet with what the heck is that, red/gold? I've gotta know what plotline developed that combo!
