finally got around to coloring Auros

these are my Skylander/Weirdlander fan Kuros c: Zero is a mixed Kuros while Auros is pure. I had this idea that Auros flew Zero’s egg to safety while the city was under attack -all other eggs had already been crushed, he had hidden Zero’s anyway because of its bright colors from the non-kuros genes-. He flew below the city down past the floating islands of Skylands to the very earth over a large dark colored desert nicknamed ā€˜The Chocolate Ocean’. There a giant serpent shot from the earth and attacked Auros biting off his wing and his arm -the other wounds he received trying to escape the city, the one on his face is a burn-.

After he killed the serpent he passed out from blood loss. A tribe of Mabu, never having seen or heard of a Kuros, dragged him into their village and kept him alive. He stayed in a coma for five weeks, all the while the egg was dormant until he woke up. Since then, Auros has lived peacefully with the Mabu tribe, working to repay them despite his disabilities. In secret he teaches Zero all about the Kuros while the Mabu speak of the Skylanders of old.

if you wanna know more I guess you can ask the characters themselves xD sorry if it’s poorly written. Been feeling a bit lazy here lately!

OOC : oooOOOOOH I DIDN’T SEE THIS BUT HOLY SHIT MY FAVORITE SHADE OF TEAL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH omg, this is a true beauty, such a bootyful babs and omg Zero is painfully adorable. Be still my heart ;u;

AND THE BACKSTORY, AAAAAAAAAH MY HEART AGAIN ;U;

OOC : Well well well, look what finally came in!

A week or so ago (or longer, my conception of time is poor as tiddies), I decided to look up possible new Springtrap phone cases as the sticker I had of him was fading off my phone. I ended up picking out a shirt, but still wanted to get a case. I figured, well why not look for skylander cases? That was when I suddenly remembered azul-j had her bootyful dragons all available too!

It was so, SO hard to pick one. I wanted so many, but Cynder felt like the best choice for me. I’m in love with how Cynder looks in this style, and to have a shirt of it…I WAS SO HYPED!

You can get the Cynder oneĀ HERE, and lawdy there’s a ton I really want to get. Damn you red bubble for being expsensive, I WANNA BUY ALL THE SHIRTS D: The Springtrap one is by a different artist, but found here!

Thank you so, SO much azul-j for making these available. I plan on getting more next month, Kurt wants Camo or Drobot ;u;Ā 

Also for the last picture… there’s this creepy lady that likes to walk around the apartments, and she passed as I was taking pictures. Sadly she didn’t look over at me, ah well still made a great picture šŸ˜€ no i can’t take selfies seriously

ā€œThe Queen’s Furyā€

I normally don’t post finished art here unless it’s canon fan art, but WeirdHyenas has been such a huge influence to me since before I started the Skylanders Dragons project. I had followed her blog for a little while but never really read into it. A couple months ago I decided to go all the way to the beginning and read her blog from there. Doing that alone had reawakened my love for Skylanders as it had died down since I went on my trip to England to visit my fiance. Not only that but her character development and the creation of the Kuros and their history inspired me to work on my own universe with my dragons like I should have done so long ago. They had just been sitting there with character bios and not being fleshed out at all. Now I’m doodling them more often and building up their personalities and it’s a lot of fun! Along with a few other artists Weird has had a huge influence on my art, though not shown through my art visually but the meaning behind it, the drive to continue to do what I do.
It was her work that inspired me to do the Skylander Dragon project, and to be honest I shouldn’t have let the comments on DA get to me so bad. What with my history with my family and deviantart I’m very easily discouraged if I receive comments like those. It makes it so hard for me to keep drawing the subjects I enjoy drawing. I’ll be happy to say I won’t let it stop me anymore, even if I don’t really feel like drawing much Skylander stuff at the moment, you can bet your butts I’ll do it again.

so here’s a little something that I hope you’ll like ;u;. I tried to keep it with the Skylander style I was doing for the t-shirts and I hope you like it! Keep on being awesome!

Big shout out to the lovely deviant artists who had my back, especially A7X-Sparx and WeirdHyenas.

OOC : *incoherent screeching noises*

OH MY GOD LOOK AT THIS, LOOK AT THIS PRETTINESS! FEUR LOOKS SO MAEEEEED ;U; Oh the noises I just made, good thing kurt’s listening to his music loud because I made some borderline demonic noises of glee. Omg, this is just so beautiful, I have a new background for my phone!

The comments, too, I feel you hon. I grew up with a mother who liked to tell people I drew ponies and kittens (literally) while I’d actually be drawing dragon like wolves fighting and taring each other’s throats out. She, to this day, will beĀ ā€˜so proud’ of the art I do, yet still tell me that sheĀ ā€˜wished I got a real job and kept art as a hobby’. This woman made me so self concious, poking fun at me to be more aware of what other people saw me and how I came off. Appearance was important to her, physically and personality wise, and welp that made me so scared of people and what they think of me. If it wasn’t for my husband, Kurt, his badass-I’ll-kick-your-teeth-in-if-you-talk-down-about-how-different-we-are irish family, and my amazing friends I’ve met online… I’d be living in constant fear underneath my desk. It’s because of everyone I’ve tried to beat my anxieties, even though I’m still very introverted and struggle with said anxieties.

I was doing the same thing, even though I thought I had beaten that part of me that was afraid to draw what I wanted to draw. I drew Skylanders despite the LoS toxicity towards it, a toxicity that I won’t lie I was a part of for a time, and thought I was strong for doing so. And yet… I let the fandom make me discouraged to draw anything LoS related or FD related. I was still letting them control how I felt, and I too feel shame for it. But at the same time, I’m so very happy to hear Azul that you aren’t letting them get to you anymore! I love your work no matter what you draw, it’s utterly beautiful, and I can’t wait to see more, and holy SHIT I feel so freakn honored you went through all that hard work to read the blog, AND draw fanart. I just… fuuuuuuuuuuUUUUH THE FEELS MAN, THE FEELS ;U;

Thank you, hon. Thank you so very, very much.I really cant wait to see more of your purdy purdy artsies ;u; Funny, how you would post this today, when I just so happened to have gotten a thing in the mail >u>

ā€œYou are my idolā€

I’ve always loved the Spyro franchise. Even in the worst of times -coughenterthedragonflycoughcough- and the best of times. My first video game ever was Spyro 2 Ripto’s Rage, which I play all the time even now. I’ve filled all my save files to over %100 on both the disc and digital download on my ps3. Needless to say I absolutely love the original Spyro. If I could I’d collect a bunch of the old figures and plushies but alas I don’t have the money for it. Even still I absolutely love the plushie I DO have and I’m more than happy to just play the games over and over.
Skylander Spyro -I refer to him affectionately as Skyro- has stolen a new place in my heart. Since the LoS series was created Spyro had gotten a whole new personality. While it wasn’t at all bad and it fit the world/atmosphere I kinda missed the spunky attitude of my favorite purple dragon. Even if I did miss it I could still just play the old games but ya know :p.

Anyway! When Skylanders was announced and I seen the trailers for it, just hearing Spyro’s voice and seeing him in action made me grin. He had his spunky, if not more badass personality back. Sure the game is easier and leans more towards young children but I just can’t help but love and enjoy the game. I love the character designs, the backgrounds, the colors, and the over all goofy and happy atmosphere of the games. They remind me a lot of the original three, just dumbed down a tad -which is alright!-.

I love the new Spyro cause he represents, to me, how the original Spyro was. Sure he’s not a main character but he’s still iconic and still there. You can play the games as just Spyro to MAKE it a Spyro game. That’s what I love about it. The power of choice. You can go through the game as one character, or all of them. It’s up to you.

I got a little personal there! Anyway, this image is a big representation of how I feel about these two loveable scalebutts. You can buy it on Redbubble here: http://www.redbubble.com/people/azulj/works/15623933-you-are-my-idol?p=t-shirt&ref=work_main_nav

OOC : And that’s what should matter ā¤ bootyful art yet again ;u;
