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 one 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; 

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 😀 no i can’t take selfies seriously

“The Queen’s Fury”

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 be ‘so proud’ of the art I do, yet still tell me that she ‘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>
