Posted March 12, 2017 Woah, nice colour contrast! Always a sucker for orange and blue. And about Spuma, while he doesn't have a description yet, the basic gist is that he's a captured and shackled Bolt used as a generator by his captors as they study him and work to figure out how to harness electricity with more practical inanimate objects. The dragon's a bit of a guinea pig. Share this post Link to post

Posted May 31, 2017 Almost three months since this was requested, oops no border here because ultimate legendary and everything blahblahblah if you have a bright monitor, here's the colors altered 'more to my intentions' (sorry but I draw these on a dull laptop, so they can be quite over-saturated) Welp I wandered off and completely forgot I requested this. I'm so glad I came back to see it, it's GORGEOUS. <3333 Thank you so much! Share this post Link to post
Posted May 31, 2017 Do you have DeviantArt or any other page where you upload all your gorgeous art? I wanna stalk ♥ *3* Share this post Link to post
Posted June 16, 2017 oops So I've closed request slots because I want to get used to doing commissions I do plan on drawing the bolt dragon in the first slot eventually, but probably as something to test out new software with I finally thought up a pose I actually liked even though it's been... 3 months? only 3? I thought it had been like, 6 I've drawn some of my friend's flight rising characters as practice in different styles and atmospheres maybe I'm going to call this one finished at the moment even though I think I've missed a few details I forgot to put in. I'll probably edit them in later when I manage to get on the other computer (I can already see that I forgot that I changed the intensity of the light that's reflecting onto something, too. Some skulls also need thickening so they're not just paper crafts haha) These were both drawn on a brighter, less colorblind monitor so if your display is dull like mine they won't be too visible lol If you want my DA it's krastei.deviantart.com but I can almost guarantee that this thread will be more up to date than my deviantart account is Also today I learned that the snipping tool alters the colors of whatever it takes a screenshot of if you save it. It's very slight but still visible. Thanks a lot guys Share this post Link to post
Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) ayy thanks here have a picture of dragon I saw in a dream Was definitely inspired by a new fr gene that came out though my brain probably just scooped a skydancer and a fae up and processed it into this tbh and this- was meant to be the tangled wood but I drew everything wrong™ and now there's this There's a few reflections I need to fix/blur when I get to em but looking at this any longer hurts rn lmao These aren't quite finished but I'm not sure when i'll get back to working on them Edited October 2, 2017 by kastrex updated first derg with new Share this post Link to post
Posted January 22, 2018 So I'm making an art archive of all the stuff I've published on the internet in this fr dragon's description, pretty much everything that isn't posted here is on there except for the badges I've made such as these, which can be located here (disclaimer that my rights to use these specific badges are only for art example showcases) Moving the archive to this thread shows that it gets really buggy so I won't be doing that ANYHOW more art- A friend's flight rising progen: a drawing of marisa I don't want to finish because i feel weird about the style I chose: yeah sweet dreams tonight A comet rider adopt I may or may not be doing despite it actually blocking up the adop shop's art list butterfly variant A planet born from a spire: and maybe the luminosity layer mode incarnate thanks forrr everything Share this post Link to post

Posted November 23, 2018 it's almost been a year since i posted something? dang anyhow I dug up a few things I did I made plenty of new badges, so click here to see all the 100x100 art I've done (I update it kinda regularly too) first thing's first here are the wax seals/banners i drew for each fr flight note that the exalt pillar banners are fanart of the official things and not stuff i designed myself lol anyway i forgot about this really quickly after idrew it, whoops I think I made this with the intention of it being a speedpaint or something but at the time I was actually planning on making a choose-your-own-adventure esque thing hosted by fr dragon descriptions you would start out in a photography club with a fae and a skydancer who were friends with each other and then it would be revealed that the fae was a robotic spy drone thing and the skydancer was also a spy and the fae was actually being controlled by the skydancer's warlord enemy so technically it was him all along and all this overdramatic garbage god it's amazing that i still remember this speaking of forgotten things I was really surprised when i found this in my computer it was going to be a painting of the shadowbinder looking at the trickmurk circus/night of the nocturne celebration (honestly i can't remember which one it was) i actually plan on finishing this but that won't be for a while so I'll post it anyway also i drew marisa again this one's fanart of mokou's timeout card (i think) also I saved some progress screencaps i took which kinda act like steps here (image is a bit too long to post straight up and recently i actually decided to finish the awkwardly disproportionate painting i drew of her earlier: welp so much for 'fixing' it Share this post Link to post

I know you have stopped doing them but idk worth a shot? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ not much point requesting anymore since I plan on avoiding doing requests on this thread anyway I found this painting that I honestly forgot about the whole time, it was something I did for a flight rising event back in 2017 so was this, I can't remember if I showed that here already though also these are both fanart of fr familiars also whoops I ended up finishing this earlier than I said- and here's more recent stuff- some harp dragon I daydreamed up around a year ago or something I found the flatcolors still on my computer so I decided to finish it edit: oops, might need to zoom in to see this properly flandre scarlet except this started out as a single shoe I wanted to draw from profile actually it might need to be sized down i don't even know Edited January 16, 2019 by kastrex Share this post Link to post
Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) Whoa, these are all amazing. I LOVE your colors and how bright and shiny they are. Incredible!!! @kastrex Ok I really gotta know, what program and brushes/tools do you use? These are stunning. I have no idea how you manage to get such beautiful saturated and smooth colors like that. 🤩 Edited January 18, 2019 by hazeh Share this post Link to post
Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) @hazeh ayyy thanks I've always used sai paint tool because its the only thing my laptop hardware will accept. It's also got a mean stabilizer Other popular programs have way more tools, but my laptop can't handle them Also my laptop's screen is really dark so the colors have to be really saturated for me to be able to see them properly Anyway I make the base colors of whatever I'm drawing opaque and then clip details onto it. Most of my stuff's done with the circle brush, but sometimes I find particle effects in my brush folder to use The luminosity layer mode is good to use for shine/glow/touching things up, but it's really sensitive to brush opacity I like using this brush for wispy-ish clouds, I have no idea where it comes from but I can try linking the bitmap texture file or whatever it is Sai's noise brush is also ok for tree leaves --- anyway, somebody asked how I drew the crystals on my most recent painting so I broke the layers down and uploaded this tutorial to DA probably gonna need to zoom in on this or right click ->open image in a new tab Edited January 18, 2019 by kastrex Share this post Link to post
Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) that's it, I'm forcing a page break. there's too many large images on this one already the next set of art is on page 5 Edited March 3, 2019 by kastrex Share this post Link to post
