Welcome to Wam Bam Island! ๐บ๐๐๏ธ
Honestly not the happiest with this one, the shading on the mountains is pretty lackluster and the whole thing feels pretty empty, I think it would've helped if I added a character, but I did not feel like doing that
This is my last Borderlands piece for now, and I'll be moving into making some fanart for some of the people I follow on DeviantArt. I have a whole list of people's OCs I wanna draw at some point, its gonna be difficult choosing which ones to do because they're all so cooooooooooooool

I wasn't a huge fan of Winter's character up until I reread book 7, I always thought he was an absolute insufferable prick for really stupid reasons, but looking back he has a completely justifiable reason for his hatred of NightWings outside of his IceWing culture
I so desperately want more of Hailstorm, even just a Winglet book of his life back in the Ice Palace exploring his identity crisis and choosing between the life that was forced upon him versus the life where he was truly happy and had real friends would be incredible. There's a Hailstorm/Pyrite MAP on YouTube called Once Upon a December and its SO WELL MADE AND I LOVE IT SO FRICKIN MUCH and its pretty much exactly what I wanna see from a Hailstorm POV book and here's a link to it just watch it - https://youtu.be/_duSPWJzxVk
This project was pretty straightforward; I didn't wanna do a super crazy background like my Moon fanart, so I just went with the aurora borealis and some delicious rim lighting (the aurora can go fuck itself for being so hard to draw traditionally, it kinda looks like shit ikik). I feel like I'm getting a better grasp on how to do color and pick good looking color schemes. Before I would only do complimentary and try to do as much contrast as possible, but I've learned that analogous color schemes look SOOOO GOOD and I can't believe I've done so few projects where I go for harmony instead of contrast
I also feel like I'm getting better at dragon poses and making them more dynamic, this pose isn't super crazy or anything but the head angle with the turning neck isn't something I've really done before, and I think I did pretty good

originally inspired by this art, this is a little basic compared to my other recent work but I was on a tight schedule so its aight

More Moonwatcher fanart :D Before the Storm by Rameses B kept playing in my head as I was drawing this
Gila, the scheming little shit
IT'S HERRRRRRRRRRRR WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I was gonna do wayyyy more for this ref sheet, I was gonna do a turnaround, her cloak pattern, her tattoos, an expression sheet, her scepter, but all that got shafted when I realized that I FUCKIN HATE DOING REF SHEETS, IT'S SO BORING AND FRUSTRATING
I also came to the realization that I don't really like her design that much, it feels kinda boring and the colors aren't very representative of her character. Blue just does not fit her. So I'll probably end up revisiting her in the future to redesign her, but I am not doing another ref sheet, the next time I need one I'm just gonna commission someone because they're a pain in the ass

Contest entry for someone on DeviantArt, very happy with how it turned out

WHO AM I (Hailstorm/Pyrite)
Not happy with this one :C
This one was an absolute mess pretty much all the way through and I kinda hate how it turned out. I was gonna do shading but I wanted to start something else instead of trying to fix something I wasn't having fun with
The flames were supposed to spell out "WHO AM I" and in my head I was like YEAH I'LL BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY SEE THE LETTERS ONCE I COLOR IT and that didn't turn out to well. I learned something at least so I'd still call it a win in my book
I'll definitely redo this one at some point and actually make something cohesive that doesn't hurt my brain to look at
Let me guide you
