I'm alive! Kinda. Been on Blue Sky actually. Been popping in here to time.

I don't share enough of my drawings and concept art here on tumblr, so here's Rusyara "Yara" Iramon, the half-dragon protagonist of the novel draft I've been battering myself against for most of the year.

Yara is the daughter of Morgana Iramon, mercenary hero and Vencari noblewoman, and Mathrankulranor, the Avhaar Dragon. Raised by Morgana and her mortal husband in the family's city, Iramar, Yara's puberty included the not just the usual horrors, but annually shedding her skin to reveal ever-more-uncanny draconic chimaerisms. Now in her middle twenties, Yara is no longer recognizable as human and sets out to Avhaar to meet the draconic half of her family: a double handful of half-dragon half-siblings and an uncounted parade of chimaeric cousins.

The first image depicts Yara as she begins the novel (though I admit that the two drawings, despite being done simultaneously, do not look as much like the same person as I would wish). The second image depicts her as she becomes one and then two years into her stay at Avhaar: ever more draconic with each shedding of her skin.

Yara is bisexual and biromantic. I haven't decided if she will develop more stereotypically draconic appetites as the story progresses, but she begins the novel on the gray-ace side of that spectrum.
