VantonDraws

also not a lot of fanart to be found, sometimes that's enough to motivate me.

s been hard to draw lately when it seems like no matter how close I get to improving past basic rendering, something still looks wrong to me. trapped in a loop of wanting to draw to get better but not wanting to draw anything I like until I get better. at least I have more modern Vant examples, showing the bodily changes when he's feeling not so hot, wings reattach to his back and not so glowy.

this armor was not next, despite being a white armor. but after noticing its an upgrade to the standard armor, it wasn't as hopeless to parse the design. Bal Saucer Infinity Strike uses the same armor and a disc so this is cheating a bit, but the disc is also in an armorless card so this is the only way i'd ever add it during this project.

not my best Bal art, but the goal was speed while staying detailed. thought I was done with white armors but turns out "The Ideal Invincible Dragon, Bal Dragon" is some sort of fusion/retrain of the base white armor, so it counts.

inspired by another flamedramon-like oc I follow, as well as the commission I got from Rokuro, I wanted to sketch a quick example of Saby using his unique physical move, created from his asymmetrical armor composition. (i feel like giving flamey gas lighters as accessories is a common oc tactic, but like, if it works, it works.)

Filmon truly doesn't get enough well deserved attention. he gets to be my test subject while I practice shading today.

(he's not showing hole i promise! hes just got a weird birthmark. its like how people draw cats with the lil * or x on the butt)

another Appreciate a Dragon Day has come and gone, and as usual I barely make it in time or miss it completely. was practicing shading while once again making my yearly adjustment to my sona, now he's back to four fingies and got retractable thumblike claws on his hands and feet, because I just couldn't commit to the five finger life I guess.

been exploring some potential lore expansion for Noblemon, my digimon OC, Noblemon. having been based on an orca, he should be relatively comfortable in the water. also considering his arms are loose-ish cloth reminiscent of rubberhose animation, he may not be all that physically strong without using his whole body and relying on technical skill.

keep your pants on, he aint got nothin goin on down there.

tfw ur crush is doing yoga in the mid afternoon and the streetlights come on right as you finally get curious enough to try copying the exercise. I went through all the effort of giving Saby a cool combat focused design, only to more often draw him doing goofy shit like this.

this started as a sketch of a new body shape I was trying for Saby, but then it turned into some anatomy and cel shading practice. not quite figure studies since I didn't directly reference any poses, but I think it's much closer to my skill goal.

final rubeusdramon for now. be sure not to mess up flamedramon's order or else you'll see why he likes his new gf so much. #digimon #furryart

so rarely am I topical, and I'm never the first on art of the new characters, but I was inspired by a couple posts I saw float by and I had to draw my wife asking the important questions.

been a minute, decided to try some cel shading again, I noticed this is fairly similar to explosive sun dragon, but redder and hotter.

third pass at sunderamon, almost getting there.

okay, finally I'm done with original armor with Heated up sun, Bal dragon. i finally have to choose between the red and black armor sets, because I fear the white alt armors' complexity.
