World of Tamen

The giant bear paws are back! This is Ferrin's 2014 look haha! The only thing back from the 2012 design is the horns and the back legs with the tail. He now has a nice full mane and glowing yellow eyes as opposed to the red or orange eyes he used to have. I had SO MUCH FUN with this one and I can't wait to work on another one!!

I haven't done a painting in a really long time... Most of the work I do is with the pen tool in Photoshop, so this really made my flex my artistic brain.  I like how she turned out. Alathrel really hasn't changed much since those first sketches I did of her when I was a teenager back in 2004. Seems so long ago... I guess it is so long ago haha! I'm definitely going to have to do a full body pic of her one of these days. Her legs have always given me trouble and I generally choose to hide them... She's a satyr for those who don't already know. Anyway, enough babbling and on to the next piece of art! WOO!

I will be livestreaming now for approximately 1 hour or longer. 

For whatever reason, tumblr thinks it's a really cool idea to resize certain images and not others when in an image post. Very strange... It totally butchered one of my pretty little banners for the Hatchery, so I've decided to just make a new Adoptable Dragons page altogether and scrap the other one. There won't be any noticeable difference, unless you are like me and count pixels and can see that this new page is better. Yay for fighting with tumblr limitations. All in all I am still happy I picked tumblr, but until I work out all the little bugs, please make sure you are refreshing your page each time you visit to make sure you are looking at the latest version.  Thanks!

I missed my dragon's 2nd stage and it's already onto the 3rd stage? What do I do? Don't stress! I never delete any of the previous images so you will be able to go back by searching my blog with the tag #adoptables and find your dragon. Can I edit your dragon images? Absolutely not. I hate to be a stickler about this, but I worked hard on these little dragons and I would be crushed to see someone using them to make their own or making their own adoptables out of them. I may make a template one day for people to use for their own creations, but in the meantime, I really have to ask that my dragons remain intact and unaltered. Do you ever reuse existing dragons? No. I don't even save the .psd files. Every dragon, once created, has a unique colouring that will not be repeated. There may be similarities and some may even appear very similar, but just like people, there will never be two that look exactly the same in colouring.

Well today was a massively successful day in terms of the amount of work I got done on this blog. I even had time at the end of my day to squeeze in a bit of painting time. The woman in this image the demon goddess Alathrel. I haven't done much work on her in terms of her overall design, she still looks very similar to those original sketches from my high school days only now I have more skill as an artist. Time to get back to the real world now!

This is my first little post in the area of writing for Tamen. I was doing a little exercise in writing without thinking. I had a picture of one of the mountain dragons I'd done for the adoptables up and used it for my inspiration. Just having a little fun!

My very first dragon egg ever is available for adoption! Please make sure you carefully READ THE INSTRUCTIONS so you don't find yourself getting scorched when this little one hatches! This also happens to be a special edition egg celebrating the opening of my new tumblr! This blue will not be available again after this egg hatches so adopt it while you can! In future clutches, there will be more than one egg, but given that this is my first attempt at this since I was in high school (you know, WAY back in the dark ages hehe) I want to make sure I have everything under control.

Nevertheless this is one of my favourite Ferrin pieces thus far.

Whenever I feel stuck on what to draw, Ferrin always find his way out of my pen. This is a newer drawing of an older version of Ferrin when he used to be called Angel way WAY back in the day...

I'm making this tumblr mostly for me and my need to have a creative outlet that can span a multitude of different avenues whether it be in writing, drawing, jewelry or costume creation. Stay tuned!

Another quick doodle of a younger, more cartoony version of the demon goddess Alathrel. I really want to cover her in horns and spikes, especially shoulder spikes. I'll have to do another version of this soon.

As I work on Tamen, I will be posting snippets of writing that will appear on this Excerpts page. They will be anything from creative exercises to excerpts from the main story. I may even post unrelated exercises and even writing ideas that will help me along my journey.

Now that I have more time and experience, I have decided to reopen the World of Tamen as a tumblr full of artwork, stories and adoptable dragons. Credits Music - Skyrim Soundtrack Favourite Haunts The Wormworld Saga Table Titans World of Warcraft, Eh? Blindsprings
