Creative Corner

What I'm looking for:
Inspiration of any kind, songs, other images, drawing prompts, etc.

What you may get in return:
To those players whose ideas inspire me to create an original piece, I will draw a headshot of one of their dragons (your choice). I will not guarantee this to everyone as not everything is classed as inspiring to me.

My current inspirations:
-Instrumental Music: Two Steps from Hell, NoCopyrightSounds, Varien, etc.
-Creature Creations: Basically I create a list of random animals and roll dice to see which two (or five...) I'm going to combine into a single creation.
-Tongue-ties: When I mess up saying something and it turns into a drawing idea (e.g. Half elf ranger became Half elk ranger)
-There's probably a lot more but I'm blanking at this point! ^_^;;

What to recommend:
Anything and everything! Please feel free to recommend animals to add to my random creation list as well, I'm always looking for new creation fodder!

What not to recommend:
-Anything specifically listed above (e.g. Varien)
-Anything listed in the post below (in-thread recommendation list)
-Anything NSFW or against FR rules
-Simply posting your dragon... FR dragons are cool, but they aren't inspiring when it comes to my original works.

No double dipping! If someone has already recommended something, it is now unable to be recommended again.

What sometimes helps me get some inspiration, is listening to Lucas King. His music is beautifully haunting and can really help me get into a certain mood.

And Pinterest. That site does wonders for me.

I might post some more if anything comes to mind!

I hope you can find the inspiration you are looking for ^^

@arikin

Ideas;
Wacky gravity (maybe a tea set frozen and tea and sugar falling from everything?)
Blind animals that seem to see with their other senses
Moving plants
Creeping vines
Dandelion wolves
Oh Myths! Greek ones and fictional disiases!
Like Hanahaki Disease
Frost creeping into hearts

@Andraya - thank you for those!

Oooh- I could see a mix of dandelion wolves and creeping vines - maybe in a scene with my Snapdragon?

I'll have to look up Hanahaki Disease- haven't heard that one before

Definitely look up a lot of myths- been studying a bit of Norse and Japanese recently- thinking of delving back into Brazilian mythology to do a project for my mother.

Do you have a dragon/OC you would like me to draw a headshot for?
