Creative Corner

(one day a new banner will be put here - but today is not that day) [i]Please note: I since changed my FR username to Commander, but old art will still have the username Namulord on it. It's still proper credit, however, due to my Neocities sharing the same username.[/i] [b]This is the art dump thread; The shop is linked below, along with my writing and a few other things I host.[/b] [b]UPDATE: 3/3/24:[/b] Heh, renamed the thread to something inspired by a quote used by Dr. Facilier from Princess and the Frog. "The Sideways Glance" refers to others not bothering to pay attention to those they deem "unworthy" of such. While I find it fitting for myself and my works, I also wanted something more creative than "Art by (name)". Plus I've not used my Droidsona, Pharaoh, in a while. Decided after 5 months of being on FR that I needed a thread to keep up with some of my FR art. I don't have many, but I just wanted to show them off anyway. [i]PLEASE NOTE that I am not a professional and only do art as a hobby! I am also better with humanoids, monsters, and certain anthros; I do not do FR art anymore unless it's for my own dragon and out of boredom. If you're just going to come and insult my art, do not post at all.[/i] I will be trying to organize these posts by type (such as makeables and requests), and some ARE free to use! I will mention in each post which ones you may use and which ones are for personal use or others' usage. Please respect these rules and don't take what isn't made for you! [i]Comments and compliments are allowed, but [b]no critiques.[/b][/i] I admit, I want to hear more than the generic "nice", "cute", etc...I hear those all the time. I want to know what someone likes [i]about[/i] my art (or chars! Dear Lord Xero, compliment my characters!). Gives me a wonderful feeling when someone actually points out what they like about my art, designs, etc. As someone who clearly doesn't do professional art, it just gives a huge confidence boost and I really need that. Sure I love my art, but...A lot of times i feel like it's not enough and it just hurts. Rambling aside, enjoy what I have (or not; Not everyone likes creepy stuff, it's fine)~ [emoji=paintbrush size=1][emoji=paintbrush size=1][emoji=paintbrush size=1] [b]Other threads of mine:[/b] [i]Things for You:[/i] [u]PWYW Shop:[/u] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/art/3041515]Here[/url] (also linked in sig; OPEN, I'd love to draw some OCs, please give 'em to me!)

Do not remove credit! You may use these offsite as long as you abide by these rules. Feel free to PM me if you're asking for art for chars from another pet site and I can give you my username there if I have one. I do ask that you not post anything on sites with NSFW content that [b]canNOT[/b] be controlled by the user (such as FurAffinity or Subeta). I don't want my art associated with NSFW sites since I try to only post SFW stuff, and am otherwise uncomfortable with NSFW sites. Also, these may [b]not, by any cirumstance[/b] be used to make profit! That means that my art canNOT be used for anything that will earn you any money, [b]including cryptocurrency![/b] I am personally VERY ANTI NFT so I expect you to respect my wishes. Even if you beg, grovel, offer your soul, and kiss my chars' boots, I refuse to let you earn profit from art you didn't make.

If you see someone using my art without permission, PLEASE report them (even if it's offsite)![/i] [b]I will also NOT allow my art to be used for AI generated art! I also do not seek such art, so please do not offer AI generated artwork as a trade. I prefer a 5 second scribble over AI generated art.[/b] Plus I don't care about quality or media, so all art is valid and loved! I will not bash your art due to anything. I just request no meme art as someone who is anti social media and also not a part of meme culture.

He's the "good side" / "future form" of Dark Xac and wants to forget what he did in the past. I'm proud of how I did his hair here. [img]https://i.imgur.com/SB9UHQv.png[/img] SubZero's dragon design (on FR and on Neopets)! I'm most proud of this and Xac's pieces. Both were for a Neo contest, and man, I went all out.

[b]For Others:[/b] [i]DO NOT USE UNLESS I MADE IT FOR YOU![/i] Not going to be naming dragons/users here. Some pieces have names on them. UPDATE: Heck it, I'll add anything remotely related here.

The dragon is gorgeous, wow! [s]Mer-people HOW?[/s] [img]https://i.imgur.com/KGwYMO8.png[/img] My most recent art trade, for someone's sona~ I admit, headshots aren't my forte but this char was fun to do and I could add some effects to spruce things up, haha (definitely one of my methods to make my headshots appear more interesting)! The transparency didn't work out well though, since I used a special brush on Paint that causes those ugly white specks. ;-; Unsure if it's able to be seen on the FR forums, but uh...Yeah, long story short, fun char, great design. Had fun. [img]https://i.imgur.com/sSpz6Pq.png[/img] "Draw the FANdragon Above You", BAYMAX!! I feel like this one's cursed, tbh. But I had to draw a fandragon I actually completely knew the reference to, and when I saw him, I practically ran in screaming "I CLAIM!!!". I like to call this one Baymax Yeti due to the fur and "hands", lol. And while I normally dislike drawing dragons, I had fun mixing up Baymax and a Tundra. :P [img]https://i.imgur.com/TJvpgwG.png[/img] From the "Draw the OC Above You" thread. UGH, I loved this char and was hoping I'd get a shot at it! I like the OC board more due to my preference to those and fandom chars over generic FR dragons. Plus I found a fondness toward shadow creatures with this kind of anatomy, LOL. 100/10, would draw again. [img]https://i.imgur.com/nLM4RVr.png[/img] An attempt at "real" chibi art. Also a trade with a friend. I had fun drawing this, tbh. And chibis aren't my thing at all! XD [img]https://i.imgur.com/ipD4P2K.png[/img] An art trade I did with a friend of her Pokémon OC. Had fun doing pixel art again, plus adding some Puzzle and Dragons inspired stuff. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Dl8TODX.png[/img] Another trade, of someone's monster OC. Had fun with this one, along with some challenges. Very worth it! [img]https://i.imgur.com/BHsHNaS.png[/img] Sushi dragon~ Fun little request I did and got a tech skin in exchange.

Will either add something here or delete this post. Board needs a cleanup anyway.

Here’s a tip for drawing spirals:

• Make a bowl of spaghetti
• Take a piece
• Throw it at the wall
• What ever way it lands, that’s how to draw the spiral
• Eat the spaghetti while drawing the spiral
• After you are done, clean up the spaghetti

(Let me know if I should delete this lol)

@QuirkyJunimo

I actually like this, hahaha! It gave me a good giggle.

Y'know, I ironically also refuse to draw the Pokémon Tangela because of all those vines. XD As a kid, if I drew it, it was literally a ball with eyes and feet.
I actually did that with Koffing too. I wasn't ready for details. Now I can draw that, though. But forget anything covered in nothing but wiggly things!

Boop

Woohoo, now the thread has a banner!

I actually really like the turnout, minus the fact I used the pixel tool for text. But oh well. I like how the drawings and larger text came out.


Also added my potential WL for PWYW (whenever I open up again).

Added Mirror makeable...I was proud of it...And then back view happened.

I couldn't stop, lol.
