Typhoon Dragon Artwork + Writing Update [4/20/2023]

Hey peeps!

Here is artwork for a fully grown typhoon dragon! Hopefully you all enjoy. Same artist as most of the other art (he's super cool, and super fast, so it has been a pleasure working with him).

Abyssal Arcanist is well underway. Thank you to everyone who volunteered their name to be used for a villain! Look out for bad guys with your names, LOL

I Unironically Love Heroes [Personal]

One time, in high school, a girl asked me, “Are those the same jeans you wore yesterday?” and I didn’t know what to say.

Technically, they had been the same jeans I wore all week, but people rarely noticed me, much less spoke to me. What was I supposed to say to her? Yes, they were? Then she would ask me why I was still wearing them, instead of wearing something new, and then I woul...
