An orange four-legged dragon sitting on a cloud typing on a calculator: 342 / 4 * 92 - 46.5 = 7734

A board with a set of 3x3 holes with a score and life count above it. Dragon heads pop out of the holes and the player's head headpats them and boops one of them.

Are there particular physical characteristics that separate kobolds from dragons? I realize that it can be very subjective but I want to see what everyone thinks.

I’m always amazed at the incredible quality of the work that so many artists, including many on the Fediverse, can pull off. It’s so weird to now be on the opposite side, actually making this stuff rather than merely consuming it.

The very fact that you created a character yourself inherently gives you a very different relationship compared to those who see your character. The people who see your work only have seen it for maybe about 5 seconds, with no other context, before they determine “Wow, that looks fantastic!” But you, however, have seen that same art piece for hours, potentially conflicting with your own imagination, and have seen all of its previous iterations that led up to that final result. Of course it won’t feel the same to you.

This relationship puts me in a position where I personally don’t quite feel like the quality of my work lives up to everyone else’s standards on the Fediverse. But I’m doing the best that I can, and I feel incredibly grateful to see my work get as much engagement as it does. Thank you.

Whoa, that’s a massive Easter egg!!!

#dragon #dragonart #art #animation

Behind an abstract grass-like background, two orange clawed hands hold a massive intricately detailed easter egg. The egg beings to crack and then explodes, revealing a small bright yellow four-legged dragon with blue wings. He looks at the camera, waves his tail, and bleps.

The most accurate clock in the world

An analog clock where the phrase "Dragon time" replaces every each hour number.

Optimizing a logo for different sizes can be immensely satisfying.

Of course dragons exist! We exist in the Fediverse, on the greater web, in media, potentially in your mind...

I don’t know if anybody else here like classical music, but I’ve been enjoying a lot of piano music recently I’d like to share (1/ 🧵)

#Introduction

Heyo! My name is Melvian!

I'm a typeface designer, programmer, character animator, and a general enthusiast of all sorts of stuff related to design and technology! Also, I'm an animated frost dragon :dragnhappy:

In an ice cave, a metallic trapdoor opens. I, a bright green cartoon dragon, pop out of the door and happily wave.
