Projects
Anything included here constitutes a worldbuilding or artwork series project. Feel free to ask me about them! I might be shy at first but that’s on me - I hold my worlds close to my chest and getting emotionally burned is scary, but if others can enjoy my nonsense, then maybe it’s worth it.
More to come!
Dragons of the World
Status: In Progress
8/43 Illustrations Completed (June 7, 2025)I made dragons inspired by heritage, encompassing the whole world! Each dragon name is alliterative with a color that features predominantly in the dragon's design and is a mixture of the geography and culture of the region they call home. I designed these dragons with the idea that, if they existed in an alternate world, their traits informed the culture of their homeland.The dragon illustrations shown below will be available as stickers and acrylic charms on my online shop as they are completed, so everyone can enjoy their own heritage dragon.
