#FebruaryWorldbuilders @kiraofthewind.com 4 - snippet "LAND." I don't feel like a snippet today. So I'll just share a random fact. The land north of the big mountain range that splits the continent of Aneri is very fertile, but only lightly cultivated.

#FebruaryWorldbuilders @kiraofthewind.com 3 - Share your maps! A map of Areaer's largest landmass, and a map of the entire Alaeran ocean. I've got lots more on my webpages. Areaer: enthralledbylove.com/novels/intro... Alaer: enthralledbylove.com/novels/intro...

#FebruaryWorldbuilders @kiraofthewind.com - size & scope of world Mostly, I write about one planet and I have no ideas for any novels beyond the Anidril System. However, the universe is ... well, I don't know how big! Many galaxies. Anidril System "About" page: enthralledbylove.com/novels/the-a...

#FebruaryWorldbuilders The name of the planet where most of the stories take place is Areaer (but this name may not appear in all stories). The name of the Sun is Anidril (but this name doesn't appear in most of the stories). The name of the other earth-like (ocean) planet is Alaer.

Okay. Areaer has "Relational / Personality-driven Magic." The idea is basically that magic is personality innate in ... everything, from sand to mountains to stars. So, I don't know whether it's soft-rational or soft-irrational, because it does have reason, but that reason is like poetry, not logic.

Trying really hard not to get super heated about peoples' continued use of gen a/i and how it's absolute garbage rot and grounds for immediate block and loss of all respect. So here's a fiery dragon that I painted. One of a lifetime of paintings that I will make that gen a/i has no part of. Ever.

Yet another commission finished! This one was interesting to do, they asked specifically for the character to be in a cave with only their bioluminescence lighting up the area. I’d say it was good practice! #art #digitalart #artcommission #dragon #dragonart

Anyone know of any feeds for fantasy animals? I'm following a dragon feed, but sometimes it seems like more of the dragons look human than not.

This was a fun paintover to do. Took one of photograps done by @Akulatraxas and turned the birdie to the dragon. the biggest chalange I found myself trying to solve was making the trnasparecy of the foggy out-of-focul branches overlaying the subject. Photo: Akulatraxas #art #painting #dragon

I've been using this painting as a warm up for working on other pieces for a few months now. I'd open it up, work on it for a little bit until I was in the groove, and then get on with more important work. I think as of today he's done, though! #dragon #fantasyart #seadragon

Moons are actually eggs of a goddess. They glow golden when they're developing over thousands of years until the shell turns into a dim silver when the baby hatches. Once the babies grow up, they fly to other galaxies and eventually lay their own eggs.
