i know ur in melbourne otherwise i wouldve asked if i could go w/ u omgggg i just dont want to got to a concert alone thats so sad AND THE TICKETS ARE SO EXPENSIVE i dont want to like make someone come with me who doesnt like them and have them pay all that money :(

*shrugs* I’ve been to a my chem and a fall out boy concert alone before and it wasn’t that bad. You make friends in the line, everyone’s there for the same thing, otherwise you just enjoy the hell out of it anyway. I suppose at the end of the day it comes down to how much you wanna see it and if you have the cash. If you really want to and have the money go and don’t stress.

So if you want to see how indecipherable my thumbnail sketches are, here you go! When I want to actually explore composition or a bunch of ideas all at once, these are what I do. They’re not that big either. Could fit about four in the pages of my sketchbook.

I like to write notes to myself too. And since these were rough, really quick ideas for a set of nouveau (holy shit, I spelled that right the first time) style Pacific Rim character portraits, like hell I was going to render out the detail ideas.

Newt and Hermann are probably the only ones I’m liking. The others I think need a couple other ideas.

The fire dragons were considered a violent, unpredictable force of nature. Able to survive in any environment, fastest on land and air, fire breath and venom. It was no surprise when the other dragon tribes rose against them and used their combined forces to act as exterminator.

In the end, even though the fire dragons were no more (or so it was assumed), the casualties to the other dragon tribes were great. The fire dragons had made judicious use of one of their more dangerous weapons. Something worse than their blistering fire breath. Something that was whispered as “supernova.” It was fatal to all within a certain great radius, and almost always fatal to the fire dragon executing it as well. The fire dragons were able to superheat themselves, increasing their core temperature and to expel that energy at such high heat that nothing would be left around them. However, the fire dragon would be (if not killed immediately) near crippled, it’s insides burned black and raw. It was always a last effort from a desperate dragon.

And there’s some chubby dragon versions too. I haven’t doodled dragons in awhile.

I have lots of dragon lore for these suckers. They’ve been evolving and being developed since I was in middle school.
