Danke! I love sharp lighting and often go overboard with it. But i love making things shiny
Question. How many layers do you work with on average? 🙂
This question goes to all digital artists here. I'm curious.
nervous laughter no worries
I really like the lighting effects here. Well done.
Lighting is my fav, i appreciate it
Looks absolutely incredible
My art isn’t as detailed as some of y’all, but I try to keep 2 vector layers for lineart (1 main and 1 for colored lines below) 1 base color, 1 light yellow overlay, 1 dark blue multiply. So like six I guess. If I have a base and different outfits it’s six more per outfit folder
I usually have 50 - 100, but I have often gone way over 100. My Zieg has 55, Lloyd has 77, but my Dart illustration has 195
Indeed
gyat-dayum you guys have been cookin some gourmet stuff here i see
im so glad this discord exists
the community was so scattered and disjointed but now its like im in dragoon heaven
I'm happy the intention is coming through! That's the idea: bring all fans together, empower them with more knowledge and fun, and beyond.
His armor is making me go insane. Wish he had some high quality renders. At this point I'm just making it up as I go along
I think it's looking great
And I'm the last person to complain about "non-accurate" PS1 armor. One of my favorite old school game villains has this pattern on the back of his coat and for the life of me I can't decifer it. So I bullshit. And it works.
I know exactly how you feel re: lack of high-res artwork. Have you exhausted your other options? If not, then perhaps some of your difficulty can be alleviated.
Only thing I can think of is getting up to that cutscene where it has his close-up and hope it shows some other angles of him. Other than that, Just that concept art with him and the Dragon Buster is all I've been going off of. His forms in-game during his fight don't really help me much
Embrace the BS...Let looseeeeee
Yeah, that pesky God of Destruction body is in the way somewhat. But not entirely. 😉
Let's review:
- FMV stills (sometimes they help a lot, despite being low-res)
- official artwork (we can check the JP Guidebook)
- submap model
- battle model
- ???
Brain fuzzy, but will check some of these for you.
Just YouTube it
That's worse than grabbing the stills from the IKI file.
Better than playing half the game to see it blur by for 3 frames 😄
I'll just make stuff up. I haven't been 100% accurate on anybody yet, Melbu will just be the most different character
I do seem to remember a concept art of him?
Uh... I didn't say play half the game. I said check the IKI frames.
Am I making that up?
it takes like 3 minutes if one doesn't already have an export.
No no, mozsaic said that
ah.
👁️ 👁️
We gotta retrain everyone
At this point it's really just what's on his arms that I'm trying to find some info on
What map is that duck-face dart from? 😆
I'll guess the rooftop scene at Lavitz' house.
Tell it to discord
thank you very much for these
low-res but still juicy. Hopefully they help a bit. Onto the concept / promo artwork...
Only one I can find in the JP Guidebook on short notice. Can check more stuff for you later.
It's all good! You've done more than enough to help me out
Ha! I wasn't making things up
I didn't check all ~440 pages, but maybe. :P
Probably too polished of metal, but I kinda don't want to work on him anymore
Plenty understandable, that looks like a ton of work.
god that looks so cool though
Would it be in bad taste to ask if i can use some of these pieces for a pathfinder LoD campaign?
bad taste would be not asking for permission, haha.
In that case, @lethal skiff could I save your melbu, zieg, lloyd and lenus? Or anyone else youd suggest that youre comfortable with?
Itd be a playgroup that knows nothing about the game, so I really wanna give them some solid work beyond screenshots for the important characters
go for it. You can use my older work too, though some of them are pretty rough (looking at you, Lavitz). The others are on my artstation, which I have a link to in my bio thing
Yeeeeee boi
I appreciate that a ton
awesome work done there!... to be honest i love that metallic touch... since implies and reinforce the idea of Melbu becoming 'more than a wingly' a Divinity...
I initially had some more like space metal coloring on it, but I didn't keep it as prevalent
here's that - lots of purples and pinks
alt-universe Melbu.. 🤤
surviving in a machine body! I could see it.
Like Lloyd's armor but way more potent.
Ahhhh you made him so scary. Well done
Holy crap that rendering, I literally thought he existed in a 3d space. Fantastic
I try
@silk meadow do you remember which artist lod's style was inspired from?
or culture, i dont remember which
organic looking stuff
It was about Dragoon Armor being even more organic-looking. Part of the inspiration was H.R. Giger. Here's the concept art, alongside a remnant of the style in-game.
thanks
you're welcome!
Shirley you can't be serious
Aww it's cute
Heck yeah
I feel bad posting these here, as I know these don't require nearly as much talent as some of the incredible artwork, but I'm working on a Sandora Soldier now in Hero Forge. Not a lot of good options so I've been kitbashing everything (very difficult). There's not even a good feather for the helmet. I had to use a carapace thing.
If the Sandora soldiers and hellena wardens didn't show so much skin it'd probably be easier, as HeroForge has little to no options for cropped / half covering armor xD
Based on their in game models hellena wardens ar basically dresses like gimps with chain mail scarves
Right? 🤣
I like to imagine either Fruegel is cheap, Sandora doesn't give him any money, or it's a dominance thing...
We should have this as an emoji
Hahaha, is it bad that I like all of the above? 😆 .
I always chalked it up to something like: "...well, maybe it's really hot in there". But I like the financial idea in particular.
Guess you could say hes frugal
As a fellow HF kitbasher, this is impressive and clever work. I love the pauldrons as leg and arm plates and the shields for the breastplate, really well done! I immediately knew it was a Sandora soldier when I saw it.
I appreciate it, if you can immediately tell it was a Sandora Soldier that's more than enough for me. 😇
Honestly the shield was just a temp so I could show what I was working on without him being shirtless. xD
So you guys think Mr. Sandora Elite here is wearing some kind of body suit with metal accents? Or is it meant to be like chainmail all around the purple bits that just isn't fully textured?
Curious because I took a break from working on soldier to work on my boi
Hard to say, it's a unique design. I'd lean toward moderate padding rather than chainmail. At most, a chain shirt under the main layer.
I always presumed it was meant to combine a sort of ninja cloth or silk outfit, but with european-inspired metal armor on-top.
I hate using shields for armor plates, but given the undecided nature of his underlayer, here's chain mail and ninja suit.
good work
These are so cool, I hope you keep up with it!
this is fire
I still hesitate to call these "done" because I still hate the chest piece, but here's the Sandora Soldier touched up in their three skins (Seles, Hoax, Marshland)
This is a practice of me trying to color and practice inking on my tablet. I always had this dumb idea from the Omniman Thick Meme.
Granted, Kongol has a warrior skirt or coverings.
Nonetheless Enjoy 😘
Or Question my choices.
The Lavitz mouth shape has me reeling.
Lmao
every day we stray further from Soa
@here New creative event is up! See #📡updates / #1427809354287026288
First group session to work on our submissions starts in two hours! I'll be livestreaming. Yall can join in on voice and/or video, or lurk in the channel.
Stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0qS24WY-DM
Voice/Video: https://discord.com/channels/307164262063669248/1427743867402457178
Death Rose WIP. Prety much got the sketching done and hopefully I'll get something like a reimagined concept art.
Any good artwork for adding to Steam?
Which asset are you trying to fill?
A background, banner, and icon.
You can probably do some manual image cropping from existing fanart, but I'm not aware of anything purpose-built with those dimensions in mind. I'll look up the dimensions, as I think it'd be worth having a small fan kit for that purpose.
Not mine, but this Dart model is crazy and fanmade. https://www.heroforge.com/load_config%3D55491116/
That's incredible, good find!
that same person also did human dart as well
The next arts event starts today! And this time, two whole months to cook something.

Yippeeee!!
Anyone have any idea of what you’ll make for this one?? I don’t have anything in mind but I do know how to make snow falling in 3D now
I have several ideas, but my drawing tablet's pen is still missing! Argh.
Oh no that sucks haha
oof
what drawing tablet are you using
I'll get back to blender once I finish my build
@valid shadow I believe it's a Gaomon M10K 2018. I am sure it's in the house somewhere, but at this point I may order a custom one if they're interchangeable.
Now I want a crossover of Dart in this outfit and Cloud in his wallstreet outfit XD
Omg they could be a girl squad
surprise claire (without the blood on the collar) commission
Yayy Claire!!
Happy holidays.
So let’s say someone made an original character customization game, what all would be ideal to include? Here’s what I can think of off the top of my head:
-Name/age/text descriptions
-race(which races should be included?)
-stance/weapon
-hair/face/color sliders
stickers/patterns/textures for clothing and for skin.
modular position sliders
That could be fun. I was thinking fighting stances could be fun too
It would. My general golden standard for create a character games comes from soulcalibur. Honestly theyve really mastered the process, and if more items were compatible with each other or could be slightly altered, youd be able to make anything.
So I suggest getting familiar there and finding ways to improve if you REALLY wanna go all in
I once made a modernized bandit drake there, still one of my favorite creations
this
Looks great! SC character customization is soo good. I’m thinking the easiest way for me would be to texture the base model with a basic stand animation and every weapon model etc in the file. People could open it in blender, hide and unhide stuff, and edit the texture via photoshop or something. That way users aren’t limited by my programming skills 😂
Made this in Blender the other day. I just used the text object so it's not exactly the same font . might do the sword thing later if I need this for anything else
Thankfully you can get most of the way there! The devs used the common font Georgia Bold as a base. I use it in community videos. ^_^
Ohh heck yeah imma switch it next time
Added the Severed Chains part for funzies
This is really cool Fable! Nice work!
Thanks!! I’m gonna get a lot of use out of this logo haha
Fun fact, there's a model on the title screen that's used for rendering the flame effects. 👀 if that interests you.
Wait whaaat??
yes
Did a fanart of my fave game of all time, you know, that one game on the 5th gen of consoles where a blonde swordsman saves the world from a sphere in the sky :3
ooh the silent dude powerpuff girls
Oh shiet you're right, now I need to draw that someday XD
Meru changed sides.
Wow I guess winglies come first
Got all of the gang from Doom's model converter so I could make myself a screensaver! I used some compositing filters so make it seem painted as well~
Oooo that’s cool
Also here's a WIP of an OC/character creator i'm working on! IF I can figure everything out she'll be fully customizable. As for the OC specifically, she's an extremely dedicated academic that decided to follow the Goons around so she can safely document creatures and nature! If there were a camp mod I'd imagine she stays there like some NPCs in Baldur's Gate 3
Made some progress with a few expressions
Made a few more clothing pieces and made a basic flail. I kinda want to also make all of the dragoon's hairstyles but that's a whole other task lol. Once I get all of the clothes modeled i want to try tweaking them all at once for a masc body... if that works ill be saving alot of remodeling!
I hate when im in a manic art phase and this channel is quiet lol
Someone else post some fanart so I'm not spamming!!
I'm sorry! My drawing pen is still missing :( . I may need a new one at this point, so I can make more fanart.
Oh yeah I remember you saying that before. I hope you find it soon!
Got really sidetracked today and made a pretty dress lol
Pfft. I know that's the imposter, rather than the real Princess Emille.
Funny thing is I wasn’t trying to make Emille, those are just the first colors on my color list 😂 I really should make her and her sisters hair for this
If you do, please clone the model and alter the face to match the imposter's in-game face texture. It's perfect.
I feel like I vaguely remember it so I’ll have to look it up when I do 😆
one moment
my efforts have been thwarted. I will try again later.
No worries lol
Apparently if I want to draw bad enough, but still can't, my brain will go to great lengths to make some kind of fanart lol.
That’s such a good reference picture of Emille, waaay better than the wiki one lol
I've been telling ya to use SC or the asset conversion tool from DooM for years now, lmao. The whole point is to empower yall with stuff like that. :)
restored asset quality is a total joy.
Yeah I need to get off my lazy butt and start screenshotting refs
Pokémon's James and Jesse, imagined as Zieg and Rose.
lol they really are trouble so its perfect
blursed ideas in my mind... noooo.. stoooop
made some special Emille dress options. No textures yet cause idk if i wanna do them since i already have like 50 modular parts
It's coming together! 🙌🏻
Yeah at this rate I’ll be able to make cutscenes as well
loving this new stuff everyone. great to see this project so alive
Heyo these look incredible! Love how the backgrounds fit where you can encounter them. There is a small typo in the Trent description, there's a " that should be a ,
Thank you so much! And appreciate the attention ✌️ Will fix it
They really do look great. Very polished looking!
Sooo modular~ I went and finally separated the brows,mouth, eyes, and pupils! +a few more hairstyles
Oh no! Lisa is acting different than usual this time
Watch your back!
Happy Dabas Day! Got a reference of Dabas for myself but sharing for anyone else interested
Bladesong, the swordmaking game, came out today. I plan to make the casts weapons eventually. The game also allows for conversion to stl files for 3d printing, so once theyre done I'll try to share those as well.
That sounds really cool
“Too Late” an illustration dedicated to the moment when Dart arrives in Seles.
Love the details in this 💙
Thanks! ✨
Omg thats so dark lol. Nice job!
"Meru dancing in Donau" 🌻 🌷 🪻
first attempt at Darts sword in Bladesong :
wow the old man slumped over the well is a good detail
Sunset over Hellena - Just finished the Page 74 of my fan manga. 🌄
Underrated enemy
This is sick
I feel like a lot of this art eventually could be incoporated as mod assets in the future! Like map assets or remastered cutscenes!
link?
This is fucking awesome
@analog saddle Would you like to see a Mininto Dragoon?
Very much so
Incredible
"Inside Hellena" – Just wrapped this new page of my project! 
Awesome!
Fantastic :D
Thanks guys!
I’m finishing the next page btw
The fanzine announcement is exciting! I’m already inspired to draw stuff
Me either! It'll be my first time.
be sure to drum up excitement in #1481473523254825052 and #🐲legend-of-dragoon to help the project get a little more visibility here on Discord.
I’m trying to decide what would be most fun for a zine
It's a very long development cycle. Plenty of time to make a decision.
that's true, im getting ahead of myself lol
Mooooooooon
Part of a larger piece!!
Text is a lyric, next line is “i am listening”. In the “you are free to sever the chains of fate etc etc” font 🥹
I would be too. Super cool!
I have entered the gooey phase and must keep looking at that photo i took yesterday to remind myself how pretty it actually is under all that
Does anyone wanna commission me? Nows your chance to see that LOD thing you always wanted to see!
Did someone say “Kongol in Rouge apprentice robes?”
that's hilarious!!!
I figured it made more sense than his default fit lol
Well, I do think it's novel to perform martial arts in a giant loin cloth.
True, I guess I am shooting myself in the foot a little bit by changing it lol
Heck yeah
I made the clothes on separate layers so y’all will probably be seeing the base again later
I love this, what a cool concept

Got his main outfit now
This is looking really good! Love the details like his rings being included and the bull-eqsue head made of metal along the top of his loincloth. Now we just gotta see Haschel in Kongol's outfit to complete the set xD I can already imagine the scene...
"Kongol make for you"
"Oh, thank you. You didn't make me this because of the apprentice robe did you?"
"Kongol accepts thanks. Wanted to share what came from my people, after you shared what came from yours... Was Kongol wrong?"
"No no, of course not. That was a gift- I just didn't want you doing this because you felt indebted."
"Kongol understand, this was gift too then."
"Ah, good. Also, how did you know my size?"
"Kongol learn from Meru, art of skullduggery."
"I... you know I think I don't want to know what that even means."
100% Albert taught Kongol that word xD
Although “taught” seems like a strong word lol
Now I’m picturing Albert teaching Kongol like that scene in The sound of music. “Do a female dear~”
I'm more imagining Albert using the word, tbh all the bandit stuff in disc 2 would be a perfect spot for it to come up, and Kongol getting really confused like, "Kongol not see bandits digging in skulls. No gold there." and that would make Albert have to launch into an explanation which Meru totally wouldn't corrupt immediately as a prank bc the temptation not to is just too strong.
That’s way better
Wabaaam now they both have both outfits
OH MY SOA!!!!!

Ayo that looks so good! I was just imagining a duplicate of Kongol's armor but this is way better. Love the detail on the shoulder pad
Yeah I thought this would be more fun. Kinda like Dresspheres in FFX-2
I realized his arms were huge in his 3D render and decided it was more canon than his pencil sketch lol
Im not gonna do the outfit swap for anyone else cause it slows me down but im close to finishing Dart and Lavitz
The bromance is complete!
I appreciate that his pauldron seems to be the same design as whatever that metal piece on his back is.
I figured it was too unique to not include lol. What the heck is it supposed to be anyway, a back shield?
Btw here’s the base of Dart and Lavitz without their armor
He would be a briefs guy
Lavitz got the whity tightys cause thats all his mom buys
Just finished Rose and Shana!
Rose my favourite
I love Rose expression like... "seriously? we need to pose for this?... c'mon"
“Okay one more but this time let’s make funny face!”
Rose: 
idk why i keep checking the LOD Wiki. It had me thinking Miranda had brown eyes... I go in freecam for armor details and shes just looking at me like
Yeah the character sections are ones I haven't touched yet lol. I've been working on getting everything up to speed, but there's just a lot that needs doing
oh i thought the wiki was separate from yall lol sorry!
Lmao no need to apologize; the wiki had wildly inaccurate and incomplete information when I started working on it and there's still sections I've not gotten a chance to overhaul. It depends on which wiki you're using (ours is on legendofdragoon(dot)org, not the fandom wiki) but I checked ours and sure enough it says her eyes are brown 🙃
oh ok, i made an account on the fandom one and changed it haha
Yeah ours is here -> https://legendofdragoon.org/wiki/Main_Page
Some things are far more extensively documented now than the fandom, like locations having submap information and enemy spawn chances, or enemies having exact behavior mapped out. Although grain of salt that I haven't gotten to party members or equipment yet. I've done a big update on all enemies and almost all locations, but there's still some hiccups in formatting that I'll be fixing later. I also know that the items section is missing some info so it's not a comprehensive list just yet.
Welcome to the Legend of Dragoon unified wiki. This project serves as a resource for in-game information, as well as external data such as known merchandise, history of LoD in the news, and other documentation that more fans should be aware of. To learn why this wiki is being developed when we already have a resource at Wikia/Fandom, please see ...
No worries, it looks like yall have added a lot so far
Bad news....Albert has blue eyes too 🙁 I was happy with his brown eyes
two more down! Last two are Meru and Lloyd
Ooh! Love the colors on these, so vibrant! And the outfits are always wonderfully complex, great work 💙
Thank youu! I’m trying to be as accurate as possible so I can use these as reference lol
Makes sense, have you been using the free cam function in SC?
Yeah I used it when I couldn’t tell parts from the art/renders (and that’s how I realized they both have blue eyes)
Omg look at this gem hidden at the bottom of the fandom wiki
Interesting, that looks to be in the same style as some of the concept art in the archive but it doesn't seem we have a copy in there that I'm seeing. @silk meadow thoughts?
I halted uploads to Google Drive in favor of our webserver - that's actively in development and will be online before summer.
However, that will only be official art for a while.
That is official art though right?? I’m using it for reference so it’d suck if it’s fanart
I think Drew is referring to art being hosted on the webserver being only official, implying that we'll eventually host fan art there too
Since you posted in fanart, you're giving the opposite impression.
and you're not helping my ailing memory.
separately, Wulves is correct.
Ah ok lol. I’m using it for my fanart reference so felt it was still on topic
It is, but at the time you only said it was a hidden gem lmao.
contrary to popular belief, I cannot read minds. xD
Ah dang you got me there
Yay I’m doonnee!!
Everyone together!
Really awesome that you did the whole group, seeing all of them together really shows just how much work you put in
Thank you! Yall probably see more of these later haha I'm thinking of making all of the equipment in game on them~
It'd also be cool to see some of the other characters too like Doel, Lenus, Greham, etc. Dragoon forms too would be rad but so much work haha
Oh yeah I’m soo intimidated by the dragoon forms haha. I was thinking about doing Dabas since I consider him a strong contender for a future teammate mod lol
Yeah all of the other dragoons would be cool tho
He looks happier undead.
It gave him super abs, so that's a plus lol
"bet you can't say no to me this time, Dart.."'
Shana isn’t here! So there’s a chance!
@slim remnant just saw your profile banner lol
Teehee
fable is 4th divine object
some relatively recent LoD doodles :]
I like all of them. Bonus points for posting a sketch! <3
ahaha I was just referencing the concept art for that one
I wanna make little cute versions of the dragons at some point
Ooh I love them! Did you apply for the fanzine?
Thanks!!! I'd like to but I've never participated in one before
I'm kinda scrambling to set up a portfolio haha. I draw kinda slow so I don't know if I have a lot of recent examples
I applied and I’ve never done one either tbh lol
It's worth a shot I think 👀
I did take a little scroll thru the channel earlier haha, really like your models btw!!
and that lineup was super cool
Thank youu! I post a lot here lol
Anyone working on anything?
Not in the art space, but I really want to end my drought.
OMG????
I wish I was workin' on something new but I've got a personal project instead. Maybe after that
...aren't personal projects the ones you want to do?
If it's just personal, why not do the one you want? 😄
fan art isn't good for portfolio pieces, sadly
...it's also like 90% of what I make haha 
Sounds like that project is less personal and more professional then 😄
I have a firm policy that it's only a personal project if the reason is, "Cuz I wanna"
Aw man I was doing personal stuff a bit but never really got anywhere unfortunately. Art stays a hobby for me lol
I can't do that professional grind haha
IKR? It’s hard lol
I've heard so many horror stories from friends who do commissions and I just could not. I would get mean after the third unreasonable edit request
I don’t do edits after the sketch part but I also have only done free requests lately
What if the Myconidos and Toadstools were given eyes? 👀
(Sketch from 2025, thought to be lost)
10/10 would pat
fun guys fungis fung eyes
I only take commissions that I’m interested in and i don’t advertise that i do them at all. I used to do them a lot and it mostly sucks lol
yeag
I did a book cover for an old family friend also but only because he was a family friend and gave me a lot of specific direction but then free reign with the rest
Yeah like if someone knows what they want that's all well and good
I've had friends tell me about clients who change their mind about what they're actually commissioning mid-commission lol
heard a story from a friend about someone who paid for flats and then in the middle went "hey can you paint that actually?" and later when she finished painting it went "I want to have someone else animate it, can you separate the painting out into pieces?"
my friend doesn't even offer that on her commission sheet lmao
the client also changed his mind on the design of the creature several times
she did charge him more at least but like. impressive level of indecisiveness tbh
My sister is like that. I stopped taking commissions from her years ago, haha
I’ve been “too busy for commissions” every time she asks for like three years lol
Smart lol
oh Lmao
Aw man some time I'll have to make a fake brand called "Leenus' Hot Fries" lol
do it!!
Ngl Lenus is hot
I’ve yet to draw her (aside from the hot prize pic)
Those 5 polygons are damn sexy
And age appropriate
Legend of Dragoon is a work of art that encourages literacy
What else would have taught me the word "bastard?" My parents' divorce?
Genuinely I played this game first when I was quite young. I actually learned how to read partially so I could understand what the hell was going on in this game. Did it help that my introduction to the written english language was poorly translated japanese? Probably not.
Oh nice!!!
I didn’t know bastard was a bad word when i was a kid because of this game, lol
I said it casually in front of my dad and that taught me
He was probably like "How the hell do they know that word??"
lol
#1198846723225817249 message
Still thinking of this Diva by @wicked shoal
My best work tbh
Darta is an icon
Quick little idea for an OC. He came from the idea What if you could recruit other options for your team? He’s a deep sea fisher from Lidiera and an option for the Blue Sea Dragoon spirit. I picture his fighting style to be half style harpoons he can throw or wield in each hand like daggers
Thank you!
the cape having a little rippling wave and the shorts having a shell pattern....this is very nice
Yeah I really went “water water water” lmao
Delicious!
I think he’d pair well with the fishing mod 😝
I decided to name him Nereo(strong swimmer)
Also I’d love if I saw more LoD Ocs! We might need to have some ready when custom characters are able to be modded in
I'd love to draw some but my damn pen is still missing. 
Nooooo
Can you help me find my drawing pen? Please?
Manifesting……🙂↕️……pen……🙌
Check under the dresser or desk
It’s under something dark
If I find it right now I'm gonna call you my oracle.
😂
the nod emoji is so funny
on my old-ass phone it's 🙂 ↕️
it can block other characters. thank you unicode consortium
@slim remnant For some obscure reason I am checking my desk. Again. And I will be more thorough this time. If that's possible.
Yes yesss. Don’t forget the areas the light cannot touch
Oh I hope thats not what I was seeing 😝
I keep finding things that are not the drawing pen.
An HDMI cable, and a battery cover. 🥴
Aw dang maybe I’m a fraud
Maybe for drawing pens, but for everything else you ought to open a business.
"I find everything you're not looking for, which if you think about it... you're paying me the cost of finding one item but you're getting like 50 items. 50 for the price of one!"
Ayee semi-psychic
That whole search made me write a silly poem in #1408220959143366748 .
is there any chance you'd put it somewhere odd like a windowsill?
if it's a more portable tablet I can see that happening
Generally no. I used to keep it in the cylinder strap connected to the tablet. I don't remember why I removed it. It was on my desk for awhile, right near my monitor.. then nothing. It's possible I swept it into a grocery bag while clearing my desk in a hurry, which then made it to a storage box. I need to go through my boxes in the garage. Hopefully it's in one of them. The alternative is to sell my regular laptop and buy a used 2-in-1.
This moment is always so funny to me, oh your childhood friend you haven’t seen in years is safe? Yaya that’s cool TIME TO DAB
Yeasss lol
Took another shot at Nereo’s design. I added some huge fish scales
God I want him in the game, THIS IS SO COOL
Ooh that’d be awesome
Albert shouting, "Harpoon," when finishing the addition and Nereo just chucks his harpoon into the enemy and only belatedly realizes Albert was not asking for an assist xD
Oh sorry mate!
I checked another four boxes. Nothing! Grrrr
Nooo
I'm looking back through the chat and don't understand why checking boxes is upsetting 
(Drew's missing drawing tablet)
The pen, not the tablet itself thankfully.
Oh, like checking boxes for locations to look
Yes physical boxes
That old material world we came from.
I know it must still be around this house but I've ruled out so much.
I could get a replacement but I'm already considering a 2-in-1 laptop anyway. Drawing directly on the screen would help me a lot.
Highly recommend refurbished ipad and apple pencil
Although i acknowledge even refurb is fairly spendy
Ooh yeah I wholeheartedly second this as that’s what I use as well lol
I appreciate yall's experience with them, but it isn't a suitable recommendation in my case. A key part of my goal involves converting the machine to Linux. The iPad is known for being very Linux-incompatible due to Apple's closed hardware ecosystem, so it's a non-starter for that and other reasons.
Yeah that’ll do it haha
I've got a Veikk, but I don't think my particular model can be used without a computer
it is an older one tho', and it's been reliable and pleasant to use
Screen tablets are nice
Probablyyyy avoid Wacom? All I've ever heard from people is that they've had issues upon issues, having to send it back for repairs and spending months waiting for the company to send it back to them
I don't have any Linux-specific ideas unfortunately but from my knowledge Linux is pretty compatible with most things by now
-# may have to switch whenever I get around to finally building a tower haha
Yeah, I've heard mixed things about Wacom forever. I went for a Huion but it would not work with my Win10 machine at the time. I returned it, got a Gaomon, and it seemed to be the same product under the hood. It was about $50 for a large canvas area (no screen). No regrets.
For context, I want a laptop that isn't quite so bottom-of-the-barrel, but I also want better drawing ability and a sizable screen for video. Thus, to make this purchase worthwhile, it has to be a full laptop with a touchscreen that folds back for videos & drawing. Else I might as well stick to my current setup.
In case anyone else wants to know, generally you start with a Windows laptop. Linux usually runs fine. Hardware compatibility varies so just do research for the model you're targeting. I started by searching online in laptop communities like Suggest A Laptop.
One of them had a spreadsheet full of laptop models, their prices, and various specs column-by-column. I could easily see each one's screen res, RAM, whether it was a 2-in-1 or not, consumer or business model, etc. Very helpful. I used that as a base and added my own research to it, fetching latest prices and missing models.
The reality is, most 2-in-1s are super pricey. The cheapest Yoga laptop is a thousand dollars. "Cheap" ones under $500 are mostly Chromebooks, which will be too underpowered or sometimes use ARM chips. In short, the industry is a hot mess and it's not getting easier. So all I can do is compare models and hope a decent one is available in used/refurb condition.
There are some companies that build with Linux hardware in mind, but that doesn't make choosing easy.
- Starlabs' entry 2-in-1 model is a thousand dollars.
- Framework's 12" 2-in-1 is $550.. until you add RAM/SSD/charger/stylus/port options. Even before price hikes, ~$900 was a big ask for just a 12-inch screen. On top of that, Framework is (quietly) pro-AI slop.
eugh...yeah, that is tough
Doodles of the Dragoon

Thx everyone. I think I'll spruce up these doodles today
I dug up RUNFAST.png and fixed the lack of wingaling things
Love them.

omigod you actually did you, you properly rendered his armor...it is so beautiful
Nice rendering as usual....also daaaayum them cheeks!
the Kamuy is awesome
I now own a 2-in-1 laptop! First drawing is the Moon Mininto as a Wind Dragoon. Very rough, I know. I should add that this is done with my finger. I don't have a stylus yet, but I'm buying one today.
Heck yeah a minintooo
HELL YEAH
note the small eye has the big eyebrow and vice versa. 😉
