Inspired by fellow Anvilites, I now have community achievements for my world on @worldanvil.com! Instead of the typical #WorldAnvil style badges, I've made mine in the style of military medal ribbons. The Dragonguard is a military-like force after all. :)

A stylized portrait of a teal-and-cream dragon named Luthirenne posed in a semi-seated position against a muted purple background with a thin glowing rectangular frame. The dragon has smooth, dark teal scales with a pale cream underside and large wings folded partly open, showing soft beige membranes. A long, fin-like mane of translucent aqua frills flows from the head down the neck and tail, giving a watery, elegant appearance. Luthirenne wears delicate gold jewelry draped across the chest with small pink accents. The dragon’s expression is playful and slightly curious, with bright pink eyes and a small smile, one claw lifted near the mouth in a thoughtful gesture. The name 'Luthirenne' appears vertically along the left side, and the piece is labeled 'After Silence' and signed 'Hatwolf 2026.'

Luthirenne prefers to be alone. She becomes terribly anxious around others, constantly worrying her venomous scales might accidentally hurt someone. But if you manage to pique her curiosity, you might make her forget her fears... even if it is just for a moment.

A stylized portrait of a black-and-gold dragon posed in a semi-seated position against a muted purple background with a thin rectangular frame. The dragon has sleek black scales contrasted by a bright golden underbelly, horns, and facial accents. Large, curved horns sweep upward from its head, and its wings are partially spread, revealing warm orange membranes. The dragon’s expression is calm and self-assured, with slightly narrowed blue eyes and a poised, almost regal posture, one foreclaw lifted near its chest. The name 'Suldren' appears vertically along the left side, and the piece is labeled 'After Silence' and signed 'Hatwolf 2026.'

Please, don't bother Suldren, when he is busy. Or pretending to be busy, so he doesn't have to talk to anyone. Being the First Dragon of Hoardwater Vale is a lot of responsibility!

Enjoy this sneak peak of the VN I still work on!

A soft, painterly winter forest scene with tall, dark pine trees dusted in snow and warm sunlight filtering through the trunks. In the foreground, a small brown dragon with feathered wings and a fluffy chest walks through the snow, its head lifted and expression calm and curious. Gold bands circle its front legs, and its long tail curls upward behind it. In the background, a small bird flies between the trees, catching the light. The overall mood is quiet and serene, with gentle contrasts between warm sunlight and cool snowy shadows.

I want to reshare some art of my dragons today, this one is made by @hushamitash.bsky.social

This one actually fits quite well in Malheura's story. Showing her when she was still younger, in her home, the Sagewood, before she had to flee into exile with her brother.

A wide, dynamic fantasy battle scene split by color: cool blue tones on the left and fiery purples and reds on the right. On the left, an anthropomorphic wolf in white and blue clothes braces in a fighting stance, projecting a glowing circular magic circle, casting a projectile spell. Behind him, a tall owl-like winged figure in flowing blue and white garments spreads large feathered wings, casting magic with a raised hand. On the right, three muscular, hyena-like creatures with glowing eyes charge forward aggressively; one of them is hit by the an exploding magic projectile. Sparks and magical energy collide between the two sides. In the middle, a stylized owl logo appears with the text ‘Open Sourcerer’ overlaid on faint programming code, emphasizing a blend of magic and technology.

For the last months, I have been working as the concept artist behind Open Sourcerer! We finally have a steam page, so... please, share and wishlist it! 😁

It's a cool 2D action platformer, that teaches you how to use JavaScript!
