Description Bestiary artwork for Endless Realms , a D&D-like "pen and paper" fantasy RPG I'm working for.

Differing from other dragon concepts in the game so far, this dragon isn't a demigod or avatar of a particular elemental or cosmic force.Β  To be honest, I'm actually not too sure what the team has in mind for these guys, but asked me to come up with a ruby-themed dragon, so I decided to take inspiration from historical and pagan lore regarding rubies as relating to wealth, power and kingliness as well as health, blood and immortality.

Is this what blood diamond is suppose to be? If it is, then it's the best demonstration. If it isn't, all I know that it is a blood dragon. Good job!

First of all AWESOME DRAGON
Second, maybe he could like a patron saint of a certain family or a protective spirit or guardian
And lastly, will you be drawing any deities?

Yeah, no clue where these dragons will come from or what their deal is, but I guess we'll see

No, I don't think so.

I quite like this design. Especially the hard formed head is nice done! The Ruby-crystalline forms look quite edgy and kingly as well. Truly a wealthy dragon (and also one hard to fight... on the other hand, he will have a hard time to hide himself... not that he would need something like that).
Nice work!

He looks quite dashing and regal If my beloved Draco were colored red, I imagine he'd like this one very much. And it's Sir Sean Connery, if you please.

Hey, I have a question. I have something I want to commission from a decent artist but the one I was contacting has failed to reply. If you're willing to take payments, can you send me your pricing schedule? Thanks, and Happy Valentine's Day!

Heya!Β  I haven't been open for freelance commissions for a while, but I actually will have an opening next week: here's some info - it's got a price guide

Commissions Opening! Help us move overseas!EDIT: Winners have been selected and my auction is now CLOSED.Β  However, if you're interested in being picked in the future, you may continue to send me your commission ideas along with your desired budget, and I can hopefully pick you in the future, time permitting!
* * * * *
Finally! I will be opening for limited, digital-only commissions at the end of September/beginning of October!
Casey and I are moving overseas again to the UK for his PhD program, and so any help with our (uncomfortably tight x_x) finances during this time would be greatly appreciated!Β  <3Β  I'm normally fairly busy with Endless Realms work, but I should have a bit more free timethe next coming month or two, so I've decided to hold a SILENT AUCTION - BIDDING OPENS NOW!

Thanks love. It won't be for a while, since I just started a new job. I'm just trying to pre-plan my spending because I know a gal with your talent comes with a hefty price tag. All I need is a simple piece of my (5-tailed kitsune) alter ego and I've been wanting to support your work for some time.

I'm thinking sometime within the next 3 months or so when you get a free slot again.

jocarra In reply to Scylothia [2016-02-16 00:59:31 +0000 UTC]

I try to be fairly versatile with pricing when I have the chance - I actually kind of prefer the sort of "pay what you can" commissions where people say how much they have to spend, and I do what I can in the time it allows.Β  However, since I've been so busy with Endless Realms stuff, freelance slots tend to be highly contested :S

Ooooh, I want one! Β  Beautiful, knew it was a ruby in dragon form just looking at the claws!Β  (And before reading the title.)Β  Love the play of light and shadow on this guy.

Humm....maybe they'll want dragon's for all the precious gems, wouldn't that be awesome?

Hehe, thanks a lot :3Β  I wouldn't mind having a ruby dragon buddy, myself :b lol, a friend of mine was imagining him sort of like Draco from Dragonheart, with Sean Connery's voice and everything, haha.

I think they were wanting to do a few others, yeah

i wonder how much the scales would be if they're rubies?

jocarra In reply to ZackWriter23 [2016-02-11 21:14:18 +0000 UTC]

I'm sure some of them are, but either way, probably a lot more than actual rubies, since I'm sure "dragon-rubies" would inevitably be worth more :b
