Description Moonrise, our favorite mage and yours truly (not actually though, but you get the point).

This is fancy! Moonrise in her full mage get up. She wears three golden rings to designate her rank as archmage and carries a driftwood staff (for decoration only, she rarely uses it). Etched on her robes and stole are runes from nonexistent languages of great power. Most of the time however, she just wears the grey robe without the cloak and stole.

Something I forget to draw a lot is the purple highlights Moonrise has on her spines and wings. It's a trait that sets her apart from most ice dragons and Icefirn especially, since they look a bit similar. Moonrise is actually moon-aligned, not ice-aligned like most dragons would expect. She's been living in Reeims for so long that she no longer has the cold-tolerance most ice dragons have. Between her and Icefirn, Moonrise has wider spines and is a whole lot less sharp. Her scales also a lot more dull compared to Moonrise's. In fact, Icefirn's scales are unnaturally dull for a dragon from Celias. There's a reason why, but that's a story for another time.

Design Notes:
- oval proportions, really skinny
- normally proportioned neck, but longer tail, long torso
- unnaturally thin limbs, back legs shorter than front legs
- thin, flexible talons
- small and relatively round features

Other Reeimsians:
King Garwyn
Queen Icefirn

Can you teach me how to do your style? I love how cartoonish and unfinished yet completed it looks. Its hard to describe but it just looks truly satisfying and great

thank you!
my whole style spins off the fact that I'm lazy
so yes, it is cartoonish and definitely unfinished
I've only recently learned to make everything look satisfying by making the background a different color and increasing the transparency of the colored layer and line art so everything gets the same hue
that way I don't have to worry about color theory and stuff
so yeah, that's kind of how I do everything, but I encourage you to keep building your own style!
