🏜️🔆 In honor of Cyno’s 2nd story quest
.
After I watched yesterday’s stream, where it was announced that Cyno’s getting his second story quest (as he should!) I simply had to draw him (because, let’s be honest, he’s the ultimate GOAT and I’m super happy we’ll get to see the Sumeru F4 again 🥰)
🐉 Dragons of Teyvat, week 4 - Stormterror Dvalin
.
The Erstwhile King of the Skies has arrived!
Dvalin was actually the reason why this series started at all. One day I was listening to his amazing boss OST and the idea of creating a dedication to Teyvat dragons came to my mind. And it’s always been my dream to draw him because his design aka sea slug is incredibly pretty. This baby was a lot of fun and I consider him a peak of my dragon creations so far.
Only one dragon to go! The last dragon is Neuvillette and he will be published on the 15th of May.
🐉 Dragons of Teyvat, week 3 - Azhdaha
.
The sealed Overlord of Geovishaps is here! With Azhdaha, I had a pretty clear image of what I want him to look like since we have an in-game 3D model of him and I wanted to stick to the original as closely as possible.
And not gonna lie, I knew Azhdaha was going to be the most challenging of all the dragons because of all the crazy details 😩
The next dragon is Dvalin and he will be published on the 8th of May.
🐉 Dragons of Teyvat, week 2 - Apep
.
The second dragon in my series Dragons of Teyvat is out! We know very little of Apep and we’ve never actually fully seen him, so I had to get really creative here. However, I believe he’s snake-like, and there are cute flowers blooming all over his mane.
The next dragon is Azhdaha and he will be published on the 1st of May.
🐉 Dragons of Teyvat, week 1 - Rex Lapis
.
The first dragon in my brand new series Dragons of Teyvat is out! I wanted to make this series in a watercolour-vibe, with some simple inscriptions, so that it looks like pages torn out of an encyclopaedia. Yes, I was partially inspired by the dragon book from HTTYD 😄
The next dragon is Apep and he will be published on the 24th of April.

Of Tatoos and Flowers
Recently I read an AMAZING wriolette fanfiction by Cappuccinoran, Of Tattoos and Flowers, you can find here.
It’s a modern AU story, where Neuvillette is a gentle florist who opens his and Furina’s flowers shop right opposite a tattoo shop, where a tattoo artist Wriothesley works as an artist. And well you wouldn’t guess, these two INSTANTLY fall in love and I just had to draw it with a kind permission of the author.
I was so excited to show it to you because it took me so.damn.long! I hope you like it!
Zhongli and Neuvillette dragon fight
🐉 Nothing will stop me from rendering judgment on each of The Seven. As the Archon who won the Authority of Geo, Deus Auri must be called to trial!
.
MILD SPOILERS FOR 4.0! I absolutely love the beef Neuvillette is having with Zhongli, just two old ass dragons hissing at each other like angry cats. My little shipper-self imagined they’d be fighting over what Neuvi’s done to Childe and Zhongli absolutely furious about it - the blue ball between them is the elemental power that Childe lost and the dragons are both trying to reclaim it.
Also, this art was inspired by an old Chinese painting: Lords of the Chinese World: the dragon and phoenix
I’m currently working on a collab piece for a fanfiction by Cappuccinoran, Of Tattoos and Flowers. It’s a beautiful Wriolette piece, where Neuvillette is a gentle florist and Wriothesley is a tattoo artist working in a parlour opposite his shop.
Words can’t describe how much I love this trope ❤️ and the fanfiction is SO.GOOD you should totally go and read the hell out of it!
