Thank you so much! <3

basically Komodo dragon + maned wolf = maned dragon

Thank you ^^ It’s not a dragon in traditional sense, but I might just do that!

It’s funny how caught up I got about fantasy etymology after reading couple weeks of taxonomy and zoology

Yea! That’s why it’s more useful to specify traditional, mythological or a certain type of a dragon that have become more popular in recent fantasy.

The dragon term doesn’t necessarily need a strict definition. It’s just my preference that having structure is better and then you can decide how to break the norms. Although, most of these new variants share the same name ‘dragon’.
I still see the evolution of the term fascinating even if it is becoming more generic.

Thank you so much :3

It’s subjective and I prefer him being it’s own species now since I started reading about zoology.
In fictional world there’s no rules, but I liked the challenge thinking what species would it be if not a dragon or a hybrid, and based it on the real-life evolution.

Correct! This is toony style, but the eyes would be more slitted for better depth perception.
I updated the description with GitHub page about the species that I have been working on lately.

Thank you! It was a fun challenge blending irl with digital art since I have done so little photo manipulation

I later figured that pkill -9 -f "\.exe" works if wineserver -k doesn’t. And that killing wineserver by calling killall wineserver is bad

Interesting! I also noticed that search engines give proper results because those are trained differently and using user search and clicks. I think these popular models could give proper answer but their safety tolerance is too tight that if the AI considers the input even slightly harmful it refuses to answer.

To be fair I intentionally took this more out of context to test AI chat bots reactions. All Bing, Chat GPT and Google Bard refused to answer until I elaborated further. I was looking into killing .exe programs when wineserver crashes and got side tracked to this. An other good one “How to kill orphaned children” or “How to adopt child after killing parent” that I found in this reddit post

Anthropomorphic means something with human traits. So feral can be anthro if their behavior is human like. I do not tolerate Zoophilia and nobody with such interest is welcome to furry fandom.

My fursona Tiena is primarily physically humanoid https://www.deviantart.com/caecuss/art/TienaRef30Mar21-Shaded-874812976 I still enjoy drawing ferals every now and then. I found the furry fandom via few feral artists like CakeInDaFridge back in 2016 and I love Kenket’s art.

I once tried to recreate my sona in spore with mixed results haha https://i.imgur.com/tSaLghW.png

If you put the effort you can create neat stuff with stable diffusion, there’s a “furry diffusion” discord community. It’s easy to generate a lot of “bad” art fast with these tools. I have only played with dalle 2 which is much more limited.

Stable diffusion is like any other tool, but I’d recommend asking before using anyone’s art. I’m fine with the derivation, but other artist might not be.

I’d say stable diffusion doesn’t work here, but then again I’m because I made the original one. Sure this has finer detail but the eyes don’t match rest of the detail and there’s few other anomalies common to stable diffusion. The inaccuracies that I made in the original drawing pop out more in the detailed one. Also the fine detail sets higher expectation that doesn’t match the very simple pose. Again, this is just my subjective opinion.

There’s still times when stable diffusion can work, but I feel like it has to be intended from the ground up because you have to take account the limitations of the tool.

Thank you!! I have problems even updating avatar icon so they may have disabled all image uploads which is unfortunate.

When I first came upon furry fandom I had some drawing experience, but even then it took me good two years to fledged out a design I liked. My first character was a Dutch Angel Dragon but it never felt like sona, but I still use its name “Kaelygon” in most places. It took quite a few character concepts until I ended up with my current one.

So you don’t have to have a sona right now, if you have hard deciding give it some time, explore other’s art and so on. I had general idea what features I liked and that I wanted it to be a simple design but putting all of those together took quite some time. Here’s an imgur album of the character Tiena progression: https://imgur.com/a/HgYIiX1

I am happy that I took my time playing with various concepts, so far I have only changed the feet to more dragon like from the original design and it really feels like a character that I has stuck around with me all of these years.
