Well. its been a bit since i did a status update. I felt like i should do one because things have been pretty slow here. Life keeping me busy. I've barely have touched my drawing tablet this month. I'm working on a drawing for airborne august still. I have a blender scene in mind for hitting 900 watchers on DeviantArt. I'll get around to them. But man, its just been tough to do anything lately, especially art stuff. I got a big family vacation coming up so hope that helps my mood. But I'm still here and active. just slow progress.

Hello everybody! Just wanted to give a status update on what I'm working on and chat. Thanks for all the Birthday wishes by the way! meant a lot to me.
I'm still committed to the plan of focusing on my potions (lists and drawings). I enjoy doing them and their not as time consuming as full scene drawings. Their also a good art challenge is I restrict my self to a normal page (8.5 x 11) size. What I'm working on now is going back and doing new versions of some of my oldest potion drawings. The Big-feet potion, Balloon potion, Blueberry potion, and Pool toy potion I'm doing new drawings for. The old ones have been labeled as such and will be moved to scraps upon completion of the new ones (Big feet potion was never uploaded her as it was drawn before I had a tablet). I'm also got another batch of new potions. This ones got a lot of new candies! I also have moved my Master Potion list to scraps, because its out of date and time for me to make a new one! I also updated some wording on my original potion list.
So that's what I'm up to currently. I'll also upload more old Gmod pictures when I feel like it, we have only scratched the surface of those! my best ones yet to come!

Today is my Birthday! Yay! Time for cake and to blow up like a balloon.

So over the weekend I was hit by a storm of inspiration. I lost sleep over how many new ideas I came up with. Part of it I think was driven by the realization that I really have neglected my other characters (Didn't draw them at all last year). So I immediately went to fix that.

I came up with the idea of doing my potion drawings, but with other characters. As I said in my new year post. I really like doing my potion drawing because there take less time then drawing a whole scene with all 3 of my OC's. My ultimate vision with them is like making a book that features all my potions, and each one is completing a page. I REALLY WANT TO MAKE MORE PAGES! Who knows? This might even become a YCH opportunity in the future...

So what happened is I have 2 potion drawings featuring Soara nearing completion, and a 3rd that's something else but a small project, and MANY ideas for more drawings. Then I'm going to work on all my drawings that have been stuck in sketch phase. While I'm working on all that I'll be uploading a variety of stuff. Remaining Blender and Hero forge pics, and the start of Gmod pics.

So that's my new, new year plan. A pretty solid one I feel.

Hello everybody! Happy 2025! I can't believe its 2025. I want to take a moment to talk about what I've currently got planned.
First off I'm trying to do / fit more drawing into my time. I feel I didn't do enough drawing in 2024. Didn't draw Soara or Lucy at all. Lots of unfinished sketches. I hope to fix that soon with the drawing that you all voted on in November. I also like doing my potion illustrations as they give me a topic to focus on and are relatively quick to do. The circus ball potion drawing I did in just a few hours over 2 days.
Next, I'm going to share the rest of my Hero Forge stuff soon. Then I will start sharing my old Gmod pictures. This is really special to me cause it really is how this all started!
Finally: I want to start up my Ko-Fi page again. Main reason is that I've talked about doing votes for drawings, did the one on DeviantArt. But Ko-Fi has a better system for it.
I've made a silly one right now to try it out! https://ko-fi.com/polls/If-you-were.....e-i-V7V718DDGG
Also if you want to leave tips for me you're welcome to! https://ko-fi.com/edragon45
Wishing you all a happy new year!

I got a lot on my mind so let’s talk!

First order of business is the result of my first poll! Unsurprisingly Edragon will be volunteered to be the replacement balloon. Much to Soara’s relief, I was hoping she would win somehow cause then I would have to come up with how we talked her into being the parade balloon. Lucy did receive a few votes. I wonder if this poll turned out how it did because people don’t know about my other OC’s. So I’ll get to drawing this fun scene of Edragon turned into a giant parade balloon with Lucy and Soara riding in a basket below! My future polls will be less clear cut on the outcome (hopefully).

I’ve been on a large Blender spree lately. So now I have a good set of renders on standby for whenever. I’ve also come up with some more ideas for the TF factory. But those will take a lot more time to make.

Finally. I’ve decided to upload some other things. Edragon in other mediums or things that aren’t “strictly my art.” Namely, Garry’s Mod and Hero Forge! These things have played a huge roll in my life and time as an artist. I didn’t consider sharing these before because it wasn’t 100% made from scratch. But I’ve come to realize that’s not important. What important is I made something cool and original in that software that I should share it!

Hello everybody! I figured I should give an update since its been over a month since my last upload.

Work has been keeping me busy lately, and most of my free time going to videogames. Its been tough to find time to do art. I'm working on 2 potion drawings currently and planning a Blender scene for Halloween. The first drawing will be up soon, maybe as soon as tomorrow! I also have a larger drawing that been slowly making progress since summer, so if a summer pool drawing is posted in the winter that's why.
I've mentioned before that I want to do some community votes for some drawings (Over on my DeviantArt page, they have a poll system). I've come up with some good ones and the first one should be start of November (Involves someone getting turned into a parade balloon).
So sorry about the lack of uploads recently but things should be resuming here shortly!

So I have decided to scrap my plans for upcoming Blender ych commissions. I'm just not mentally in the mood for them anymore. I like being a artist that can draw what I want, when I want. And my free time has been small lately as my job schedules me for more time. So unfortunately that means I will not be doing commissions, sorry to the people who were looking forward to that but that's just not the kind of artist I am it seems.
In other plans. I will be doing polls for some drawing soon. And I'm working on a drawing for Bowser day (obviously will be late).

I update 3 drawings that had details missing or ones I felt need to be added.
-Super Pool Toy Potion: The inside of the inner tube didn't have my yellow belly as it should.
-Torterra Floats away: Added seam marks to help convey that he's a giant rubber balloon now
-Watermelon potion: I always felt something was off with how it was drawn. So I tilted him a little and added a shadow

Never thought I'd make a post like this but it was such a fun coincidence that I have too share it.
Where I work we sometimes bind books. Today someone brought in a bunch of school books to bind. One was a creative writing book full of fun prompts. While I was hole punching the pages. One of the pages that I saw was:
"Write a story about a time when you accidently turned your sibling into a giant balloon."
Absolutely made my day. I thought about all the fun things I could write about. Another great one I found was:
"Write a story about a time when you accidently shrunk yourself and had to find a way to grow back."
I felt like sharing these cause I really liked them and felt very in character for Edragon!

Hello everyone! I wanted to give an update just because I feel like it. (these are almost becoming a monthly thing).
I just got back from a week long vacation. So naturally I didn't have time to do art stuff as much this month. That said I have a lot in the works and I have A LOT planned for Juicy July / blueberry month!
Another thing was I said YCH TF factory stuff would be around now. That's clearly not happing as I want to really focus on Blueberry Month content. So probably around August.
I DO have ideas for more engagement stuff. DeviantArt allows for votes, so might make use of that sometime. Another idea I've always enjoyed is "in character" AMA's then drawing some of the responses.
So that's my thoughts for the moment. Lots of good stuff on the way soon!

Hello everyone! I felt like doing a status update / a roadmap of what I'm planning.
-I want to do more drawings over Blender. Mainly focusing on Potion illustrations. Juicy July is also coming up.
-Big news here! I'm planning on doing Transformation Factory ball or balloon YCH commissions. I'll do another post when I'm ready to do this. probably around the middle of the month or near July.
-Then, I finally wanna start drawing out the world of Edragon. Some more drawings of Edragon, Soara, and Lucky Lucy adventuring together. I have a solid plan for a comic. something I have wanted to do for a while.
So those are my current ideas on what I'm doing. Also on the note of the TF Factory, I have never seen so many new follows! I was celebrating just over 500 before that and now I'm near 600! So thank you everyone who follows and hopefully you'll enjoy what I'm working on!

Hello Everyone. I starting to see some fan art of me pop up. While I don't totally mind, it been cute so far. Edragon and my other OC belong to me.
PLEASE ASK FOR PERRMISSION TO USE ME FIRST!!!
I'll likely say yes, just please ask first.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. And Happy YEAR OF THE DRAGON! I just wanted to give an update on my plans for the new year.

-More Drawings, less Blender (at least until I get some new stuff made in Blender, like scenes and maybe Lucy and Soara.)
-More Variety. I want to say its not less inflation stuff, but more other stuff along side it. I want to branch out more as an artist.
- Commissions or Ych's Might happen at some point this year. We'll see how it goes.

So those are my loose plans for the year. I'm currently working on 2 drawing for Year of the Dragon.

Hello everyone! its been a while since I've done one of these. But I figured I should write an update.

I finally have an actual job. what this means for my uploads is, I'm not sure. I'm trying to upload at least once a month. But finding time for this is getting harder. And I want to work on some bigger stuff in Blender too, like new Scenes, making new characters.

All I ask is don't unfollow me. It cost nothing to stay following and if I don't upload regularly, it doesn't fill your feed anyway.

Hello Everyone! I have opened up a KO-Fi account!

https://ko-fi.com/edragon45

Feel free to donate whenever. No pressure. Its now here for those who want too.
Also I have a LOT of stuff in the pipeline, mainly more Blender scenes. So keep an eye out for that soon!

Time to consume cake and a totally normal and healthy amount of helium!

I hope everyone has a swell Christmas and gets some cool gifts!

Sorry for the lack of drawings lately. just haven't had the motivation to work on them lately.

Happy Holidays!

Hope you all have a fun Halloween!
Sorry I don't have a drawing this year for it. I been finding it hard to draw as of late and I've been busy with other things.

Big update to Potion list Ex 2

-Flipped the arrows on the scale potions so the point the right way; green is grow, blue is shrink.

-Totally reworked the Polarity potion. Is now The Dragon Polarity potion and is Super class.

-Reorganized the list.

Hello everyone! I'm slowly warming back up to drawing And I wanted to let you guys know some things.
-I now have an ArtStation page for my more professional works :https://www.artstation.com/emmett_smith-edragon
- Going to be using Blender more often
-Commissions and Request probably closed forever. This is very much how I feel at the moment. I'd prefer to just work on what I want. Subject to change down the long road.

I just haven't been feeling the same about my work lately. I don't know why. Also been busy with life stuff. I just need some time to straighten everything out i think. So i'll be taking a break from drawing for a while. at least a month i think. This is always been just a hobby for me, and burning out on a hobby is usually not good so. I'm taking a break. See you all later.

in case you missed it over on my DeviantArt page. I just updated/fixed two of my drawing. I know that's it unusually for an artist to go back and touch up some things but I like making them right.
Updated Watering the Garden (Torterra water balloon): Made his snout black like it should be and improved the water a bit.
Updated Teaching Edragon was a mistake (Edragon inflating Soara): She was missing her ear...

I made some more changes to some more potions!
Reworded Rubberize Potion (on list 3) and increased the duration to 2 hours
Changed Blimp potion colors (on list 1) to now accurately depict it as a grow type potion.
Cleansing potion (on base list) now works when splashed on someone.
Changed Edragon’s favorite potions on my bio page
