I didnt really have the colors i wanted for this one, but i think i made the best of it with what i has!

Tiny canvas painting of an axolotl. Instead of the usual pink/albino, its in classic brown-grey coloration, lots of stippled dots to create a gradient. The background is a bright turquoise with a few rendered bubbles. The axolotl looks especially derpy.

May i offer you a Weird Unicorn in these trying times?

Artist’s hand holding a tiny 2”x2” canvas with paint marker on it. It depicts a weird long snouted unicorn in shades of yellow and pink, that almost seems to glow against a black background. Theres a copper gold orb around the tip of the horn.

My knives got dull halfway through and i had to do some improvising so its a touch messy, but i still had fun with it!

Black and white scratchboard piece. A salamander perches upon clumps of moss, drops of dew or rain likewise balanced on the fronds. Leaves of unseen plants peek in on the top of the piece, dripping more water that the salamander is trying to catch on its tongue

HZD dragon Avalon

Digital watercolor of a massive bulky robotic traditional dragon. Forward facing horns and the tip of the tail end in spiraling drill tips. Feather-shaped blades adorn thick heavily armored limbs, and frame the blunt nosed face.

Eel? Eel! EEL.

Cat Caro Comics and Illustration@studyofmonsters· Jun 7

HZD style robot dragon Kairos!

A digital watercolor of a robotic dragon. Its covered in reflective blades and interlocking plates down its long flexible body. Each foot ends in three massive blades for claws, and a flexible frill of metal runs along each forelimb, and from the back legs down the tail, ridged to fold accordion style. More of the great blades are mounted along it, with the tail ending in a great layered fan of them

Ikor Ch2 7/7

Cat Caro Comics and Illustration@studyofmonsters· Jun 5

Commission for @rarden.bsky.social

A feathered serpentine dragon, the belly smoothly overlapping emerald plates, the back deep blue mane of spiky feathers, each with a golden orange shaft. The wings are the same orange, except for the outermost pinions, which match the belly. The dragons face has an orange marking like a muzzle, and the tip of each of its toes is silvery grey.

The same dragon from the previous image, but now snarling, and slight with blue electrical sparks. The toe tips and center of each feather glows luminously with electrical static.

HZD style dragon Hyperion

Watercolor robotic dragon. Overlapping plate armor runs along its torso, and a series of small vents along the back create a mane of fire from head to tail. Said tail ends in a series of wicked folding blades

HZD style dragon Valakadyn

A robotic sea serpent type dragon, covered in massive fins and frills that are composed of tiny sensory panels. Long antennae stick out from its head and back, ending in water quality sensors.

What’s that? Another robot dragon!? You don’t say! This one is Derecho!

Digital watercolor of a robotic dragon with vaguely birdlike characteristics. Its wings are covered in electromagnetic paneling, with great blades like feathers at the tips. Its horns are reminiscent of electrodes and tesla coils, and its front feet have raptor-like retractable claws

Cat Caro Comics and Illustration@studyofmonsters· May 29

Ikor Ch2 (part 5/7) This is probably one of my favorite sequences, visually.

Cat Caro Comics and Illustration@studyofmonsters· May 29

Another HZD style dragon comm, this one is named Argos!

Digital watercolor- a robotic dragon. Sensory wires and cords are braided along much of its length, and some droop loosely off the chassis. The wing tips end in great industrial hooks, and it digs at the ground with earth churning claws, despite its lanky frame

Sphinx! Having so much fun with these… they’re really great for color theory practice.

Posca paint marker on mini (3x6inch) canvas.
A portrait of a golden sphinx with midnight blue wings, adorned copper and jade jewelry, including ear plugs, dangling ear pendants, a choker, and a breastplate with a scarab carved on the front.
The background is a vivid vermillion, and the tips of the wing feathers end in sky blue

This was my first serious preplanned piece with the paint markers, learned a lot doing it!

Posca paint marker drawing— a red dragon has draped itself under a small waterfall, the water running over it in blue trickles. The tip of its tail, which sticks out of the water, glows softly, attracting fireflies.

Scratchboard from last night, just playing with texture and lighting!

Scratchboard (white lines on black page) of a great glowing draconic face, mostly just the mouth, eyes, and nostrils visible glowing from within. Stylized flame and smoke pours from the mouth. The whole thing is ringed by starkly lit crystals

Cat Caro Comics and Illustration@studyofmonsters· May 24

HZD style digital watercolor of a friends dragon OC named Horizon… So you could call it… Horizon^2

A robotic dragon depicted in ink and watercolor washes. The dragon is serpentine and absolutely covered in solar-panel frills (including the wings), and has a complex antenna array for antlers around his head.

Sometimes you just gotta draw an anglerfish.

The traditional-media specific issue of “oh god it looks really good even just half done, what if I fuck it up trying to do more!?”
