[@Zorrelthefox]

CONGRATAULATIONS ON 7K!!! you have been one of my biggest inspiration! your art is so pretty and has inspired me to start a channel (Dif account). you have certainly earned every signal subscriber^^ i hope you can grow even more.

[@SleepyGemstone]

Tysm!! I am so glad I can help out! That is why I do what I do! I want to share my story and help others start to share theirs!! Thank you so much for your support ❤️❤️❤️

[@LunastormzOfficial]

Recently came across your channel while browsing through wings of fire art and saw this - I’m also writing a series about dragons with tribes called Lunarians and Solarians, but its quite different to your series (I have different tribes too, and it’s still in the concerting phase rn haha), so quite interested to see more about your series. I’m going to try and enter this contest, just a question: Are the things you showed as examples in this video definitely going to be in your series? I have a few ideas for things but some wouldn’t work with the examples you showed in the videos haha.

[@SleepyGemstone]

Great minds think alike!! lol To answer your question, yes, they will most likely be featured in the series but you don’t have to include them if you don’t want, I’m pretty loose with rules since I don’t have much lore posted yet! So do what you are comfortable with :)

[@Autumnartzz]

I'll try to join!!!!!!

[@LeilaSeal]

HMMM I WANNA JOIN... but I am at Utah, visting meh family SOOO IDKKKKK? Anyway, LOVE THE ART OMG! Idk if I could draw THAT good. I might try to draw the ocs DURING the wedding in the outfits, but first I need to think of it lol. ANYWAY THX Edit: I am doing it anyway... With only, like, 10 days left for the deadline. WISH ME LUCK!

@@SleepyGemstonehi Gemma! Sorry to bother you but could I have an extension as I’m doing a animation for the comp and am halfway through the sketch. I don’t think I’ll be able to finish on time due to map parts and etc so just in case may I have a small extension???

[@SleepyGemstone]

@@Moonshine366 I won’t give an extension yet. It is way way in July, so I would rather wait to see how far you have gotten by that point. Then I can give an estimate on how long to extend it :)

I know I may be a bit late to this :D But I will be sending my Art I did for this in Emails, :D Even if it is just Fanart I really enjoyed drawing these two! and I love the story you have going on so far! And thank you for hosting these

[@apoole54]

I have a few questions like what are the dragons look like is there anything I need to know about their designs and also what do the towns look like? Do they have houses or do they live somewhere else? I’m keeping what I’m going to do with secret I think you will love it though.

[@SleepyGemstone]

Great questions! I do have refs for some of the dragons mentioned in the video, but if you mean in more broad terms Solarians have more feline anatomy, upright ears, shorter snoot, feathered wings, forked horns, feathered frills, and warm, bright colors. Lunarians have more canine features, ears off to the side, feathered frills, smooth horns, half-feathered wings, longer snoot, long legs, and cooler colors. Contritans have more canine anatomy as well, no feathers, smooth horns, dark colors, ears to the side, and no frill. There are also subspecies as well but I don’t feel like typing it all out unless you would like me to lol As for where they live, they do not live in houses. The time period is most similar to Ancient Greece around the time of the glass revolution. Dragons are creative, some choose to live in burrows, caves, trees, and pretty much anything that could be used to make a shelter. Dragon homes are always unique and decorated with their favorite treasures! Gemma and Ember specifically live in the Lunarian palace which lies in a cave behind a massive waterfall. Many other dragons live there are well, the most famous and wealthy live in the palace. The palace itself is a giant stone tree, its branches connect to the walls of the cave and royals live at the very top. Hope this helps :)

[@adventuringanimations403]

Heck yessss I’m so joining, Congrats on 7k you’re a huge inspiration to me! I love Gemma’s new design btw!

@@SleepyGemstone Nppppppppppppp!!

[@benthocodon7006]

Is it okay to simplify the design a bit? I don’t have a very rendered artstyle like yours and I’m planning on drawing multiple pieces of the characters. All patterns will be the same and I will not change colors, but is it okay to have less gradients on top of things like patterns? (Not removing things that span over large parts of the body like the legs or the gradient on the majority of the tail and dark part of the wing)

[@SleepyGemstone]

Yeah! That is completely okay! Thank you for asking :)

[@tiramisii]

QUESTION: So like idk if Lunaria is always in nighttime, but if not, what time of the day is the wedding gonna be, AND, would they be considered husband and wife or mates?

[@SleepyGemstone]

Lunaria is not always nighttime. The wedding is during the day and it is on Solaria, the go to a resort owner by Gemma’s grandparents :) They could be considered either but mostly husband and wife

[@tiramisii]

Ok this is really helpful Tysm!!
