Some random interesting fruits for thought that came to me: - Minnow became a healer to have a role, to contribute to her village. Even though they're not related by blood, the dragons of the village are tight-knit, just like siblings - Always meeting new dragons. Always going to new places. Always experiencing new things. Instead of having a RainWing's constantly-shifting scales, Jazz just keeps going with his ever-changing lifestyle openly, without a care in the world - Her very name being a nod to "impure" (jasper is a mix of several different minerals), a trait that never helped Jasper's temper. So what? Dragons avoided her anyways for being a hybrid. Underneath all that, Jasper hoped she'd be free of the prejudice - finding somewhere she'd be accepted just as she were. If only there was such a place... As for my creative process, I always do the character's background first, then come up with how they'd actually look (I'm kinda out of my depth for any sort of drawing 😅) P.S. The colour palettes for your new OCs are INSANE! I love Jasper's vibrant stripes and contrasting markings, especially 🤩
The gradient on Jazz’s torso is to die for!!😁😁😁I also love the little circles on Minnow too. It looks like that design that almost got third in your Koi contest.
I know, I know, its now a What If episode, but I have a few ideas! 1. What if Moonwatcher didn't have her abilities, or if she hatched in the volcano? 2. What if Cricket could be hive minded? 3. What if Luna and Blue never met/didn't know they were half siblings? Anyway, hope you can find some inspiration! (this is a repost of a coment from an older video fyi)
I cannot even begin to explain my level of just-pure awe stricken amazement at your level of skill! Your so utterly talented, I honestly wish I had your level of pure skill to draw, and speak, and have ideas that spring and pop! Gotta say Cypress! Your amazing me every single time you draw, your voice is so soothing! Thank you so so! Much for sharing your artwork with all of us!! 🥰🐉
:o you have definitely given me some oc designs lol I dont draw WoF dragons, never truly got into it, so I just go with the flow and add whatever I want, lately I've gotten bored of the usual things I'd add, and now I've gotten some new designs I could draw!! Thank you for yet another amazing video, I honestly can't beileve I've been here as long as I have, I think its been about... 3yrs? It's been awhile and I'm here for the ride! Thank you for all that you do
You are getting absolutely pro at this! You did so well on the colors and even the color palettes were drawn and set up so neatly and nice! And man, who doesn't love a good OC? I'm loving your stuff! ❤❤❤❤🎉
ok, my favorite was definitely jazz!!! I honestly love the bell-bottom feet. They really helped the design come together!!! usually when I make ocs, I choose a hybrid, and then start. I haven't tried a mood-board or color palette before, actually. as I draw the circles and basic shapes, I try to think what features and colors of both tribes would go together and NOT look like a hot mess. anyways, keep going Cyprus!!! i love these vids!
I LOVE YOUR NEW OCS! The character designs and backstories are awesome! You really do inspire me to draw dragons. Hope you enjoy my gift that will be posted next Sunday (June 25th)! I drew Cyprus (only the headshot) and I'm pretty proud of it! I hope you love my fanart!
Personally, I start with doodling out a few sketches and then I add accessories that inspire their back stories. Example; my oc Emerald’s horn ring inspired her twin sister, Sapphire, who has the other one. Those both came from her late mother. Also, I might not color a dragon until they’re broken in, so I can get ideas about their family and such. Also, these three are SO cute. Personally, I like Minnow the most, her bubble design is adorable! I always forget about little things like that; those make such a big difference but make a big difference!
DelIsIoUs (I will be adding more to this comment the more I watch) Also first! OH MY GOSH I LOVE JAZZ I mean I love all of them but Jazz MY FAVORITE And so I continue to love your style And now I am going to go draw dragons! Hope you have an awesome week as well Cyprus!
I loved all of these dragon's so much. Can you please do another ones of these, please. My favorite one was, Jasper- the way you took the design and beauty from the snake omg it was so good.
Your my favourite RU-vidr Cyprus!!! Probably the best RU-vidr on RU-vid! So since I love you so much may you give me a favour? Can you design Clarisight for me? She’s a silkwing. Here is a small bit of her story I wrote: When Clarisight hatched she was like any other silkwing dragonet. Her father had been taken to bloodworm hive and her mother died due to a hivewing sting. ( She worked for Cricket’s family). Clarisight leaned at the moment she hatched she hated hivewings!!! So over the years she made friends with Blue Luna Io and Swordtail. She had deep blue and purple scales and purple eyes. She talked back to the hivewing guards and said no most of the time. You don’t want to know how many times she ended up on misbehaviour’s way!!!
I'll be waiting to see ur art their Cyprus! Cause ur art is so amazing! (I just joined ArtFight so I only have one of ALL my characters posted on my ArtFight Account)😄
Jasper design is my favourite I love it and the eyes it look so cute I don’t think I could do it her colour is beautiful I think hers is definitely A vipers colour
watching you make ocs makes me want to revamp my wings of fire ocs.. my main one is Spark, he's a SkyWing who deserts the army very early in his carreer as a soldier
Hi, @Cyprus . May I ask you to do a RU-vid video on how you do your art business or how you make commission forums and how you do good at selling your art ABC what inspired you to do so and how did you learn? I'm getting into the idea of this kinda stuff and so I thought I might ask an awesome fellow artist how to get started and etc. Keep up the good work, @Cyprus !
What drawing tablet do you use? EDIT: sorry I actually found it in one of your videos 😅 *is inattentive* P.S. Your art is soooo AMAZING!!!! You helped me become an artist 😊
Oh my gosh, these designs are stunning! I love them so much. If I have the chance to, definitely going to shoot some attacks your way. My artfight is constellationart !
I’m making three dragons: Oracle, Imperial, and Perception. Oracle is a SeaWing NightWing hybrid who lives in the sea. She’s a prophet, but keeps it secret. She used her powers for services, mostly. When her tribe found out, they were horrified and banished her. Imperial is a NightWing SandWing who lives in the desert. She can make any dragon’s power stronger. She used it for wars, but decided she worked for no one and strikes out on her own. She later met Oracle and they became close friends. Perception can read minds. She’s a RainWing NightWing hybrid. She got bored (times a million) of living in the rainforest and went to the Mud Kingdom. She hated it there too because it was ‘too muddy’. She was out walking one day and accidentally got stuck in quicksand. When she was about to die, a MudWing found her and saved her. His name was Sandstone. They became friends, and then eventually Perception met Oracle and Imperial. Pls reply any advice or suggestions or compliments or whatever! Thanks, Cyprus! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m only 3 minutes into the video and I already love it, one question i have tho, can i snatch a few design elements from these? If not, thats quite alright, i just wanted to ask❤ love your vids Cyprus!❤
How do you send fan art? And also I really wish I knew you in real life! I mean I have so many questions for you and I just can't put all of them in one comment. But seriously, the fan art. And also, you you draw on a computer or do you connect your tablet to your computer? I've been trying to find Krita on an iPad but I guess its only available on computer. ( I've been taking lessons from you and know I have my own channel. The views are not bad but how do you get a lot of subs? I have only 20 now! )
I think I have an answer from your style, and I know you add eyebrows too which is awesome, but do you think EYELASHES, belong on dragons?? I’ve been adding them for a while to mine when I sketch but I was wondering what other thought. Also, I can NOT wait for ArtFight!!
CYPRUS I HAVE NEWS!! PLEASE READ THIS COMMENT!! SOME BUSINESS HAS STOLEN LOTS OF YOUR ART SUCH AS THE BLUE WITH A PRETZEL ONE AND I THINK LIKE YOUR SUNNY ONE ( one of them pretty sure) ILL SEE IF I CAN SEND A LINK OF THE WEBSITE FOR YOU!!
Request: try and make a Hybrid named "Magpie" a nightwing-skywing hybrid. Based on the colours of the Australian swooping Magpie. You may guve ut a nickname "Swoop" or to your personal choice.
HOW DID YOU MAKE JAZZ'S COLOR PALETTE SO GOOD! USUALLY ONLY PURPLE AND GREEN WOULD GO TO GETHER NOT RED UNLESS YOU AD MORE RED TO PURPLE [wich would make it a magenta color] also next time you do [tribe]/silk hybrid decide wich is the dominant tribe the [insert tribe] or the silkwing if its silkwing = wing buds if its the other tribe = wings
