I support this. I'm against bullying, because I know how it feels and I lost a kid in my school last year because of it... Please, spread awareness.

I take a look at characters over time, and just-... It amazes me seeing how they've developed over time to what they look like now. 

Like, Shadow for example:
2015
Shadow by Astra-Phantom5654
2016
From the Darkest Depths by Astra-Phantom5654
(I will never forget how coloring those wings in the same, constant direction, multiple times, near broke my hand... But it was worth the effort)
2017
Doodle in School by Astra-Phantom5654
2018
Future Ref Possibly by Astra-Phantom5654
Just... Just WOW... All the changes in features, style, and anatomy over time... 

And Derek: 
2017
Derek and Ashvita Dragon Form by Astra-Phantom5654
Derek's Possible Full Body Dragon Form Design by Astra-Phantom5654
Denial... by Astra-Phantom5654
(I still envy that human sketch of him... Because it's one of the best human drawings I have of him, but it's a sketch...)
Pouting Derek... Is Pouting by Astra-Phantom5654
WIP Update by Astra-Phantom5654
(Those PAWS though! I don't know if I'll ever draw a pair like those again that turned out so well :XD: )
Sketch by Astra-Phantom5654
Merry Christmas by Astra-Phantom5654
And those are just within a year, I can't wait to see all my characters YEARS from now, and then look back at every picture of them, just to see how they develop...

Just a random journal about how I find character development over time very interesting though...

Contest Winners

5 min read
    I'd like to first start off by saying, I am so sorry for the long wait to announce this! I've just been so busy and/or ill since the contest ended. The end of the school year for me is coming up in a mere 6 weeks and everyone's trying to cram things in, especially with state testing now starting on Tuesday, it's just- ugh!
    But I'm here now! I had a very ill incident Friday that made me available this weekend ^^; I donated blood for the first time since I was finally of age to do so and I wanted to do it for several reasons. Fortunately, 1-3 people will walk another day with my donation :) Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure whoever saw what happened in the events that unfolded will never look at me the same way again and gossip might spread through the school, who knows :XD: Bright side is, it was all to a good cause ;w;
Anywho, let us begin! 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There were many wonderful entries that were entered into this contest and I'd like to take the time to say thank you for whoever entered. Some people sadly weren't able to get their entries done, some were, but all in all I'd like to thank you all for your time and effort.
It was honestly a hard choice to make for just 3 winners... 
And me being a softy and such, as well as since there were so few people out of 400+ people who follow me, I have decided that the honorable mentions will also get a prize as well :D 
That being said,

People who were entered into the contest but didn't get a chance to submit:


DragoInsanity
CrocodylusTheSeaRain
ashenrisen
silvershadowsong
GamerCupcake100 
Gators-and-Goblins

I understand how busy people can be so I wanted to still give these people a prize for trying their hardest to put in an entry. 
These are optional if you want to accept them or not ;w;

Prizes: 

Free full body sketch commission!

Official 400 Watchers Contest!!! (Date Extended!!)Welcome one and all! So if you've been keeping up to date, I recently hit over 400 watchers (Thank you everyone!!!) and I wanted to do something new so I'll be hosting a contest for this special occasion :D
Please read through everything before entering!

UPDATE 2:
The date has been extended to April 2nd!!!

UPDATE:
A friend of mine made some anesthetics you guys could use for colors and themes, you can find them here!
https://sta.sh/218k7t9da6ht

Create an OC for me!
Now again, this is all new to me so I'm not 100% sure how this works (but I'll update the journal if needed :) )
Bit the theme of the contest is to create an OC for me. I tend to like dragons, people (usually with abilities), and shapeshifters/half human beings (For Example: My Draken OCs who can shift forms from a human to a dragon and have special abilities of their species.)
Rules:
1. You must be a watcher
2. Comment below keyword "Dergernz" (I

3. Your comment should have a link to a journal you made with you sharing this journal and explaining what it is

Prizes:
I feel as if I couldn't limit the prizes to the things listed on my commissions list (you know, the categories like shaded, colored, sketched, etc), so instead I'll be picking a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winner!
Each winner will receive a free, full body colored drawing of their OC of choosing!

Deadline:
The deadline for the contest will be April 2nd!

If you've made it this far and read through everything, congrats! :D Once you've complied to all the rules in order to participate, I'll add your name the list below and if anything is to change, I'll be sure to update the journal and notify you all!
If anyone needs to work out a situation in which they can't submit their entry before or on the deadline, please note me and things can be sorted out! :D
Good luck everyone and remember to have fun! :wave: :happybounce: :hug:
