Golden
This is a picture that I originally had to do for school. The assignment was to make a obscure thing. two things that don’t go together, weird illusion, like a person with butterflies coming out of their head. And then paint it. What i came up with was Golden. If you have read her profile, you know she was a cat in her physical form then changed to her true form as a dragon. So I put the two together, the one from my assignment didn’t look as good as I’m not great with physical paint but I redrew it digitally and it looks so much better. I made a cat dragon. I wanted to really emphasize the cat part as obviously the dragon part comes across easily. I used the same colors her dragon form has. I love this version of her and believe this is a version she changes into frequently. This has become my new logo. Golden was on my original one but now she is updated and outstanding.
Arrow
This is a portrait of my dog, Arrow. I used this picture as a way to get myself back into drawing. I went through a period of depression and didn’t want to draw, every time I try it just didn’t work. So I took lots of time with it and allowed myself to be okay with things. I didn’t let myself get frustrated. I’m sure this picture has flaws but it was my entry back to drawing. Through this I found some new some new technics as well.
Blue Belle
This is a redesign of an older mlp character. I got her funko pop and loved the design but thought there could be a lot added to her. So I created a character from that. This character is not in MLP: Friendship is Magic she is originally from Generation one. She was apart of the collectors in 1982. My character of Blue Belle is very adventures and a botanicas. She travels the world with her satchels collecting nature and researching it. She has a very happy, high spirited personality. She has a hard time staying in one place for long, because of this she has a hard time making friends. Everyone seems to love her but she moves around so much she never gets too close to anyone. She does revisit those she has liked in the past tho.
Orchid Crystals
This is a sticker design I made featuring purple crystals with the moon phases inside of them. I felt it need more so I added one of my favorite flowers, the orchid as a being rapping around the crystal. Had some difficulty with this one as you can see but was very proud of it.
Rose Fighter
I think this is one of my favorites. Not really sure where I got the inspiration, more of a need of a mental break and this is the result. I used a lot of things I have learned my first year in school and I believe my art has improved. I love her so much I might make her a character. But to state the obvious, she is a dapple grey unicorn wearing armor with rose accessories. Grey dapples are my favorite color for horses and was unsure if I could pull off the color but i think it worked well.
Viper as a Drowned
This is a picture of my cat Viper but transformed into one of the Minecraft mobs, a drowned zombie. I love Minecraft and its interesting that him and all his siblings have drastic differences in personality. So I plan to make all of them into different mobs. I feel it might be a bit unfinished but I got a new phone in the middle of drawing it so I tried to finish it quicker.
Fly by your Heart
I love both butterflies and the anatomical heart, so i put them together. I think its a really simple design but very powerful. I made it as a sticker design.
Love of the Ocean
Okay so this was the last picture of one of my hardest classes, Topics in Color. The project was to take a memory and turn it into a picture using everything we had learned over the course. I love the ocean have a pretty amazing experience the first time I saw it. We were driving out of the Redwood national forest in California and came out of the forest along the cliff of the ocean. I feel this really brought my memory to life. It is also abstract, which is not my favorite but i was able to work with it.
Mason’s Birthday
For my boyfriends birthday I attempted to draw a picture of him. I am not great with people but it was a good attmept. I am getting better with people.
Bastet
Alright my friends, this one I love. I am a Draconic Wiccan however I still work with other deities from time to time. A current deity I am working with is the Egyptian Goddess Bastet. She is the Goddess of feminine power, love, strength, protection and of course cats. I tried to portray all of this and in the way she appears to me. If you look on this site you will see I’m not great with people so this is a huge feat. Of course there’s lots of things to improve but I also see lots of improvement. I see her as a strong but calm individual, though don’t mistake, she will fight for what’s right and those she protects in an instant. She is also the first of my art to have become a speedpaint! Which you can watch on Luna’s Dragons YouTube link at the top of the page.
Pumpkin Snake
Another fun one, I love snakes and with Halloween coming up wanted to do something geared towards my loved Samhain. I really like how this came out and I used some techniques I learned from my observational class including one point perspective and mark making.
Shatter the Moon(MlP Characters)
This is a fun concept from Hasbro’s My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic. In my alternate story Celestia still banishes Luna to the moon, but when she returns as Nightmare Moon, she hates the moon. It was her prison and her downfall. So she destroys it and becomes Queen of the Night. The picture shows young Luna struggling to raise the moon and then Nightmare Moon destroying it. This is a short story I may expand on for fun, to create more of a story.
Snowfur(Warrior Character)
This is my trial for seeing if I can draw cats. Cats are something I struggle with and really just wanted to see if I could do it. This is Snowfur one of my favorite characters from the Warrior Cat series by Erin Hunter.
Scarlet Tiger Moth(Callimorpha Dominula)
Hello everybody! This is the Scarlet Tiger Moth. I tried to do a different pose that showed both the top of her wings as well as the underside. I didn't think it was going to work out at first but it did in the end. Even the herb was iffy in the start. The Tiger Moth is sitting on a Common Comfrey plant because this is their most common food source. They are a day moth so I made the background very bright with variants of red, blue and yellow.
Some facts about the Scarlet Tiger Moth:
Their species name is Callimorpha Dominula.
They are a day moth.
They fly from May to June in the afternoon and early evenings.
The are larger in size.
They are primarily in England and Wales.
The are mostly found in wetlands and along the coast line.
Their common food source is Comfrey, Hemp Agrimony and Hound's Tongue.
They rarely have yellow, blue and black hind wings.
Luna Moth(Actias Luna)
Luna Moth! I remember seeing these when I was younger and plan on doing a moth series. I liked doing this and it was a faster piece. I like how it turned out and am proud specifically of the transparency of the wings and the overlap. They are often associated as the moon goddess which is why I added the moon and the designs on the moth. I wanted to add other associations with it but couldn’t find anything good to put with it so I included its species name.
They can be a symbol of pregnancy or transformation and cycles.
Few Facts:
Luna moths don't have a mouth because their sole purpose.
They are nocturnal.
They only live about a week.
They are native to North America.
They are one of the biggest moths in North America.
They have a wingspan of four inches.
Because they are big and flashy they have ways to avoid preditors.
With camouflage as a primary but also with their long tail wings they are able to fly circles around bats to disorient them.
Flicka and I
Continuing my attempts at portraits, this is one of my favorite pictures of me and my mare Flicka. I had dressed up in one of my prom dresses(because I never get to wear it) and took pictures out in the woods with my pretty girl. I did not draw the background as for this I’m more focused on the portrait. This took a lot longer then I thought it would but there are a lot of things i like and am actually pretty proud of it. There are many things that need work but over all a good starting point. Fingers suck but I tried. The actual picture is below for reference.

Mason and I
I am starting to try to draw people and improve things I have avoided because i’m not great at it. To start I drew a portrait of me and my boyfriend. There is a lot that didn’t work, a lot that I don’t like, and some that was done right. I am still proud of it as its my first major attempt at people and a portrait. This particular picture was of us in Seattle waiting to go up the Space Needle. The actual picture is below for reference.

Shadowmere-Skyrim’s 10th anniversary
Bethesda announced that for Skyrim’s 10th anniversary they are inviting players to record themselves or make art describing their favorite part of the game and share their stories of the game. Some that they like the most have a chance for their work to show up in the next game but it’s more for the fans to show appreciation of the game. I love Skyrim and has been one of my favorite game for a long time. Shadowmere is also my favorite part so I drew Shadowmere. The Dark Brotherhood quest is also the moment I became so engrossed in the game’s lore. I love how it turned out as I put a lot of work into the background and was something I avoided a lot. I have Shadowmere running on his own with the Brotherhood mark on his chest. This was both fun and frustrating to do and i’m glad i got the opportunity to express how i love the game.
Arrow
Portrait I did of our new puppy Arrow. He is a cross between a German Shepard and Belgian Shepard. I am starting to do more portraits to try to work on things I know I’m not good at. The actual picture is below for reference.
Arrow’s reference picture
Grandma Witch
This one is a portrait of my Grandma who passed a long time ago. It is a portrait however I have my suspicions that she was a secret witch so i added the tattoos. The jewelry I made as gemstones to be witchy however she always wore jewelry so that’s nothing out of character. The outfit is nothing in particular either but something she would definitely wear. I am proud of this both because I was close to my grandma and drawing her was a big thing. Also the fact that I was able to draw a person as I am usually very bad at it. The pose is a little different than I had wanted but still came out. I was going to do a background but honestly like it without one. Feel as though a background would take the focus off of her too much.
From Cat To Dragon
As we already know, the Storm Dragon Golden was a cat in a previous life. This piece shows her as a cat with her spirt dragon form. I love this piece and it is very simple but emotional for me. I have also learned that cats are decedents of dragons, so this piece could go to show the connection between cat and dragon as well. I have found that I struggle with drawing cats, so I am happy with the way the cat turned out as well.
Death Pheasant
I really like this picture. Turned out way better than I thought it would, I have never drawn a bird before. I got the idea to do a pheasant while on vacation and driving through Montana, we saw so many of them. But of course it cant just be a bird, and the background really ties everything together which I am proud of. I am trying to do more backgrounds as that is not something I’m great at.
Happy Mother’s Day 2021
For Mothers Day I made my Mother’s Champion Barrel Horse into a My Little Pony sticker. This was very fun as I like drawing horses and MLP characters, and I have known Ebony all my life. I was able to put her personality and determination into her character. Some of the characteristics I put in are her ears pointed back to initiate her focus. The braid in her tail to help it stay out of her way when running. And I intentionally made her legs longer than usual to show she is a runner and racer. Ebony Empress is her real name, though we all just call her Ebony, I thought it made a good MLP name as well. I outlined her in blue because my mom had her tack blue all the time. I made it into a sticker so that she could put it anywhere she wanted. So Happy Mother’s Day!
The Wendigo Wolf
Similar to the Wendigo Bat, this is another one of the Wendigo’s morphs that he can shape shift into. The Witch is not sure how many morphs he has but the wolf is definitely the prominent one. He is a giant black wolf with sharp teeth and claws. His eye’s however depict the same golden orange as the Wendigo’s. The Wendigo attacked the Witch in wolf form but was unsuccessful. He may be foolish to revel so much about himself to the Witch.
Violet Fire’s Magic
This is gonna be one of my favorites. After creating Violet Fire I wanted to show her in action. So this is Violet Fire(my mlp OC) doing a spell on a eclipsed blood moon. However the spell may be getting out of hand and her power may be more than she can handle. I am very proud of the background because I don't usually do backgrounds but that's something I'm trying to get better at.
Violet Fire(MLP OC)
This is my MLP OC. I think her name will be Violet Fire. She is a practicing Witch and lives in the middle of the woods in the mountains. She listens to the ancestors for guidance. I don’t have much of a backstory yet, I will update this when I do.
Nightmare Moon(Credit MLP)
So lets start off by saying yes, this character design is from the tv show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. And all credit for character design goes to Hasbro, I did not create Nightmare Moon. I normally will not put much of not my design on here but she is one of my favorite characters and I wanted to share my version of her. I am very proud of this drawing. As usual her armor gave me lots of trouble but I figured it out. She is the kind of character I could draw over and over without fail. I do have another mlp character I want to share however that will be my own character and design.
Authentication
Okay so this one is not my best work however I am actually very proud of it. I struggle with Borderline Personality Disorder and one of the symptoms is never feeling like your own character. So my therapist challenged me to draw when I felt the most authentic. Well this is it. I feel authentic when looking at other peoples art because no matter what it is, even if I don't understand the piece I understand the work and emotion put into it. Because I Am An Artist. And that is the authentication part. So to show this I thought of all the markets you can find on the shoreline. Everything they sell in those tents along the ocean is handmade art from jewelry to woodwork to painting. So that is what I attempted to draw. Needs work but I tried my best.
Yin Yang Tattoo Design
My original tattoo idea that I have had for years that I want on my back. I finally drew it into life. I have always loved the Yin Yang and what it stands for plus my love of horses. Weird how now the Yin Yang’s values are a big part of my religion as well. I had the basic design in mind when starting the drawing, Yin Yang in the middle, a raring black unicorn and a white kneeling Pegasus. But I got fun with the design and colors of the two stallions. The unicorn turned into a more traditional type style with a messy wild mane and tail. And the feathers on the wings of the Pegasus became uneven on purpose. I wanted the colors of the mane and tail of both stallions to be drastically different than their body color. All in all I love how it turned out. I love that I had a basic design in mind all these years but got to explore and be fun with the details.
Luna’s Dragons Logo
The logo was the first time I ever drew Golden, our pretty storm dragon. I like the circle aspect that seemed like I could put anywhere. Golden looks as if she is coming from another dimension. And the moon is sacred to my craft, plus of course Luna=moon.
The Wendigo
The Wendigo is a Native American folk lore. Traditional folk lore shows them as a tall bone being with the head of a deer skull. They are known for luring people into the woods to feed on them. However this is a particular specific Wendigo. Normal Wendigo’s are depicted without eyes, I drew this Wendigo with glowing yellow eyes because that is how the witch saw him. This is the Wendigo that shape shifted into the bat guy(if you have read about that piece) and has been haunting the witch. The witch knows it is the same Wendigo because o his unmistakably disturbing eyes that are always watching her. Now the witch has done a server banishing spell on this Wendigo but he is still watching, waiting for his chance. Why this Wendigo is so interested in going after the witch, she doesn’t know. What she does know is he cannot go into the sunlight and likes to control the witch’s dreams.
Flicka And Dimitrius
These two mares are in identical poses as they are one and the same on different sides of the veil. The black and white mare, Flicka, is a witch’s Familiar in the physical world. Now familiars are not normally the witch’s pet however this familiar has been in the witch’s journey for longer than this life. On the other side of the veil is Flicka’s spiritual form, a eight legged black mare with red eyes, mane and tail. They are in mirrored poses to show that they are one. They assist the witch on her magical and spiritual journey. Since they have been together longer than this life they have a bond that is deeper than most Familiar bonds. They will protect each other forever.
Golden The Storm Dragon
Golden is a spitfire of a dragon. She is a witches guardians dragon and once again has a deep bond with her witch. Dragons can literally come in more types and sizes than you can imagine but Golden is definitely different than most. You see Golden is a very young dragon, and before she was a dragon she was a cat. In the physical world she was her witch’s cat, when the time came for the witch to find the Draconic path, her physical body died. Because of her cat origins she can occasionally shapeshift into a cat once again. This was not an end but a beginning for both Golden and the witch. She now is the guardian of the witch and is extremely loyal to her. Her cat origins still show through in dragon form in appearance and personality. Most dragons do not have fluffy ears or a long skinny snake like tail, these traits stem from the cat part. Her personality is rambunctious and hot headed. She finds it very hard to sit still and runs/flies more than walks. She is not afraid to say what she means and has a playful attitude. She is classified as a storm dragon however because she is so young she has not used her elements yet.
Witchcraft Tattoo Design
I want a tattoo showing my religion but I couldn’t find anything that was what I wanted perfectly, so I created my own. My magick is greatly based on lunar magic and the elemental magic. The phases of the moon are the main point, the four triangles are the symbols of the elements. Roses are my favorite flower and it also shows the herbs we use in spells. The Tarot card represents divination as a lot of my magick is focused in that area as well. Crystals and candles are common uses in witchcraft, I use them daily. The potion is another visual representation of witchcraft. The snake, cat and butterfly wing are all more personal to me. Cats are a symbol of witchcraft but also I just really love cats. Somewhat the same with the snake, I love reptiles and wanted a snake tattoo as well. The butterfly wing is much more personal as it is a symbol of one of my Dragons. The phrase “as above, so below” is a witch saying. Over all I am very proud of it and am glad that it turned out to be everything I wanted for the tattoo. (Now it's just finding someone to do it for me)
Balzar The Fire Dragon
Balzar is an older and experienced dragon. He is a witch’s guide dragon and assists with her path. He is a strong fire dragon but the intimidating exterior is just a façade. He is actually vey calm and gentle in nature though if you are violent, you will see his violence which is equal to a volcano. Balzar seems to have connections to the Native American culture. When he uses his element the markings on his body glow red like lava. He is very cautious when making decisions and moves slowly in real life and figuratively.
The Wendigo Bat
The Wendigo Bat previously the Bat Guy is from a witch’s nightmare. I changed his name because it became clear he is not a bat guy at all and is just one of the many faces of his imposter. He is a wendigo who has been haunting the witch in her dreams and attacking her. The witch had already done a spell to keep him away and this is one of his ways to try to get around it. He appears non threatening but this is only a costume.
Silver Diamond The Goddess
Silver Dimond is a sort of princess in the dragon realm. Though she has been missing for a long time and has now resurfaced. She is a mystery and not many dragons even remember her. Her body is more snake like with legs and she has connections with the Egyptian culture. In fact she is the one who created the Egyptians, in Egyptian mythology she was seen as the Goddess Neith. In Wiccan religion she is associated with the Tipple Moon Goddess. As a light dragon her magic is pulsating blue lights. Her position in the witch’s life is still a bit confusing but she has been assisting like a guide dragon, though she’s not. She is very smart and gentle talking. Though she has to be serious and responsible she still has a humorous attitude. When she walks she tends to hop like a deer and is very good at calming someone down.
Fire and Water Koi
The inspiration behind this piece is the Yin Yang. The two koi fish are swimming in the shape of the yin yang. The blue one represents the element of water with the water symbol on his head but colored like fire. The red one represents water’s opposite element, fire. Like water he has a fire symbol on his head colored like water. The yellow rapped around them represents the spirit element combining them. This one was both fun and frustrating to do.
Fox Catcher
These two are simple designs that I like to do every once in a while. The dream catcher is the same design with different colors that match the focal point. The fox is the first one I did and really liked it. The jellyfish however was more fun to do because I already had the design down and the jellyfish are interesting to draw.
