Was forced to take a break by uncomfortable weather, this is the progress I have made on the current character.
I like making original characters as it allows me to play around with stuff like colour palette. This one's a lot different from the original plan~ -w-
Had a bit of art-block, but finally came up with this quick* work (*it still took 2 days because I'm inexperienced).
This is actually my first drawing of [Yuki Molotov]. Hopefully you can enjoy the expression with me (I do this face a lot).

Ah wait..." (Self-Inflicted EMOTIONAL DAMAGE)
Done for now, one with spots, one without. Lmk which design you prefer. Other variants may be possible in future...
Quick update
Didn't have time to change the entire style of the eyes, but I did give them more than 12 layers of detail. Still not 100% happy with them; I will seek more guidance for next time.

You know what, never mind.
My Secretary has a huge floofy tail (important). Maybe it grew in relation to past misfortune.
I will try to draw a different character next, so I can practice new things. I streamlined my drawing process significantly during this work, and hope to continue developing my skills.
For context, this is Secretary. I think all noble dragons should form a contract with a suitable secretary, individual strength can be surprassed by effective delegation.
Drawing this one I managed to not mess up the layers and base colours, and the lineart is cleaner. Progress!
It's been a while, huh?
Well, I've been practicing with my graphics tablet, and here's the first result I can show. It's a full-body work, but I didn't finish 1st-stage shading for most of the rest.
This one has many issues, so I moved on to the next.
Progression on Holosight:
Sunk several hours in, but an improvement, I think. So much more work to do on the rest😣, I just hope it turns out well in the end.
If I ever do another pixelart prop/vehicle in future, I'll definitely want to use software that isn't paint-based 🥲.
