Dragon Sparking 200 Subs Celebration!

nathanKmcwilliams 2024-01-29 20:33:11 UTC #1

Hey hey all the Tapas Forums people!! Dragon Sparking just hit 200 subs today!
I've been a member of the Tapas community since 2018, back when I published the first version of Dragon Sparking, and I'm finally excited to say that nearly 6 years later I finally crossed the two hundred threshold, it's been a journey!
So...to celebrate that journey I'd like to offer some art to any of my subscribers that have been along the journey in the last 5 years.
If any of my subscribers want some art of their characters (or mine) all they gotta do is shout out in this thread. I'll sketch something up for those interested. This is a thanks for the support from my readers over the years.

Rules:
1. Must be a subscriber from before 2024, this is a celebration and thanks to the people who have been reading DS for the long haul!
2. One character at a time from each requester please!!
3. I won't do characters from an NSFW work.

Eager to see who shows up! Looking forward to drawing some stuff!

I am a proud subber of the little red guy. Love your unique grungy style and would also love and cherish a sketch of Rip demolishing Tokyo like Godzilla.

Congrats on getting to 200 and more congrats for never giving up along the way.

(couldn't access my old account here, but this was worth making a new one)

YO @snowylocks, wish granted! You always have great comments, and have been a pal over the years.
I'll get something working soon!

Congratulations to you! That's quite a feat.

Thanks (⁠^⁠^⁠)
I'm super grateful for everyone that's read my little story about a short dragon guy that punches people.

@snowylocks
Here's your sketch! Rip wouldn't make that intimidating of a Kaiju lol...he's too much of a short king xD

And just in time for the Year of the Dragon, too!

Congrats on the 200 subs, man!

How about Resh stopping a tornado elemental please?

@aqua03
Thanks! You were one of my earliest subs on Tapas.
I'll get to work on that drawing probably tomorrow!

Congrats on 200 subs!

aqua03 2024-01-29 23:28:11 UTC #11

No problem! Yeah, I'll never forget stumbling upon your pixel art version of it when looking for interesting fantasy comics to read. Also can;t wait to see the final product!

nathanKmcwilliams 2024-01-29 23:38:26 UTC #12

@aqua03
I may be re-uploading the original pixel art stuff but with readable text and in mobile scroll at some point this year.

aqua03 2024-01-29 23:48:45 UTC #13

Oh neat. I eagerly await that.

alliascompany 2024-01-30 00:44:15 UTC #14

Congrats on 200 suns!

And how about a sketch of Dawn?

nathanKmcwilliams 2024-01-30 01:26:28 UTC #15

@alliascompany
Ooh absolutely! And thanks!

CarltonIsaac 2024-01-30 04:23:26 UTC #16

How about :Liz in your style.

nathanKmcwilliams 2024-01-30 04:25:44 UTC #17

Ooooh snap! Bringing me some Mignola is always a great call. Yeah I'll give it a shot!

Congratulations my man. You finally did it!
I’m very happy for you and you deserved this to happen wau earlier, but here you are!

I have watched you grow from the very beginning and have fallen in love with every character and style you came up with. It has also been a journey for me to witness a talent evolve.

I will not ask for art, because I have asked for that since 2020 when we took a first look at Project Bunneh.
But if you have spare time, I would be happy to see a sketch of Buzz. (I actually liked that little side thing you made)

Thank you for being my friend and thank you for sharing your dream of being a great artist with me.
I share here the very first drawing you gave me of Bunneh and the latest. Just to show ppl how you have grown over the years.
Edit: The coloring on the latest image is made by Maja Cronvall, but in the style of Nathan.

Hi @nathanKmcwilliams, congrats!
Would love it if you draw my characters ~~ see refs here.

PapaDom 2024-01-30 11:14:00 UTC #20

Oh my god, congrats dude!
And hey, if you get 100 more, you can re-enact the movie 300 with all.

Hmmmm. A drawing of Nora would be neat since I've been neglecting her ever since last year.

...Or better yet, I would like to see Rip doing some sick yo-yo moves. That or something with Loki. Haven't seen my favorite bald guy in a long time.^^
