Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026So gonna have to crush some hopes if people expect a comic or some kind of animated series. At most it'll probably be an illustrated novel. 000
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Another reminder that while I would like to see this as a series, I do not have the funds, skills or manpower to make it happen the way I'd want. So I'm probably just going to have to write it out like a book. With volumns, chapters and such so I can keep the intended 'seasons, episodes, etc'. 100
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026heartofpenumbra.tumblr.com I'm open to any asks if anyone wants to ask any questions, just keep it chill. Blog's still a wip cause I've never actually ran a project blog before. At most I've ran an OC hub blog where I just ramble about OCs, headcanons and the worlds I put them in.heartofpenumbra.tumblr.comHeart Of Penumbra 100
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Also forgot to mention @lsdolphin.bsky.social did all the character references and even did the designs for most of them. At most I suggested 'blue' for Kojin and 'lovebird' for Rudra. If anything artsy related to HoP pops up, LS did it. 000
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Also I do have a tumblr blog for this project cause damn I do NOT like the character limit of these type boxes or that I can't go back and edit a spelling error or update an old pic. 200
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I watched one episode of a magical friendship horse cartoon, and I had issues with the plot. I will save that rant for another talk, but that issue eventually delved into me drafting a rough idea of a series about elemental dragons and how relationships worked. 100
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026As a matter of fact, the biggest reason this series exists as it is? is in fact... .....Ponies. 100
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026"Is this series inspired by Spyro?" Gonna surprise you by saying 'no.' I can understand any confusion given it has dragons and elemental magic and such (especially if you're a hardcore 'The Legend of Spyro' fan), but the purple dragon had no involvement in this project's existence. 100
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The aforementioned 'Royals' are a whole 'nother can of worms and possibly one of the few people in this world who can still use magic. 100
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026LS Notes. Penny is not actually one of the chosen - as far as anyone can tell, anyway. ("She's the last light dragon - she's gotta be the chosen of light... right?") After a very sheltered upbringing, she's determined to contribute, even if she has to fight her anxiety every step of the way. 000
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Penny's not one of the chose one and struggles to use her light magic, but she got roped into the plot and for the most part is either treated as a tagalong kid or a younger sibling, depending on who you ask. 100
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026LS Notes. Rudra is the shitstarter of the crew. Having already been a celebrity sportsdragon, she sees being a "chosen one" as more of the same: keep your obligations, give a good performance, and reap the rewards. It's easy. She likes ruffling others' feathers and is chronically at odds with Bhumi. 000
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026And l- wait a minute. Almost forgot someone. Penelope "Penny" Glimmershine is a ward of the royals and is so far the only one investigating the weird surge of magical incidents. A light dragon and last of her kind, if there's a chosen of light, she's probably the only candidate fit for the job. 200
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026LS Notes. Sobek is the chill peacekeeper of the group. He's emotionally intelligent and perceptive, but his patience can easily cross over into doormat behavior. He's smarter than he looks. 000
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026LS Notes. Bhumi is the unofficial team leader - she sees herself as the only one here who's mature enough for the job, which isn't an entirely unfair assumption on her part. Her self-reliant nature is at odds with team management, but someone's gotta do it. 000
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026LS Notes. Kojin already felt smothered by his very average familial expectations before the whole "chosen one" thing happened. His heart is in the right place, but he's a pessimistic and defensive guy and has some growing up to do. 000
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Last of the known chosen one we have Rudra, chosen of air and quite full of herself. She's a racing celebrity in a known racing circuit and knows her worth and will let the world know. The smallest of the chosen, but by far the biggest in personality. 200
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Character 3. Sobek is a water dragon and the chosen of water. Dude is so chill he may as well be a doormat. He works as a fantasy version of a lifeguard, and spends most of his time making sure kids don't fall in, don't drown, and monitoring any changes to the environment. Also an absolute unit. 200
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Character 2. Bhumi, earth dragon, chosen of earth magic. She's the team manager cause someone's gotta do it, despite her self-reliant nature. Sometimes becomes the team mom who can keep a group together but can also be a bit uptight at times. 200
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Character 1. This is Kojin. He's by far the most reluctant of the chosen ones and is a grumpy pessemist who gets defensive easily. He does smithing and glasswork and gets passionately creative, but he still has some growing up to do. Chosen of Fire. 200
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026now you obviously can't have a project/story without characters (well I think it's possible it's just rare), so some reluctant chosen ones, a trope done to death a million times but its what I went with. 100
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It wasn't an instant magical change, more like a quicker 'evolution' that happened over generations rather than millions of years. This is a world of formerly magical dragons and what other critters don't quote me on logic or physics in a fantasy setting. please? 100
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Magic disappearing is also why dragons look different than how they look in the chart. Ancient dragons could live off of their elemental magic entirely. Magic go poof, dragons now have to live off of actual food, so they shrink to adjust to the change. 100
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026LS is also the reason earth dragons look like snakes and water dragons look like whales. Best call ever. I would've gone bulky boulder-y dragon for earth and flowy sea-serpent for water, which has been done to death. 100
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The project is called 'Heart of Penumbra', it's basically a fantasy series about dragons in a world where magic has long since disappeared, yet recent incidents imply that magic is possibly coming back and no one's ready for it. 100
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It was indeed for the best cause we ended up getting these guys. From the beginning I was planning on going with a classic elemental system, and thankfully LS was able to take that concept and go absolutely wild with it. #notmyart #dragon #dragons @lsdolphin.bsky.social 120
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026On my own I would've done a more bipedal/dragon-faun idea, but at the time I couldn't draw bipedal or humanish-humanoid characters. LS suggested maybe something more along the lines of Spyro, and we ended up making that idea work and it was for the best. 100
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Until one day I had it stuck in my brain while taking medication for a shoulder issue, I was talking to LS on discord and asked if she wanted to talk dragons with me, and what initially started as a tiny idea expanded massively. She basically took a pile of sand and turned it into a sandcastle. 100
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It was originally going to be a project kept on the backburner cause it was planned to be 'episodic' (whether animated or not) and I neither had the skills, manpower, funds or skills to make such a thing possible. 100
Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Admittedly one of the big projects I really want to try and do is a series about dragons I've been cooking up for a while now. also someday I'll figure out how hashtags work. 100

Feather @featheredbeardog.bsky.social · 03/08/2026I named myself 'Feathered Beardog' so it's only appropriate I try to visually depict what I think it'd look like. I like griffins and chimeras.
