Smaugust 2026, day 5: burrowing. This one was quite enjoyable to draw. Drakes deserve some love too, but I guess this particular creature would still happily eat you if you would go too close to its hunting grounds. #smaugust2026 #smaugust #dragon

A 31 years old journalist student and hobbyist artist from Finland. 🇫🇮 I draw mainly dragons, creatures and random D&D stuff.
I kinda want to try this too! 👀 1 like = 1 completely dull mundane fact about me.
Curious, or just want to let me ramble? 🦊 1 like = 1 completely dull mundane fact about me
Smaugust 2026, day 4: singing. Aight, it's time for some weird experimental stuff: what if there were harpy dragons? Dunno, but after I finished this doodle, I realized it kinda looks like Falin chimera from Dungeon Meshi, oops. #smaugust #smaugust2026 #dragon
Also rest in pieces, the true hero of many Smaugusts: white coal pen I used for highlights. Luckily I bought another one ages ago, so I can continue drawing.
Smaugust 2026, day 3: basking. I'm keeping these doodles simple, because I have too much other things to do. This time I was inspired py desert lizards. #smaugust #smaugust2026 #dragon
I got randomly inspired by @maahismaaria.bsky.social 's Smaugust 2026 list, didn't have time to draw yesterday but here's day 2: Lurking. Drew this simple little dragon. . . #smaugust #smaugust2026 #dragonart #digitalart
Smaugust 2026, day 2: lurking. Another rather quick doodle, featuring a weird mix between a gecko, a tarsier and a dragon. #smaugust #smaugust2026 #dragon
Smaugust 2026, day 1: soaring. Let's kick off this challenge with a quick sky noodle dragon. Let's see how well I can keep up with my list this time. #smaugust #smaugust2026 #dragon
I can't believe that Smaugust starts tomorrow. I'm not mentally prepared to draw every day next month, my tank is empty 🫠
I was so busy yesterday, that I totally forgot to post my Smaugust list on the first of July like usual, but anyway, here's the ideas I'm going to use this year. Feel free to use this list too, but remember to tag me so I can see your creations as well! 🐲
I finished my main sketchbook yesterday and gave it a proper farewell by sketching something a bit more experimental. The little text says, roughly translated: "a hell of a lot of things can fit in two years, but despite everything, I luckily never stopped drawing. See you in the next sketchbook."
Here's some proper random photos I took last week in Helsinki.

Some random phone photos I took today while walking around Helsinki (I'll post some proper photos later).
Oof, my sleep cycle is in shambles this summer. No, it's not because of the heat; in fact the daily temperature has been around or less than +20 °C for a while. It's the amount of daylight that mess me up each year, but right now it's punishing me extra hard.
It's awesome to see people so hyped about ArtFight, but once again I forgot about it existence completely. It would be interesting to participate, but atm I don't have any proper reference sheets for my OCs and D&D characters because I'm too lazy to draw them. Maybe some day.
Thanks for showing so much love for my dragon doodles! I sometimes hesitate to post these things because I feel like a one-trick pony, but if you want to see more stuff from my sketchbook, I'll keep posting. Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to show my non-dragon sketches too 👀
Happy midsummer! The weather is pretty cold, but at least it's pretty because the sun doesn't set at all (this photo was taken around 11.20 PM).
So, I finally started creating my D&D characters in Tomodachi Life. I knew Gnarr would look extra cursed, but he's trying his best, okay?
Sketchbook goes brrr again. I've had this one since July 2024, so I want to finish it already. Only nine more pages to fill with random doodoo.
It was already terrifying enough that you got offspring, but why the hell did you have to give it my sketchbook too?! This game is making me lose my mind, or maybe the insanity of it is the only thing keeping me sane at the moment.
Playing Tomodachi Life makes me once again realize how much I miss old days and creating stuff without any self imposed restrictions. I was unapologetically cringe back then, so the stuff I've spared is very poorly made and cliché, but at least I had fun over 15 years ago, much more than I have now.
I've had fun playing Tomodachi Life so far. All that random stuff have made me laugh many times, and I live for the drama (I'm ashamed to tell, but I have a favourite couple and my heart will break too if they divorce). I suck at drawing with Switch, but it's fun to add real life stuff in the game.
I finally got this game, it took forever to arrive. Let's see how much time I can waste now.
This is how I look after crawling out of the schoolwork hell and wondering where this summer suddenly came from. Honestly this brief season when everything is fresh and fragrant and the weather is pleasantly warm is the best time of the year.
The magazine we did arrived from the print and it looks so good! Maybe I can finally breath a little easier now that this four months long project is over.
