Aster's design has her roots in a really old dragon sketch I made when I was still a teenager. This one, from 2006.

The large eyes, long, flexible neck, and narrow snout stuck with me, and eventually became Aster. :)

A pencil sketch of the head of a dragon. Her neck is long and sinuous, as are her two horns. She has large, doe-like eyes and cow-like ears, and a pointed snout.

So I've been doing a lot of drawings of Sable and Aster recently, but I realize not all of my followers may know where they're from, so I thought I'd go back to some old work and re-introduce them to the world a little. :)

Sable and Aster are the main characters in a tweenage graphic novel project of mine. Back in 2016 I made the first 13 pages and posted them to sableandaster.com/

They got their start a bit earlier than that, though; they were the subject of arguably the first proper comic project I ever made, for my first illustration class in college, in 2013. You can see that here: rheallart.tumblr.com/post/5512

After finishing that first comic the characters wouldn't leave my head. So now I have an outline somewhere and tens of thousands of words written for their story which may or may not ever happen. XD Ah, the creative process…!

Their story is currently on hiatus due to my on-going chronic health issues making it difficult to create, but that doesn't mean the project's dead; just delayed a while. :da_sweat:

I have a few old drawings of them lying about, here, have a few. :bowie_stardust: :da_grin:

A digital pencil sketch of a girl reading a book, paddling her feet in a pond. She's laughing at a dragon, who's head has popped partly out of the water before her, and is blowing bubbles.
A red pencil drawing of Sable, cross-legged, reading a book. Aster, the dragon, is lying next to her, her head craned over, looking at the pictures and listening with a smile.
A pencil drawing of sable giving Aster a big hug around her head and neck. They both look very happy. There's also a drawing of a woman with short hair and some doodles of cartoony rabbits.
A digital blue pencil sketch of Sable, sitting on a rock, her head resting on her arm, looking restless or slightly disgruntled. Beside her are the words "Sable is BORED"
