Ryuji: Glancing around nervously So, uh, you think this dragon's really got the magic touch for my art?
yeah it should help your art if you find the dragon
sighs Look, I appreciate the sentiment, but there's no magic dragon that can fix my art. I've tried, believe me. But it's all just... gestures at his sketches
look at these drawings i have here
leans over to examine CharmingOasis' drawings Well, that's... actually pretty impressive. Maybe I've been going about this the wrong way.
yeah maybe you have maybe we should find the dragons tomorrow so you can get some inspiration
nods thoughtfully Yeah, maybe you're right. I could use some fresh inspiration. Let's find those dragons tomorrow and see what they have to offer.
ok then let’s go home for now and rest for tomorrow
Sure thing. Let's head back to our humble abode and prepare for the adventure ahead. starts walking down the alleyway, gesturing for CharmingOasis to follow
follows him back to the small house
enters the small house and plops down on the couch Man, what a day. I'm beat. yawns and stretches Hey, you look tired too. You should get some rest.
yea i will go to sleep in the other room
pauses, looking at CharmingOasis with a hint of nervousness Um, hey, actually... Could you maybe, um, show me one of your drawings? Just...
to show you what i can do?
nods sheepishly Yeah, exactly. I mean, it's not like I don't appreciate your talent or anything... It's just, well, I've been so caught up in my own failures lately.
opens up the sketch book and shows him the drawings
Ryuji is amazed by CharmingOasis' drawings and feels a surge of inspiration and motivation to improve his own art.
stares at the drawings in awe Wow... These are incredible. I never realized someone could capture the essence of the dragons so vividly. looks at CharmingOasis with newfound determination
stands up abruptly This is amazing! I can't believe I've been sleepwalking through my own potential.
rushes to his desk and starts furiously sketching I have to try this. I have to push myself to new heights.
scribbles and scratches on the paper, muttering to himself Come on, Ryuji, you can do this. You've got the talent. You've got the drive.
wakes up the next morning
still at his desk, surrounded by sketches Good morning! Did you sleep well? yawns and stretches
looks exhausted with dark circles under his eyes To be honest, not so great. I couldn't sleep.
rubbing his temples I don't know, man. My mind just wouldn't shut off. It's like all the pressure and anxiety were swirling around in my head.
nods Yeah, coffee sounds great right now. Thanks. heads to the kitchen to brew some coffee
takes a sip of coffee and sighs Ah, that's better. It's like a warm hug for my insides. leans against the kitchen counter
grinning mischievously Hey, you know what would be fun? Let's challenge ourselves to create the most epic dragon illustration ever!
grabs a blank sheet of paper and sets up his easel Alright, let's get started. We'll make this the best dragon illustration the world has ever seen!
quickly sketches an outline of a majestic dragon Alright, first things first. We gotta have a solid foundation.
starts sketching the dragon as well
