There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.


Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!


Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐Ÿ‰.

Considering one exists and the other doesn't, a better question might be why do people draw dragons with cat eyes.

Given @sopularity_fax@sopuli.xyz 's disclosure about having not even seen other depicted dragons, it should actually be: "Why are the Shrek dragon's eyes stylized like a cat's?"

Go watch The Witcher S1, OP!

I mean, ive def seen many other dragons, I just dont actively recall as explicitly as i do with the Shrek dragon, altho I sense its a bit of a convention in dragon illustration
