My Bio

My name is Jessica Peffer and I’m an illustrator and mythological creature enthusiast. I’m the author and artist of the DragonArt: How to Draw book series, and co-creator of the browser based virtual pet game, Flight Rising. I graduated from Columbus College of Art and Design with a BFA in illustration


From 2001-2014 NeonDragonArt.com was used as a hub for my art, tutorials, and a forum for artists. After it launched in 2013, Flight Rising took up the majority of my time. NeonDragonArt had to be set aside while I worked to help make Flight Rising the best game it could be.

Now that things have settled down a bit, I’m working to create a little space for myself and my art again.


I will be moving to Strange Little Creatures for a fresh start and posting my current work there.

Strange Little CreaturesHello, Jessica Peffer here – one of those dragon artists. It’s been a long time since I actively worked on NeonDragonArt, my art site. In fact, it’s been offline nearly a decade! In that time I’ve been working with an amazing team on Flight Rising, a browser-based virtual pet game about breeding, customizing, and battling dragons. I was a co-creator on this project, working with our team on FR is a full time job! ~ ~ ~ I had a difficult time separating my personal time from working on the game. I worked from home, and I was a co-creator. I had a great deal of personal and creative investment and ownership in the project. Because of this, it felt like anytime I was drawing, I should be drawing for Flight Rising. If I started to draw personal art I would feel guilty; couldn’t that time be spent on the project? Even if I’d worked a full 8 hour day, it felt like any more time spent on art should be used to get ahead on future updates. There was no work/life

I have restocked the etsy shop and nearly everything in it is on sale! If you were ever looking at my crafts, now is a great time to pick them up. My etsy shop is on sale because I do not plan on attending any conventions this year as a vendor, nor keeping the etsy shop up for the long-term. Everything that’s up there is it for on-hand stock! I do have quite a few candle and lip balm materials left over, so I may use those supplies up and make a few more items, but beyond that I can’t guarantee any of these items coming back in the near future. I am not going to be placing any reorders for materials that I run out of, as using them up is t...

A project that I've been a part of for several years now is nearing its launch! We're now running a kickstarter to get Flight Rising off the ground by raising the funds to purchase a dedicated server capable of supporting hundreds of concurrent online users for its first year online. ------------------------------------------------ Information from our Kickstarter Page: Flight Rising's Kickstarter is now live! If successful, we'll have the funds for our own dedicated server, and will be opening in a couple of months. We have project details, updates, and some great rewards lined up for our backers.
