Description

Edit 12-8-12: i went back and touched it up a bit.


Edit entry 10-13-12: Finally!! another epic full BG pic! ......It's been a minute since ive put this much effort in a pic with full color. I also went back and fixed up the lighting and colors today.

I used mostly color pencils. For the out lines and some of the darkest shaded spots on the dragon, i used some pens and markers over the color pencil to help me get smoother colors, cleaner finish and sharper image.

This is my part of an art trade with :icondamoonsshadow: of her dragonsona, Mer. Since her dragonsona doesn't have wings, i thought i'd draw her with some.

This will also be for Traditional-Art-Only's Group October Challenge "Blue" [link]

Mood music---> [link] mainly that part were it says "Til we find our place, on the path unwinding" :D



Edit 9-27-2012: Up dated line art. I 'm pretty confident that this dragon is anatomically correct with help from :iconkatepfeilschiefter: . But i need to remember from now on to draw those lines of action before i sketch the line art, Like this----> [link]

Lately ive been doing anatomy from memory, but this time i did some heavy referencing....mainly of KatePfeilschiefter's anatomy chart here--> [link] as well as anatomy charts of real animals.


It took me about 16hrs to finish this pic.
Art belongs to me.

Mer belongs to :icondamoonsshadow:

For starters, this is fantastic. I faved it the minute I saw it. I love the look, the style everything. The quality is great. Something about the square symbols on his arms, legs and down his chest and belly strikes me. Your attention to detail is incredible and you make shading and backgrounds look easy! I just love it, truly one of my faorite dragon drawings on dA.

Hmm, I need at least one hundred words, but I don't have too much more to say about it. Argh! Why won't my mind work? XD

Long story short, I love this drawing, it's awesome. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)"/>
