This is becoming a habit...

Another 40 minute computer sketch!




There is just something about those mermaids being summoned and the dragon curled around her that makes me purr happily.

Well the fact that I can still draw dragons makes me beyond happy so yeah >_>

But there is something wrong with her face. . .well actually the whole thing needs a lot of work if i want to do anything with it.

Eeeee! That looks really nice (though not as touching as the Sephiroth/plushies one in my mind. I'm just biased I guess).

I think it might have something to do with her hairline--it makes it look like the right side of her face is pulled tighter. Even though her hair is pulled back, it shouldn't affect the hairline, right?

I still like that one quiet a bit myself ^__^ Just haven't gotten around to finishing it >_>

And yeah i think it's the hairline...and the hair itself....we shall see...

But there is something wrong with her face.

::facepalm:: And I was thinking how much I LIKE her face.

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

Well I should say the shape of her head more then her face >_> Because the face itself is nice, but the shape it resides on is not ^^;

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

Sure, go for it ^___^

Pretties...I like the dragon, but then again I've been obsessing over them for a while so... Likes: The shape of the snout, there's a lack of dragons with blunt noses that aren’t Chinese dragons. The size of the dragon itself is also nice, not too large but a bit larger than a dog. Though the summoner must be really strong to hold a creature that must weigh over 100 pounds so nonchalantly. Questions: are the fins on the neck ornamental or do they serve a purpose? And is the (hair?) along the dragon's spine hair or more fins/spines?

Also: the general structure of the dragon with hooves and lack of keel bone would suggest that the dragon is a ground dwelling dragon with the ability to glide or fly short distances yet it has the (expected) small wings but the wings themselves are narrow, more falcon like then hawk like. Hawks having broad short wings used at lower altitudes with more body weight and gliding versus falcon wings with which the flier is lighter, faster and flaps more; using a lot more energy and air to fuel the creature. Your dragon has ‘falcon’ wings that would require a smaller body and a larger lung capacity then the chest would suggest instead of ‘hawk’ wings with the smaller chest, heavier body and hoofed feet your dragon has.

Also, your dragon’s hooves, are they hooves? I had been assuming so due to their bluntness they weren’t claws, suggesting that it hunts from the ground where it can hunt down its prey instead of flying down on it with claws outstretched. However I looked at the hands again and realized that the ‘hooves’ were on fingers that would be too long to run on without major risk of breaking bones.

And finally: where are the shoulders attached? I was looking and I think they’re above the chest where its muscles would be attached. Also the wings look like they’re attached to the neck instead of the chest, but I’m not too sure of that.

Erm… 0_0 sorry, I’m lecturing aren’t I? *stops* I kinda just get really into dragon physiology when you could just as easily explain it away by saying “cartoons” or “magical” fee free to ignore all of this in fact because your dragons are cool.

I like the rest of the picture and can’t see what’s wrong with the girl’s face, then again I can’t draw humans worth anything so what do I know? They’re pretties. :)

Actually i don't mind at all your little lesson. I may have to run some more dragons by you to see what you think because you have given me a lot to think about....

Thanks ^___^

Well... I was kinda sitting around at my brother's graduation for a while and ended up drawing an example of 'hawk' and 'falcon' winged dragons (drawn D&Dish style)

The one on the left  is a Sharp Shined hawk's wing and the one on the right is a Peregrine falcon's wing. Erm...Yeah.

I'd love to see more of your dragons.

Dragons! I wish I could draw dragons. And I love the way you draw clothes/costumes.

The only thing I think is wrong with the face is that her chin is too blunt. Other than that, I think it's good!

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

I think it's the chin and the back of the skull....

But dragons are wonderful aren't they ^___^

[white_aster]

eee, so cute. :)

face....hrm, it might be that the one side of her face looks longer vertically than the other somehow.... But still, so cute! ^__^

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

Probably the hairline as Maile pointed out.......and I can see it, now that it's morning and I'm actually awake ^^;

[dreamcatcher.livejournal.com]

I think that is absolutely gorgeous. I usually only bother to look at sketches with the purty purty men. (Yes, I'm a bit biased.) [g] So it's saying quite a bit that I like a sketch where there isn't a man in site. Beautiful job.

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

^_______^ I understand. I haven't drawn females in quite a while actually so it'skinda weird drawing something without 'purty men' in it ^^;

Oooh, she's so serene.
