Description A contest prize for SmileyBear6 !

Here is a little ACEO card featuring a random individual of her created dragon breed called Nullam. Those are really cool looking creatures so take a look at their breed sheet and learn more! At first I was going to draw the dragon pictured in the sheet but then I thought it would be fun to try drawing another one based on the guidelines. I hope I got everything right!
However, this dragon breed is not free to create so if you're interested in getting your own Nullam, contact Smiley.

Tools: Markers, colored pencils, gel pen
ACEO = Art Cards, Editions and Originals – 6,4 x 8,9 cm (2.5 x 3.5")

So cool! I love the colors you have chosen, and the pose is so lively!  I love the glowy effects around the necklace.
Kudos to SmileyBear6 for coming up with such a cool breed - I love all the fluff and fur. And kudos to your for making such an awesome drawing and fitting all that awesomeness onto a tiny ACEO card!

It was really fun to draw this creature; I love the way Smiley has combined features from both western and eastern dragons on this breed.

Just a little comment seeing how much you like the breed. I am going to do a few touch up on the breed and then start to make adoptable of the breed. 


Agaave did such an amazing job capturing the breed on this small card.

Thank you very much!

I had forgotten how much fun it is to do these little cards; I should get back on track with ACEOs again - such relaxing things to draw!
I can add as many detail as I can without worrying that I have to fill a whole huge paper with them.

I am surprised myself how well lightning on the necklace came out; it usually quite hard for me to create nice looking lights traditionally.
But this time dark background did the trick; I think I just have to remember to add enough contrast on the background next time when I need something shiny. ^^

Hienoa työtä, kerrankin taustan ja hahmon välillä on tarpeeksi suuri kontrasti että hahmo erottuu varmasti. Hahmo on myös hyvin varjostettu ja olen ihan henkilökohtaisesti ihastunut lohiksen värimaailmaan. Jalokiven valoefekti on upeasti toteutettu ja varsinainen katseen ohjaaja. Siiven kulma ylänurkassa tuo kivasti kolmiulotteisuutta.

Agaave In reply to Khanorn [2014-03-26 18:02:42 +0000 UTC]

Kiitos paljon!

Kontrasti taustan ja hahmon välillä on oikeastaan seurausta mokasta, jonka tein linen kanssa... en voinut muuta kuin vetäistä koko taustan mustaksi ja rajata loharin valkoisella, että sain kämmin piiloon.
Toinen vaihtoehto olis tietenkin ollut piirtää koko kuva uusiksi, mutta laiskuus iski ja koitin pelastaa mitä pelastettavissa oli. Kiva siis kuulla, että toimii - kävi onni onnettomuudessa! Ja valoefektikin tuli kivasti esille mustasta taustasta, ois jäänyt huomaamattomammaksi, jos olisin piipertänyt jotain maisemaa/taivasta taustalle, kuten aluksi suunnittelin.
