Description An ancient dragon rises from the depths of the ravine where he has slumbered for centuries. Time for breakfast.

I started this guy at Dragon con and he has sat in my rough book ever since. Until now. Watercolour on watercolour paper (print out of original lines), with very quick highlight and stuff on computer. But mostly this is watercolour. One day I will come back and do a proper colouring job here.

Hi, I play a text based RPG game and was wondering if I could use this image for my character's biography. I would give you full credit, as well as linking your dA page to the bio page.

Thanks for the consideration.

Thank you. I think this one definitely benefitted from me coming back and working it over twice on the computer - the second time around I was able to pick out much more detail and give it a more atmospheric colour (or lack thereof) scheme.

Hard work always pays off, and that's very evident in this piece of artwork.

heh, well whatever floats their boat, I guess. So long as no one's making me draw them like that (possibly for large amounts of cash, otherwise no!).

haha lol. I did this drawing of a dragon once that came out pretty good (in my opinion) but once water color touched it, OOOH MAYNE lol, it looked like a glob of paint just spilled all over it lol. Paint & pastels hate me soo much lol

Thanks! So long as I stick to a limited palette the results are usually ok - if I try too many colours with 'em then what I get is a mess

Thank ye. I don't really deliberately aim for dark... it just seems to go that way naturally for my pictures.

petdragon In reply to drakhenliche [2008-04-18 13:22:40 +0000 UTC]

Well, I think that shows too! Some do "dark" just for dark's sake. Your atmosphere and themes seem naturally dark and not forced.

It's lovely--please don't stop. : )
