Elycian In reply to XcubX [2011-10-25 00:16:47 +0000 UTC]

I am happy you like it Hahaha people keep asking that. I was just going for the whole mythological idea that 'oriental dragons protect something precious'. I would say its a precious orb that is valuable or does something cool, but I didn't actually make up a back story behind it.. Its kinda also there just to put more colour in the painting, otherwise the green of the eyes looked a bit random

That dragon was very beautiful. I do not like to use this gem he has in his hands loose. I stuck a neck brace easier and more convenient.

Elycian In reply to Ikro2009 [2011-10-24 00:46:26 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Yeah, I know what you mean about the gem, it can be a bit awkward if you want to draw them standing. I just had a look at what you did. It is a really good idea!

Ikro2009 In reply to Elycian [2011-10-24 00:51:55 +0000 UTC]

I've always used a kind of collar or leather strap on the neck of my dragons with the purpose of holding this gem. My pearls are not round, but polyhedral. Oh, and thanks for joining one of my dragons to your favorites, despite being hand-drawn.

Elycian In reply to Ikro2009 [2011-10-24 03:18:58 +0000 UTC]

That's very clever. If you don't mind, I might use that idea in the future Oh, and no problem at all, I really like your dragons They look good hand-drawn!!!

I have drawings of free shows, I do not mind people copying the style. You can use it without problem. I would be proud.

The whole picture is good but it look a little bit weird in its tail ~ You get better and better

Elycian In reply to Toshikun [2011-10-19 00:53:16 +0000 UTC]

I am glad you like it( mostly )! I know the tail is weird. I couldn't really do much to fix that wouldn't take hours on end because of how I did the layers at the start. I had no idea what I was doing in this new program I downloaded. This one was a huge learning curve, I have another dragon in the works at the moment and it is SO much better, I can't wait to release it

Wow very nice, I love how it looks almost like a watercolor in places but then the lines get sharper in others to bring out the detail; really good.

I like it a lot! but what is he holding? it kinda looks like a giant ball of jade or a huge emerald?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Elycian In reply to RailgunTogepi [2011-10-06 02:46:22 +0000 UTC]

I had just intended it to be something valuable looking, as per the typical idea that an oriental style dragon will be protecting some sort of treasure type thing It obviously worked since you assumed it was emerald or jade!

Yeah, it is kinda random though, i figured i had to bring more green into the picture because otherwise its eyes would kinda be out of place in the colour scheme if you know what i mean...

RailgunTogepi In reply to Elycian [2011-10-06 02:50:36 +0000 UTC]

Well I saw what you did thar! its a common theme for dragons to guard riches in western mythology as well as oriental mythology and again, AWESOME job
