Description For the monthly theme contest. I went really overboard. orz

I had to do chartreuse and adventure so I was like... 8D LET'S MAKE THEM GO ON AN ADVENTURE TO FIGHT A DRAGON~!

My first painting of a dragonnn whoo <3 I've drawn a few dragons here and there but this is my first time really coloring one. I probably wouldn't have finished if it wasn't for a contest because it was an intimidating endeavor ; w ;

I'm sad though because halfway through I realized it might not be anime enough :C but I wanted to try something challenging and interesting....but it doesn't focus on the characters that much orz

Close-up of characters: [link]

From left to right: Remi, Zenick, Maylin and Aren.

The wierd fan-shaped thing is Zenick's tail LOL

(they look so messy ; w ; )

but yay I finished a dragon! I am proud! :'D I LOVE DRAGONS I just...I don't draw things like this well so ;___; askalskd

art and everything in it © me = w =

;^; I don't know why I didn't see this via my messages, and for that I apologise for not having seen it. But daaaang Hira, this is some cool stuff. Especially the way you constructed this piece. I like that you made the difference in size between the dragon and the people. I even love the fact you went into so much detail in the scales. I would imagine this would have taken you quite a while...

Cos o-o it looks sooooo detailed. I love that you always go into detail with your works <3

Anyways good luck in the Contest c: <3

Awwwwww it's okay Kitty! LOL! Thank you! :3 Yeah I wanted it to be a reallly big dragon ; w ; but the people didn't get much detail because of it~ I really wanted the scales to look nice and not overdone but it was hard. I think it took me around three/four days? lol my average time for painted contest pieces orz

PFFT. I don't /always/ go into detail at all haha!! xD I've been trying to be more detailed buuut....I could be soo much more detailed than this D:

Thank you! I won actually ; w ;'

;w; I still wanna try to respond to pieces that get uploaded. But erm... I think its good the dragon was your focal point rather than the people but huuuuuur D8 so much work for scales.

Also ;w; from my judgement it looks that way though, the details I mean. But I know you'll get there!!

And congrats on winning and hweee 8D I featured you for March. I probably featured you in the past, but... ;w; your arts are prettttyyyyy <3

Awwww Kitty you're so nice! The scales weren't really that bad. They're not even that detailed...xD quite messy, actually. But I wanted to get them done quickly, and they're more there for texture more than anything else...

Details are hard, but I'm trying to be less lazy and put them in. They can actually be fun sometimes!

Awwwwwww you did?! ;//3//; Thank you so much Kittyyy!!! <3

And yar I did feature ya c;

Hirahime In reply to KitaeKat [2012-03-31 23:21:44 +0000 UTC]

xD Yeah scales are hard! I just wanted to make sure they weren't too overdefined because that always looks wierd on scales.

Hirahime In reply to kuroitenshi13 [2012-03-12 23:33:15 +0000 UTC]

Yup it's hard for me to draw /anything/ that's not cute ; w ; I used a BUNCH of references for it, and I've been practicing drawing monsters in general lately.

kuroitenshi13 In reply to Hirahime [2012-03-13 00:38:59 +0000 UTC]

Nice and nice! Thank you so much, I think next time I try I'm going to have to do that as well.

Hirahime In reply to kuroitenshi13 [2012-03-14 01:50:55 +0000 UTC]

You're very welcome! Yeah. Usually I would have tried practicing some dragons first before actually drawing the picture, but I was being lazy... >->u

Sometimes monsters and scary things are fun to draw though, so I've just been doing that sometimes lately.

kuroitenshi13 In reply to Hirahime [2012-03-14 04:49:58 +0000 UTC]

They are, but for some reason, even my scary stuff I draw comes out with this cute I can't get rid of.

Hirahime In reply to kuroitenshi13 [2012-03-14 14:46:58 +0000 UTC]

LOL. I hear ya. Uhm wellll maybe try drawing a few scary monsters from videogames. :'D I haven't drawn anything /really/ scary (like horror game scary) but I've drawn a few of the intimidating ones for practice. It'll help you get an understanding for the kinds of shapes/lines that make things look like they'll rip you to shreds! 8D /shot

Liiike the other day I drew a bunch of werewolves for no apparent reason! :'D LOL. And then after you've practiced you can just try drawing your own random monsters c: But the only way to really get away from cute is to practice things that aren't cute~

Just out of random curiosity, what would you name the dragon?

Hirahime In reply to kuroiStar [2012-03-12 17:10:37 +0000 UTC]

~ w ~ I'm not sure yet.... It's not actually a mean dragon he won't eat them he's just grumpy and doesn't like being disturbed. He's like an ancient dragon that's really cool but I haven't thought of a name yet. xD I kind of just made him for the picture..
