Description Here's the edited of Loyauth playing in the water. Loyauth is my character Lorena's brown dragon. He's based off of Gus McCrae, played by Robert Duvall in Lonesome Dove.

His desc:
A compact, sturdily built dragon, his hide is a deep rich brown, the faintest flush of sepia beneath a burnished topcoat. But even this shade is clearly discernable as brown in comparison to the nearly black that shadows the arch of his muscular neck and cobwebs between his eyeridges. His muzzle too, strong with a pinch of character, darkens to woody charcoal around his nostrils. Head knobs are tipped in darkness, a matching stripe dribbling down the point of each neckridge, down his spine to tail's tip. Stocky haunches and forelimbs are dappled up the inside with wafts of mahogany smoke, the bars especially noticeable at his joints. In a rare show of pure raven, his talons are glossy black, giving notable counterpoint to his midnight browns. Proportionally broad to suit his brawny frame, his wingsails begin at rustic spars to lighten to a soft shade of dun, speckles of redder sepia skirting his trailing edges.

Tada!

Well it all depends on the dragon's description. Loyauth was created for me by a friend so I just interpreted what was written.

I use a mix... primarily Prismacolors by Bereol, but I also use some generic Prang and Crayola... and some more upperclass Derwent and the Japanese brand Irojiten. They each offer different textures.

lunatteo In reply to Rafica [2008-08-06 16:41:39 +0000 UTC]

yeah... primas are really oily... you can actually get a lighter shade if you erase them after you apply them and then you can place color ontop of that. With straight prismas you can do very little color melding. But they work great for bold straight color.

I do suggest practicing some of the erasing techniques though... my contest entry that was a whole scene, I did the stones with using a lot of erasing.

*grins* When I impressed him I practically killed his creator with love because he was -SO- perfect... color, personality, everything, hehe... even down to his insp versus my character's name (The call girl that Gus falls for in the series is named Lorena and he called her Lory-darlin', hehe)
