Description My best dragon piece I think. Scales all individually shaded, faces in both profile and frontal views, crests are different, etc...I'm very happy with this.

Thanks! I kinda wish I could've scanned in the pic better. The white's scales are much more visible in RL. Ah well. ^^

The dark dragoon is amazing the white is so white ^^u ok, that's right if it is white, but I think it loses a little of detail, and shadows are shadows although it were white

vaneral In reply to Luzoscura [2005-12-25 06:01:15 +0000 UTC]

I admit, it lost a lot of detail, but really, it was because of the poor scan. I need a new scanner. The real pic shows the white looking more detailed and scaly. :3 Thanks for your comment!

Oh. Holy. Gawd. That's better than most professional pieces I've seen. And believe me, with all the bestiaries I read of Tolkien and Weiss and such, I've seen many. Dearest Vanny, I am in awe. :worships:
I can't believe the amount of detail you put into this, it's just gorgeous.

The only Dragons I can honestly say--yeah! I love this piece! Now more so, since so many of ya'll like it! TT_TT Thanks!!! Is it professional? I wasn't really sure--I just wanted it to look like proper dragons is all.

....
Why am I giddy? Is it because of the recent evil fics I've read, or the seven cans of pitch black moutnain dew?????
