Description
The picture reference used is out of the book 'The Dragon Chronicles'Um, this is actually pretty old, drawn beginning of last year, did it around the same time as my other dragon pic I have floating around in my gallery... This took me 9 hours straight to sketch, pretty happy with it!!
Comments, etc, appreciated!
>>>I think its ok to full-view, I resized it, it should be okay!!!<<<*hopefully*

Iβm such a sucker for dragons! This one looks so muck like a lizard, especially the 'legs', most dragons I see lately look like balloons with wings, but yours actually looks like a lizard. I donβt know it itβs a good thing but I like it!

Hehe, balloons with wings...
Well, dragons are reptilian, so being lizard-like is good I guess!!
Thank you very much, glad you like it, anyhow!!

You can make a guess as to what I'm gonna say
Amazing, as usual. Can I have some of that talent? You seem to be in excess of it

Great work! I really like your pencil skills.

Wow. Some absolutely stunning pencilwork here hun. The detail on the neck and tail are incredible. The wing has a wonderful curve and flow to it... and the shear depth to the piece is spectacular. I would advise that you resize your image down. It's a pretty heavy download even for me (and I have cable x.x) usually about 700 pixels high leaves it pretty much so you can see the whole piece without having to scroll all over the place.
All in all, a wonderful job. You should be proud.

do you have photoshop at all? x.x it really sucks when you can't resize your piece. OH! Do you have a photobucket account? This is totally a cheap way to do it... but they automatically resize images that are too large. So submit it, then right click and save the submitted pic once it's been resized.

Well, i almost had PS, but it was from a friend and the serial number had expired, so it doesnt work
Photobucket? Never heard of it! is that just like www. photobucket. com or something?? Sounds pretty cool anyway! I'll try that then
Thanks!

just [link] it's a storage place for photos and images and such. Free to use, so just set yourself up with an account, put it in, get it resized then bounce off to redo your image *nods* I'm not sure what size it redoes it to, only that it'll be about 250 kb instead of the... I forget what yours was. 700 or so.

Should be all good now!
