Description
Ode to :[link]
Few years ago I designed La-ela a dragon to accompany her, and afterwards she made this dragon (wich has the same colors and details, but back then hers was much better then mine). I always wanted to draw that dragon again, and today I did. Although I don't know exactly why. We always used to make up things together and in the end we wouldn't even know who came up with what anyway XD, so we share alot of characters. I sure do miss the good old times sometime...
I like how it came out, the anatomy isn't correct, but I wanted to keep the same twists and turns as in the old picture of La-ela. I also added wings and a background.
The colors still don't match the way they look in photoshop. I've asked people what I did wrong, I changed alot of settings, but it didn't really help much. Oh well...

I love the little nose on the dragon, and the way the mouth is more implied than shown. It's so cool (literally -and- figuratively). The blue tones are really nice, and the red stone around the neck is a nice contrast point. And, to repeat what's been said already... omg it's cuuuuuuuuute! ^_^

ik heb een verhaal/strip waar ik aan bezig was waar de meeste van mijn beestjes inkomen, maar aangezien die op niks trekt en ik de personages herwerkt heb, ga ik die opnieuw beginnen zodra ik met school de tijd kan vinden.
