Description Please full view her, she's worth it hehe

Bet you didn't expect this from me

As a kid I used to draw two animals... badgers (my favourite animal) and dragons. I decided to do a dragon - dur... well who wants to see a little black, white and grey blob? Also, dragons I guess can be drawn in many different ways and have your own creative elements to it.

If you don't know, this is my second piece using Illustrator, previously I said I would marry it and have it's babies... I am now going to have a blood transfusion and hope I will start having blood in gradient paths... as abstract as that sounds.

So anyway, this is my first 100% without reference digiart... very proud of myself. It is something I have wanted to achieve for a while... and I feel as if I really have achieved something. Last vector I was learning how to do my previous portraits in Illustrator using more or less the same technics... this time I have learnt vector sketching, gradients and of course working without reference. I love learning new things! I guess the next step is gradient meshing... eek! It looks too complicated, so excuse me if I go back to my comfort zone for the next couple of pieces before I go there!

If the demand is great enough, I shall make Kyt into a wallpaper

Hey, it ended up really great! I think its good to work without reference too, otherwise you are always limited creatively to what someone else has captured.

Shaz, with each and every piece you submit you still amaze me !
Your talents keep stretching and keep getting bigger and better
Doing something like this from scratch is extremely complicated
Especially when you're using a program you've only used twice !
And yet... you still have it mastered ^^
I, for one, think this is purrfect P:
Defintally one of my favourites
I am soooo proud of you ^___^
Now... *Adds to favourites and waits for the wallpaper*

Awesome cute little fellow you got there Shaz!

Very well done. I miss the clouds for sure... but perhaps they come for the wallpaper? Anyway you deserve a really good pat at the back and a hug Keep up the great work!

Oh I think she's beautiful! You did an excellent job on this dragon. I LOVE the gradations you used. It's perfect. I love the colors too... a very appealing sahde of purple. I'm definately going to have to take a peek at the rest of your work. This looks great!
