Description Taushin, the hatchling from the doomed prophesied legend, from Dragons of Starlight book series by Bryan Davis. Bryan Davis is the same author of Dragons in Our Midst series and Oracles of Fire btw. I've read the first two books of Dragons in Our Midst but stopped reading them a while ago. O_o But I highly respect this author. His work was rejected about 200 times

I just finished Dragons of Starlight series today with the final book, "Liberator". While I wasn't totally captivated, this 'omg I can't put this down' type of books, I still enjoyed the series. The dragons were very strong in character so of course, I bonded with them(didn't bond with the people as much lol )

Taushin wasn't my top favorite dragon from the series but I believed he was very well written. He is devious, an excellent influence, and can lie and make you believe him. As I progressed through the books, it became harder and harder for me to tell if he was lying or telling the truth. He was a sneaky little bastard indeed. And blind too! He is an incredibly sharp tool of the shed, even if he doesn't have one of his senses. 

I think this song matches Taushin: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQIbdx… ^^

I plan to draw the others as well, mostly dragons like Arxad, Magner, Alaph, and maybe a few others. 

I found a stunning lack of artwork for this series(only found piece of art that had any relation to the books ) on dA. So here, we are slowly changing that.


I have a lot of stuff on my to-do list including refs, The Dragon Project(we are throwing these guys into the dragon project too), and my animation series which I'm slowly reviving with a better plot(a lot better!). 

Anyway, enjoy. ^^

Fantastic series and nice use of color.  Taushin is very cunning and intelligent.

Wow I must read this book now after reading all this. I have read the Dragons In Our Mist series and I have started the Oracles of Fire, I did enjoy them. Glad to see I'm not the only one.

The artwork you have done is excellent and you bring out his fearsomeness quite well.

Thank you very much. ^^ If you did enjoy Dragons in our Mist, then you will certainly enjoy this series as well.

But evil dragons! waa, I don't know if I can handle any feelz if there are some in there. lol the world is too complicated for books that cause feelz. I just finished one like that.

Yeah there are some evil dragons(mostly one or two, depending on your point of view) in there but I didn't really connect to them too much versus the good dragons(which is usually the opposite for me ). Those books do contain some feelings though, just letting you know.

Jennifer,

A friend showed me your superb artwork. I'm glad you enjoyed reading Dragons of Starlight. Taushin was a fun character to create. Sometimes he became so crafty, I wondered myself if he was telling the truth or not.  

Thank you for this great drawing. I would love to see you draw Arxad. He was my favorite dragon in the series, and his personal story is even more detailed in the companion series, Tales of Starlight.

Cosmic-Cucumbers In reply to Arxad [2014-07-04 02:01:24 +0000 UTC]

Wow, am I seriously talking to the author here? I personally never saw that one coming, haha. 

Thank you for your kind words! Arxad is also my favorite followed closely by Alaph. I definitely plan to draw quite a few them. Dragons of Starlight was definitely a good series that I read. Saying that the series is unique is an understatement. It was very creative and very intriguing as was Dragons in Our Midst(which I have to begin reading them again). I will definitely look into getting Tales of Starlight at one point. I can definitely say that I look up to you as an idol. I've read that your work has been rejected 200 times in attempt at getting a publisher but you pressed on and finally got them published. That takes quite some perseverance. I hope to become an author someday as well with my own tale of dragons, and hearing this is actually very encouraging to go through with my dream to be an author. 

Thank you again!

Thank you for the kind words. It's great to hear that you have enjoyed my books so much. Yes, I did receive more than 200 rejections. It was a hard road, but the journey was worth it. When you create more images of my dragons, I would love it if you would let me know - author@daviscrossing.com
