Description woot. Finally uploaded it.

Don't be mistaken by the metallic scales: on Tymaera metallic doesn't ='good' and chromatic doesn't mean 'evil'... (that tends to be governed more by Bloodline or individual leanings) Tymaeran dragons angle more toward 'lawful' and 'chaotic' respectively ... it just means this guy's probably not going to randomly bite your head off for the fun of it (unless you give him a good reason to). And he wouldn't feel sorry for you if he did - gold dragons are notoriously up their own arses about other species being inferior to dragons (rather like reds, but with better tempers).

The purple eye... besides it being a nice complement to the gold (so I thought ), there's another reason - the typical breath weapon of Tymaeran gold dragons is a kind of supercharged liquid potassium (which you may remember from chemistry lessons at school ignites in air and burns with a luvverly purple colour) so purple seemed to make sense.



This one comes up lovely as a print, btw ... (not that I'm dropping hints about buying 'em or anything, it's just my local printer did an awesome job with some copies I'm gonna take to Dragon*con).

He's long. And mean looking. I like the beard.

Thank you! I didn't want him to be the typical 'good' dragon that always seems to be associated with that colour

Wouldn't want to wake up with that on my bed though D:
My house might already be burnt down by the time I would wake up anyway.. xD

lol, yeah... with the size these dragons get to waking up with one on one's bed would probably result in getting squished!

I can imagine it, too:

everyone dies.

Ooo, I can see the cat you mentioned you referenced this from.
Is it just me, or cats and dragons alike in many ways?

Is it possible for something to look totally regal and totally evil at the same time? Apparently, because you've pulled it off

Wow! I haven't taken a look at your stuff in awhile but this is great! The color scheme is awesome, very original, and the anatomy and pose are perfectly done as far as I can see. Damn, you're gonna make a lot of money at Dragoncon if you're gonna be open for commissions!
