Description I should use markers more. I've had a set of greyscale kurecolour ones for a bit ('cos it was get them in a sale for £10 or get a Tria set for £60ish) but not used them yet. So I drew this doody.

I also should draw more metallic dragons.

the title reminded me of an old anime series I watched years ago, named Legend of the Dragon Kings or something. Iron Dragon was one of a family of four people who had the ability to transform into dragons - sounds a bit crap but it's done in a good way (from what i remember). I've been trying to get a hold of it for ages but it's not sold on DVD in UK format and it's rare enough for it to be impossible to download (and 6GB at that).

but yeah. nice dragon has a very alien-like structure to it's back and tail

*nods* "Legend of the Four Kings". I borrowed the series off a friend a few years ago on VHS. It was quite good (but some bits really annoyed me, like the 'freeze frames' they kept doing), though I still prefer western dragons.
Have you tried looking on ebay? Failing that, multiregion DVD players are pretty cheap these days I got mine for £100ish 3 years ago and they've come down a long way in price! YOu can also get cracks to make a pc DVD drive multiregion, though I'm not sure where to download them from.

Purty, shiney dragon! I like the skull look of the head and the saw blade motife on the spine ridge. I'd say that he looks rather disgusted about something.

drakhenliche In reply to RedDrgn [2006-01-06 12:33:00 +0000 UTC]

Heh, I thought that myself after I'd drawn it. I was going to title it 'disapproving dragon' until I decided to attack it with markers.

But Black Sabbath are a good band to want to listen to!
I think I used the wrong word in that description. I use the word 'doody' as a substitute for 'jobby' or 'thing', rather than doodle. The markers took some time 'cos I was scared of bolloxing it up.

The shine on the scales turned out really well, there's a cool metallic feel to it.

Thank you! About halfway through I thought I'd ruined it by using too many shades of grey, but the last couple of layers seemed to rescue this! And then I used a white gel pen to bring up the more detailed highlights I couldn't get 'cos the marker nibs were too thick.

Thank you! This was actually my first try with my grayscale ones. I'm going to try and use them more often now - they're fun!

Thanks! Shiny's what I was going for. I was going to add a sort of mottled rust colour to his wings but, uh, didn't.

EEeee! That's the best comment I've had on this one! I'll have to work with markers more often ^_^ (o'course, it helps to use ones that lay down the ink evenly).

Cheers! I didn't expect the metallic look to work too well but the final two shades of grey I used (the darkest since I work from light to dark) really made it!
