Description hello all, I was DYING to get this up here! omg I was going to do it last night, but was tooooooo tired, and then today we went to Venice (beach, not italy ) so I couldnt do it until noooooooww!!! okay, but here we go

This is a dragon's eye in extreme detail (duh) but if you look closer to the eye itself you can see the reflection of what it is flying over! A burning kingdom- castle and surrounding village in all.

I haven't exactly decided the story, its for you all to imagine, but I'm pretty sure the dragon is a he. I wanted his eye to be open slightly wider than what it would normally be, sort of in surprise, or shock, but otherwise it is emotionless. Is this because the kingdom was corrupt? Did he set it on fire? I don't know, why dont you all write your ideas in the comments? I'd like to hear your ideas.

I wanted the eye to be very clear, I tried so hard not to smudge it like how I usually kill my art, but I didnt succeed too well in keeping it clear. after doing the different layers in the eye of the 'color' (I wanted to make it look like fire. I'm talking about the swirlies if I'm starting to get confusing), and then the village and then the fire and then the smoke... yeah, smudgeville. and I had been intending on doing the shinies, on the eye, but I decided it was shading enough. And I didnt want it to look too wet, because I'm making a series out of these! well, I guess its not a 'series', but I'm going to do a bunch of them. and one of them will be crying, so that is where I will do the shinies. or when. I need to stop talking now.

thanks for looking! I hope you love it as much as I doooooo
oh, btw, I'll put up a WIP picture of this, when I was watching TV my new puppy decided to crawl up on my lap and go to sleep and its suuuuuuch an adorable picture, and its before the eye got so smudgy. I love it. so I'll put it up soon. okay, ahve a nice morning/afternoon/niiiight

I love your drawings. You style is...awesome. And I love how everything is reflected in the eye, instead of it being just a blank circle. And I don't think it looks sumdged at all, I think it looks perfect just the way it is! That I can picture the rest of him just from his eye says something

yay! I can too lol. gooooo fantasy addicts!!
some of the eye is reflection, and some of it is the eye itself- remember how detailed the littler ones are, in my char ref sheets? yeah, I wuv detail

oh cool, I think it looks a bit.....I dunno. the dark looks more...well... I dunno. I guess Im just used to seeing digital shading. but I still am proud of it. and the scaaaaales

~ooh...~
~he does NOT look like the kind of dragon you'd want to mess with~
~i feel like he would have a pretty big distrust of everyone, both humans and other dragons~
~so he cuts himself off from all other living creatures and--

~oh, great~
~i'm slippin into fanfic mode...~

~anyway, those scales are incredible, and it looks like Sauron's living in his eyes~

~this is awesome!~

awwwhhhh, thank you! I'm glad sooooomebody likes it

lol, yeah, he looks...tough, I guess. very wise, but young enough to whip you back into shape. I was leaning toward him just seeing the burning village and not helping them, more than him causing it, y'know? If he cause it, he'd be more smug about it (and there'd be more fiiiiiiree!!)

and fanfic mode is perfectly acceptable especially when it comes to dragons.

and omg the scales took forever, and I actually dont like the top ones very much. I wish I stopped after the second 'layer' up top, or whatever you call it, I'm not sure XDD. but a lot of effort was put into it and I'm glad you like it
