Description Here's dragon #1, a red dragon. The sketch took roughly 3-4 hours I think. I used a standard 0.7mm mechanical pencil to draw it. It took quite a few hours to color, as its been a while since I've done anything in photoshop, especially coloring...
Anyway, enjoy!

RedDrgn [2007-01-03 21:18:22 +0000 UTC]

Beautiful! I really love that horn design. It's a great twist and change over what people most commonly put on a dragon's head. The scale detailing is highly impressive, and the color scheme and shading is no less so. Lovely work!

Ex-Shadow In reply to RedDrgn [2007-01-03 21:31:43 +0000 UTC]

Thank you, I pride myself with the horns on this one, the idea just sort of popped into my head one day so I thought I'd draw it out. I was thinking some dragons have horns that curl forward, and others that jet out straight back, but what if I made horns that went both ways? Anyway, thx for the praise, and for the fav as well
