Description THe preview image looks like a highway sign to me... Anyways! My very own cuddly furry huggable squishy dragon, Kiwerti! First to figure out where the name comes wins a dragon doodle!

As the header says, Kerti's a Teal-Gry fur dragon. I classify my dragons by body & main accent colours and external characteristics (such as fur, spike, plate, etc). I really don't know what the main body colour is, so I'm sticking with teal for now. x__x Fur dragons hail from colder climates and are among the smallest of all dragons. Kerti is an adult and can barely gobble down a humanoid without tearing it to pieces... tsk, tsk.

Notes on the image explain appearance. The hieghts are pretty general... Kerti is formt he same time period as Wodan, so I used him as hieght example. The sketch labels Woden as 5'7 so I did some stuff with a handy-dandy tape measure and figured out Kerti's hieght at the wing... shoulder bit. GO METRIC!

Kiwerti is MALE, if anyone wonders. :0 Ice/Light bias, primary is also Ice. At this time period, he is one of the last dragons left in the world (they go extinct LIKE DINOSAURS! Kekeke... I had to say that... eheh). Though not exactly the last roaming the wild... He rather does enjoy cultured company over the violent urges of most other dragonkind. FOr whatever reasons, Kerti joins the Aluta (humanoid country) forces in their fight against the nameless home country (still working on that) and ends up being in a occupational force (or something) that takes over Wodan's hometown/village/city/thing, but since the great majority of the people there sympathize with the Alutagai, Kiwerti & co get to stay there over the winter while being fed munchy cookies & stuff. Winter = total gridlock, man. :0 And that's when the main stuff happens... dun dun dun!! Torren also gets to play a part in this, yay for him! (Torren lurks in my scraps... ke)

And some side stuff...
~My bro says he's light blue BUT HE LOOKS TO GREEN TO BE BLUE so I say teal. Yeah.
~Kerti should be blue anyways, 'cause the dragons' main colour always reflects their primary element. Ice = blue.
~The original sketch dates Aug 9th. Aisde from the sketch stuff, this took about 6 hours to make. x_o
~The circle designs mean nothing, but the purple used in them is the colour used to shade & highlight XD
~The mottled spots on the fur & wings were made with the same blue on the multiply mode at 20% opacity.
~My bro also says Kerti looks just like a D&D silver dragon, but aside form the plates on the head & horn colour, he doesn't! I know what makes a silver, and Kerti doesn't fit. It's a fur-fin frill, not a... frilly frill!
~I know some things are mucked up with the forelegs.
~Kerti is the short version of Kiwerti, though I suppose 'Kiti' would be acceptable XD

you are really good at dragon anatomy, and i think i can see some D6D influences here and there, just as I sometimes see in some of my art, it's hard to get away from because it's such a good dragon style, but you hvae some really unique things too and I admire that!

A winner is you! <3 You correctly guessed the origin of his name, and win a dragon doodle, roughly on par with my previous deviation. :B Any specific dragon or characteristics you want it to have?

And, may I ask... are you Kip from the Ani-pock boards? O.o

Gee, I've never thought of how I wanted a dragon to look before, I thought it was premade...

I may have to get back to you on that one.

Dragons come in a variety of custom packages. Feel free to browse a selection of fins, frills, claws, wings, scales and colors until you find a combination that fits you. : P If you can't decide... I'll make one up for ya. ^_^

Haikera-Baiketsu In reply to pargile [2006-08-24 17:40:51 +0000 UTC]

That's three for purple. O_o Maybe just 'cause of the shading? The main body colour is right between magenta and green, I think... Just for hue.

It's sorta a purply colour...
Wings are a good size. Have you been reading Dragonology, by off chance? I own every single Dragonology book that exists...well, one of each, that's what I meant.
I love the eyes. Like gems.

I have the book 'Dragonology' (big fat red one), and the D&D supplement 'Draconomicon.' I haven't read either recently, but I usually refer back to the Draconomicon when drawing dragons. ^^

he looks really good. And the story sounds interesting too. The forelegs look fine, like a stout winter built dragon. I really like the wings as well.

He looks a light lavender to me. XDD

hhee fur on the wings! DOH! you thought about it before I did! ehehhe I was too busy with putting feathers on them. But like the concept of a fur and scaled dragon. And of course I like his head design. As for the legs, all I can say is that they look little too short, but I think that's just part of his design so I'll pardon you on that.

So what kind of project is he in?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Haikera-Baiketsu In reply to SpaceDragon [2006-08-24 02:10:15 +0000 UTC]

Maybe I should make a poll to decide his colour XD

The short limbs are intentional. Longer extremities would get cold fast! :0 Even the wings are short; about half the size in preportion of another dragon I have. Fur is on the wings for the same reason. Also nice to snuggle up in. ^-^ Even ice-based dragons need to maintain a warmish temperature, and I figure fur does the job better than scales.

Kerti's from part of my ever expanding personal project, I guess is best to say... From an earlier time period, where magic is still dominant over technology. I just call this part "F-E: Gods' War," which is stupid, becuase the people have no concept of gods... But it sort of fits.
