Description Another drawing from my sketchbook, with Twilight and older Spike.

I tried out something different with the shading and lights. Maybe I shouldn't had.^^'''''

I love these pictures, with older Spike and alicorn Twilight. I'm not even sure why, I just love how Spike, a character who is usually shoved to one side, now can't be ignored because he fills a whole lot of the screen.

I don 't know. Β I think that by the time spike is this big, Twilight would be slightly bigger too. Β The alicorns seem to grow to a full size horse over time.

Did you etch your name into Twilight's reading glasses?Β  She doesn't look impressed.

This is also almost exactly like I thought Twilight would start growing into a full alicorn.Β  She looks nice, spike's not to shabby either.Β  Young and powerful pair of apprentices those two.

I can't believe the smooth shading you're able to put into a vector. I'm having trouble with inkscape's tools, I might look into other programs. What do you use?

DarkSniperKnight [2013-05-20 01:54:11 +0000 UTC]

Awesome picture, but I cant help to wonder, would it be comfortable to sleep on a dragon? They re cold blooded, so you cant be sharing body heat, and they re hard, so not as a pillow. Hmm, I guess I would as a back scratcher...

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Gear-Actua In reply to DarkSniperKnight [2013-05-21 01:32:09 +0000 UTC]

First off coldblooded is a sketchy term and dragons may not be at all what with them being raging infernos inside depending on your mythos. Aside from that, it wouldnt be much different than leaning up against furniture covered with any other reptile skin.
Last but not least, texture in the scales can vary widely across the body and while when the belly is banded it is often smooth when moving front to back, without a detailed inspection or a super high res pic of closeup scales, there is no way of knowing whether they're like glass or tree bark.
Personally speaking I like to think that they're smooth like mother of pearl with a soft satin finish with the spade of the tail being rough and perhaps even sharp.
This wouldn't be true of all dragons but it seems to follow his style. While fairly tough to damage, it would not be unreasonable to recline against such a surface, particularly if the underlying frame was giving.
