Description Another black and white experiment. I didn't really plan the composition at all like I should have. Stars were a bit of a pain.

This is just all kinds of awesome. The dragon seems like it's riding the clouds. I really love pretty much everything about this. Great job!

Awww, thanks! I'm glad you like it, I'm tempted to do another one that's similar in these to this one but more detailed.

Holy heck, did you just kinda colour all around those stars? My hat off to you, good lady! And that is one adorable dragon! :>

Haha, yes I did. ^_^ 'Twas a little time consuming. My pen, it hates me.

As with your betta series, I'm really impressed at how well you keep the core design and aesthetics of the series consistent but find new ways to utilize it each time. Also, that is a SUPER cool looking dragon. <3

Thanks, I'm trying to mess with new dragon design ideas. Each drawing I think I learn a little more, and the bits I learn that work to great effect get turned into new ideas. The black and white stuff might take another turn soon though because I'm learning about fractals and I'm tempted to experiment with them a little.

So can we expect more fanciful dragon design ideas in the future, then? I'd say I'm pretty down with that. 83

Ooh-hoo-hoo, fractals...sounds exciting. <3 Best of luck.

Hehe, yes, there are definitely more dragons coming along. ^_^

Haha, I feel mixed about fractals because I don't like most of the digital fractal art I see. But I'm thinking of... uh, handdrawing some ideas. It's quite possible I'm crazy, but I'll start small and simple.

Thanks.

:yay! :...wait, did you say dragons?

If you are crazy, you are the best kind of crazy, my friend. <3 Your idea sounds intriguing and difficult, but that's just the right recipe for greatness, right? Best of luck. ^_^

Welcome. <3

Eee! ...I just watched that episode! Just! As in, ran upstairs a few minutes ago after finishing it! Well that answers quite a few of my questions about dragons in the FiM world. ^__^

Talk about timing. 8D Though I'm curious; do you mean "Dragonshy" (Fluttershy episode focused on a Dragon sleeping atop a mountain) or "Secret of My Excess" (Spike episode, about his growing into a full-fledged dragon uncontrollably)?

kaikaku In reply to Gojira007 [2012-01-15 01:36:30 +0000 UTC]

The "Secret of my Excess" episode. Oh, come to think of it, scared-y Fluttershy would have been from the Dragonshy one. Hmm. Whoops!

Hehe, well either way I don't mind. ^__^

I just loved the "Secret of my Excess" epi so darn much for some reason.

I wouldn't really call it a "whoops"; FiM + Dragons can lead one's mind just as easily to "Secret of my Excess" as to "Dragonshy", Fluttershy notwithstanding, and my over-active brain just can't stand to live with any degree of uncertainty. If it's anyone's "whoops", it's mine for needing to know which ep you meant when it didn't really matter. ^_^
