Description "When you've fallen as far as you can, the only way to fly is up;
there is flight in these wings yet."



Happy Birthday Windridres !Β Just thought I'd make a little something that's inspirational/motivating for you, hope you like it ;u;

Bust/half-body shot of her Istarian Dragon, Windridres, ascending into the skies.
Wind is described to have "scales that gives you the impression as if she is moving with a soft breeze; as if she is made from a part of the sky". I had hoped to capture that effect^^"



Windridres belongs to Windridres . Only she is allowed to use it.
Artwork is mine.

This is so pretty! Wind is such a pretty dragoness, and your art makes her look so beautiful <3 I love your shading and the pose! The quality of her scales is amazing, I definitely think you captured that effect ^^!

Thank you Cassy! I'm glad you think so ;u; I was worried about it since my last piece of Wind 2 years ago didn't quite get the effect I wanted x'DΒ

Latrans ...I .. IΒ  ...

Β *beams and hugs you tightly, snuggling you firmly*

Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou^^

This is so beautifull! ^^
It realy gives me the feeling of being able to fly when looking at it^^

This is already the second drawing you made for me to inspire and encourage me
I'm so honoured and proud^^
You should draw more pics like this for people^^ You realy have this special kind of style, use of colours and shape that gives one the feeling you try to give someone^^

You realy did catch my scales perfectly^^ It looks nearly like I'm growing out of the sky around me

You're an awesome friend and mentor Latrans ^^ I'm so happy to have you as both


"I will fly up!^^ I promise. And I'll give my very best to reach the heavens once more ^^"

;U; I'm so glad you like it Wind!

Yes, when I was both planning the picture and drawing it, I had it clearly in my mind that I want the picture to convey a powerful feeling of flightΒ and upwards.Β 
And thank youuuu so much ;u; those words really make my day! It makes me so happy to know that my pictures can 'speak' in the way I want the viewer to 'feel' when they look upon it. That's really what I want to achieve ;u;

Keep flying up, Wind!Β

How can I not like it^^

You realy did an amazing artwork here Latrans^^

I'm so honoured and proud it's for me

I put it as my background the moment I got it XD


I will keep flying^^ I feel myself rising once more^^
I just have to keep using that uprising wind and not drop out of it again

kuroya-ken In reply to Windridres [2014-09-08 09:28:24 +0000 UTC]

You use it as background? O_O on your phone? Does it work? xD The size-ratio doesn't seem right, does it look pixelated or too zoomed-in?

Yes, fly, fly high!
And know that even if you do drop, just flap a bit and you'll be airborne in no time >:3
The trick is not to 'never fall', but 'to fly back up again' when you do.

naw XD on my laptop^^
On my phone I have the other one you made for me a while ago^^
I cut off a bit to make it fit teh screen, but it's still mostly there^^

*nods* I know^^
My fear more is that I get cocky or to certain of myself and dont flap soon enough beforeΒ  hit the ground, or nearly hit the ground, and have to fight myself up again

Oh, I see I see xD I'm so honoured though, since now you have actually two pieces of my works as your background ;U; thank you for liking my works so much Winnnnd<3

Nah, since you know you have to keep yourself in check, it's as good a precaution as any >:3 you'll be fine!

Ooooh omggggΒ awesome!!! God I'm so jealous of your dragon anatomy I don't know what the fuck to do when drawing dragonsΒ LOL
Nice contrast also Winddd is like the mid-day sky and then you've got like the noon sky at the back

I bet Wind is gonna love it!! And it's early ;33

WOW though you've improved so much I'm just looking at the Wind you drew before and then now!!

kuroya-ken In reply to FruffyCat [2014-08-25 09:06:57 +0000 UTC]

;U; d'awwwwww thankssssssssssssssss I guess I kinda just 'wing' it when it comes to dragons since there's no real and proper 'dragon anatomy' to look at x'D though my main source of reptilian anatomy inspiration is mostly gators and raptors/dinos (LOL) and then there are bats to look at for wings but I donno asldkfmlmskdf thank youuuu ;u; maybe next time we can like do a double-join.me and try to sort of learn dragon anatomy together?

And yessss I planned for Wind and the sky behind to be a contrast in colour x'D Sort of a 'cool' colour and a 'warm' colour to go together so she doesn't 'blend in'. Skies are funnnn- both the ones on her body and wings as well as the actual one in the background x3

laskdfmlksdfmskd I saw that piece being linked under 'more from' on the right and I wanna die x'DDDDDDDDDDDD maybe I should do a 'draw-this-again' meme just to put them side by side? People are gonna laugh ROFL
