Description Noes! I'm joining in the flow! I can't believe this is happening XD
Happy HELLWEEN you ghosts, ghouls, witches, werewolves, vampires, creatures of darkness and evil spirits! We all luv you! I know you love us too (fairly cooked, heheh).


Now to business.
How did the dragon end up inside an abnormally huge pumpkin? Fairly simple, he teased the wrong spirits XD This had to happen. It is your des-tiny, young Skywalk.... errr, Lapis. I know, I've watched too much Star Wars lately. I wonder, perhaps I should have added a tie fighter silhouette on that blue moon? Or at least an imperial shuttle? Nah, next time.
So, not much more there to say. I'm not very good at drawing pumpkins. No wonder, with next to no practice at all until now. A few more HellOweeN's and I might master them. But a spontaneous idea had to happen anyway, and of course I turned into another lighting and composition practice. Rule number one: never too many light sources XD I like 'em of different colors because I like making my life.... weirder. Originally just blues and oranges, but for some reason I wanted to add green too. I tried different variations, this one worked best for me. I hope you like the combination. Also, no clue where this green light is coming from.

Important thing is: unamused dragon is ....amusing XD


Noooo references nor textures (although I could have added a few).
Original size: 1200 x 800 px. PS CS6 (don't tell 'em), several hours I guess.

lol, I had quite a wtf moment and needed a long time to figure out what the Hell is "Des Tiny" and where the Hell did it pop out from XD
Ummm, it's not that I don't like pumpkins, just being stuffed into one is not my favourite type of entertainment.

Dragon-fang2 In reply to lapis-lazuri [2014-10-30 20:04:38 +0000 UTC]

yep. Des Tiny, apparently the *SPOLIER ALERT*

I'm not a fan of the taste, although I might leave one out as an offering...
or some stir fry or something.

Ummm.... I have no idea what you'd spoil there, but well.
Even so, you couldn't deny in combinations it can be amazing and thus it contributes to some awesome desserts.

Des Tiny was Darrans farther, something crazy about how Des couldn't give his power to a child born to him but if he created a child in someone elses womb without inpregnating them would allow it or something... it was crazy.
Not really... I don't do fruit in desserts.

Wha? How can you imagine I have any power whatsoever over squirrels? Mate.... They are KNOWN to do just what's on their mind.

I don't want to be eaten by them, haven't you seen what they do to poor pumpkins like myself?

Yes, but I think they prefer cakes....

I'm not talking about those squirrels, but normal ones. Just google images for squirrels in pumpkins and you'll see what I'm talking about.
