Description The Ewok draggie!

Out of the Frozen To The Core Egg: [link] & [link]

Shadows Of The Forest Blue Orykoth
Dipped in midnight blue, this dragonet's flattened muzzle and shortened snout sweep back to curving headknobs as faceted eyes gleam beneath deeply hued eyeridges, light against the darkness. The deep grey-blue hues gather over the curves of his short, wide neck even as it flows immediately into well-built shoulders. Prussian blue settles in heavy shadows over his wide back, draping down his sides, gathering around short limbs until ebony talons take hold. Glaucous speckles his belly, the lighter hues giving a sun-dappled appearance to his hide, chasing away the cloak of darkness from between front limbs to the end of his tail, appearing again on the translucent sails that spread from midnight spar to midnight spar. Pale carolina blue ridges meander down his back - hardly mountains - instead merely hills upon the shadow-drenched landscape of his shortened frame.

Created by Orla-player & L'ton-player

Orykoth is based off the Ewoks from Star Wars. I hope I got his color close to it. >.< Some of the sections were a bit confusing as to where the dark was and where the light was.

Anyhow, admittedly he's not as squat and stocky as he should be, but I'm predisposed to drawing blues as thinner. Mind his wings are shielding most of his body anyway.

Thanks! It is rather curious how apart from Thianth they all ended up rather pale in at least 50% of their body, hehe

you're welcome I think it looks good - and unique. It's a difficult position to get right, anatomy-wise, I'd think, but you did it perfectly =]

Wow he's really beautiful! The only sad part about your Pern dragon drawings is how pathetic they make the book covers look.

XD! Wow, thanks! Hehe... actually those silly bug looking critters (with the exception of All The Weyrs Of Pern & The White Dragon covers) are why I started drawing my own dragons. Still a ways to go that will help if I get my butt on the whole digital thing, but yeah thanks so much!

zeralia In reply to lunatteo [2010-04-20 13:01:07 +0000 UTC]

I find that a lot of descriptions are often difficult to pinpoint, so it's best to just tinker or go with what looks "natural" or believable. XD Which is why I liked what you did with Orykoth. It looks like a natural "point" like marking. :3

lunatteo In reply to zeralia [2010-04-23 01:59:29 +0000 UTC]

I agree. I think that's why Thianth was so hard to do. It wasn't very natural/believable a pattern, so I tried to make it at least feasible. Oh well. >.< I guess his rider wasn't really pleased with it so >.> not gonna bother redoing it.
