Description Gotta love my titles as of late?!

Derp. After a few short comment exchanges with =Shinerai this morning I went into 'dragon mode' & scribbled a few things. The original intention was some sort of EPIC reference in case I ever get the chance to commission or trade Shin, but the motivation dulled out; I'm still studying/learning dragon "anatomy". Yes, the tail is missing - I still can't figure out a design that would incorporate the arrow at the end. :/

Here's a neat [ one year progression shot] to share as well.

It is strange, I drew this design exactly 1yr ago.

The eyes certainly make her look more feminine as compared to her previous versions and it's an improvement. Her body doesn't look bad, but I think you need to find a better balance between the sharp dragon angles and Sonar's fuzzyness.

Sonar looks good as a dragon. I really like her anatomy. Perhaps something long as a tail that comes to a point, which could be the end of the arrow?

Nanuka In reply to miinora [2009-08-09 18:32:43 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! B) I'm not terribly comfortable with my "creature anatomy" so that's a relief! I'm considering something of that sort. :0 The traditional sort of devil-triangle-point but have some feathers at the base~

miinora In reply to Nanuka [2009-08-09 18:37:36 +0000 UTC]

No problem! That sounds like a good idea with the tail, I really like the idea of the feathers. I look forward to seeing it when you're happy with the design.

Nanuka In reply to sorjei [2009-08-09 18:19:33 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! It's hard to make her still look feminine, so I kinda go with androgynous in the design. x'D lol. You should! Dragon-like creatures are just naturally easier for me to draw than anthros but I don't want to be stereo-typed into the "my furry self can WARP INTO A DRAGON TOO OMG!" with all my characters. lmao.

XD I'd like to see Sorjei as a dragon sometime I don't know why I haven't done it yet.. Maybe because I don't know what kind of dragon? lol
When I was a kid I used to dragons all the time O: (probably because of the D&D game I used to play lmao)

Nanuka In reply to sorjei [2009-08-09 18:29:37 +0000 UTC]

My transition was - lizards, dinosaurs, dragons...then like 10 years later, anthros! And I'm not reverting back a bit, since I enjoy monsters. more. :C I'd love to see you try! I really steer clear of the seriously Eastern style since it's horridly overdone; I like 'em strong & stocky not thin & flowey. xD; lol.

sorjei In reply to Nanuka [2009-08-09 18:38:37 +0000 UTC]

oh yeah I used to be obsessed with dinosaurs! XD I fail at drawing them though >: Yeah I don't like doing eastern ones much, they are really hard for me anyway xD;
oo thanks for the wiki link! 8D
why does it seem like all these dragons are named after butterflies?! XD

I like the nose on this version. It seems more...eastern. :3 but for the tail, I'm not sure what you could do. Maybe I could doodle something up and see if it fits?

Nanuka In reply to gamegodess81 [2009-08-09 18:16:53 +0000 UTC]

I can't figure anything out that's not copying =Shinerai or =kilara ! :'< I want something long & flowey without over-doing it. lol. Thanks tho! <3 I like the snout a lot too, it was more natural to draw than the nose flaps.

gamegodess81 In reply to Nanuka [2009-08-09 18:20:13 +0000 UTC]

lol I know what you mean. They have a lot of dragon designs and it's hard to come up with something they haven't done.
But, not a problem! I was thinking the same, actually. Long and flowy, but not like a twenty foot long tail or anything xD.
The nose seems to fit her better anyways.

I may draw this a bit more later on, so I'll see. I love how Shin has those beautiful feathers on the tail; I'd like to try something similar but keep the feathers smaller & probably coloured like the wings etc. C:

gamegodess81 In reply to Nanuka [2009-08-09 18:23:18 +0000 UTC]

Ohh okay. I think i will doodle somethin in OC and send it to you to see what you think :3
Hope you come up with something, though!
