Description The finished (or nearly finished, anyways) version of this: [link]

I tried using charcoal for the darkest shading at one point...and then stopped when it looked like it was just messing up the pic a bit...

This picture is messy. All that graphite...

Your shading is gorgeous! (I hope I spelled that right... how embaressing)

I also like the sprawled out look of the dragon. Either very relaxed, or just waking up, I think. ^^

Beautiful work Nep! I love the gradiation and all the shadows along those scales. Looks like tedious work! HIs mane and his expression are quite cool.

DO MORE GRAPHITE STUFF! You're really good at it!!

I love the maws you give your creatures . . . and all you need to do is change the eye shape a bit and you have a totally different looking creature . . . you should do that, just little studies of the same creature with different expressions . . .

Truely wonderful dragon, though, he's so prettyful.

He looks like my dragon in D&D! His name is Cuddles. I named him that for the sheer reason of yelling "SHUT UP CUDDLES!"

But much graphite is good! I love graphite. It is a bit tedious due to its smudge factor though.. keeping up good light-dark contrast. As long as its not -too- pumeled in though, its still workable.. until the paper gives out. q:
And I aggree.. this is very nice. I am not used to your graphite drawings, but I really like this one ive seen so far. I love traditional media. Some of the shade areas in this are attractive.. and the detail obviously adds to that.

That is one of your best work I've ever seen. You've managed to capture every last detail of the creature from the scales to the fur.
