Description Sort of trade/commission thing for of her dragon character tribalised for possibly being painted on her car (I feel pitty for the one who's going to actually paint it on that car. I didn't make it really simple...) I'll get a wolf skull fom her. *squee!*

This isn't the original, I scanned a copy which I took earlier today at school. The original was sent to the new owner before I got chance to scan it (and I wanted it to be hanged on my wall. My first tribalisation ever) And I'm sorry for the line on the middle. The picture is twice the size of my scanner, so I had to scan it in two pieces (and apparently I couldn't scan them straight. The other one was tweaked a bit, as you can see in the wings.)

It took me two days to draw (tribalizing mostly. I think I killed one of my black pens) but it was actually quite fun to draw. And when I showed it to a frend of mine, she decided she wanted me to draw tribalised horse. We'll see if I get on to that...

Oh, and Zhon, I sent it today, but it was too big for any of the envelopes that were on the post office (it's A3). We managed to stitch together some sort of package, but... Well, you'll see. You'll probably have some quality time in getting it open (the drawing and the sketch are inside the cardboard that used to be a box) Oh, and I forgot to clean the sketch before I sent it. Please, don't mind those black doodles (made for my scanner. It can't see the paper without them) and the little notes I made for myself. They're in Finnish so you probably won't understand a word, but it says only that I should lower the wings (which, by the way, are still a bit too high) and change the order of legs.

I'm looking for Wolf artwork for T-Shirts. I will split profits I have the band John Kaye & Steppenwolf Tribute and am looking for designs to upload to a program that tracks sales. I play with high profile musicians and we sell a lot of music. Please feel free to contact me at SteppenwolfTribute@gmail.com

Thank you! ^^ I worked on it for two days to get it "tribalised" properly.

This is awesome Love the detail and all the accents! You know this would make a rockin animation.. maybe have the wings fluctuating a little with the breathing pattern, turn the head and possibly swoosh the tail a few times

If you did vectors it would be nice to give the painters the vectors so they can blow the image up to the car and lay it over for painting. I think..

Vectors? (Sorry, I'm not familiar with meanings of the word) I did this by hand, drew it using ordinary pencils for sketching and then inked it by hand. Only pens were used in drawing this.

Oh. Sorry Looks vector-ish.

Vectors use math to draw (ex flash) as opposed to bitmap (ex photoshop). In that case the paints if they're pro will prolly do something like that (a traceover maybe) for a more accurate painting.
