Description So, I thought it was about time I redesigned my favourite and most drawn character and here she is!

This is Lumistar. She has a last name too, but I'm keeping that close to my chest at the moment.
Lu is a fire dragon, though she does have other abilities too. The choker around her neck is made of pure gold. Also, see the gold triangle-wave-things on the smaller part of the wing membranes, nearest her body? They are only on the outside; if she had been facing toward us then membranes would be yellow, the same as the rest.

Physically, she's of average build and height, but slightly on the smaller side. Being a fire dragon, she has average flying abilities and can move around easily on the ground. She can swim, as learning how was mandatory for the school she attended. However, she will avoid it if she can and is only good enough to not drown if she falls into a lake and she cannot do it for long.

Personality-wise? She's very bubbly and happy; she loves to learn and as a result never shuts up either asking questions to learn more or chattering endlessly about some new thing she's learned. She is very bookish, but that doesn't mean that she won't slog around through a swamp on a whim; not everything can be learned from books, after all.
She holds manners in very high esteem, as she was raised by parents who were older than most and so were old-fashioned in their views on how someone should act. That said though, being raised by strict parents has resulted in a more subtle rebellious-streak. In short? She's a secret prankster, which she can masterfully cover up.

That's about it for now. Though I did listen to a song repeatedly as I was drawing this, which I like to think of as Lumistar's theme.

Lumistar belongs to me, no stealing please.

So she loves to learn about anything as if she's a sponge for knowledge (whether it be through theory or practical experience in the field), and she enjoys sharing what she knows? What subject areas does she have a particular interest or pasison for? It looks like she's generally compliant and respectful of rules and parents, but is willing to be slightly devious for her own amusment if she can get away with it.

Yeah, you pegged her personality exactly! She likes pretty much anything, though she does particularly enjoy natural history or researching new arcane magic techniques.

I haven't heard from you in ages. Have a nice Christmas and New Year?

Alright, so she's eager to learn about the evolution of the world around her, and dabble in uncommon spells? At least she has the element of surprise if ever she needs to defend herself using magic.

Yep it was pretty enjoyable, thanks! I spent Christmas day with my relatives, and for new years eve I had dinner at a Singaporean restaurant and watched the fireworks. My friends went nightclubbing but I wasn't really keen. What'd you get up to over the festive season?

Yup! Though she'd no doubt surprise herself just as much!

Pretty much the same as you. I spent my Christmas with family too, stuffing my face with real home-cooked food. That's the best part about coming home from Uni for Christmas: the food! As for New Year's? Went to the pub and had a few glasses of wine with my sister (I think the total was 4. Either way, we shared two bottles between us). Then, we came home well before midnight to do what we always do and watch the London fireworks at midnight on TV with the family and a glass of champagne. Hannah got a gift of a selection of 5 different vodka flavours for Christmas as well, so we also had a shot of each flavour each to see what they tasted like after that.

...Yeah, I was rather drunk by the end of it all.

Gosh that sounds pretty good! What kind of home-cooked food did you enjoy during your stay? Anyone would think you just ate canned food during the uni term XD (but I can't talk). Lots of wine, Champagne and Vodka... yeah I can imagine one would get kinda sloshed from that! What are Hannah and yourself like, when yous get tipsy? Seems like you had a top night. I shall have to see the London fireworks on web sometime, I guess they'd be pretty spectacular.

Anything and everything! We had our usual duck, turkey and pork along with veg for our Christmas dinner. We have a buffet on Boxing Day and we've taken to having beef wellingtons on New Year's Day. All in all? My tummy was happy!

Both of us tend to just get loud and silly, really. Though I also get giggly and Hannah... hugs. It was good fun, though. The fireworks weren't as good as last year because they were made to anticipate the Olympics and the Queen's Diamond Jubilee; it's a little hard to top that! XD

Nice to see Lu again. I especially like her wings here. (Sorry for not replying to these sooner, I'm working now and I don't get on often)

Ah, I was just gonna ask how college and what-not are going, it's been ages since I've spoken to 'ya!

Yeah, Lu has been sadly neglected recently. She was due for a make-over.

Also... Merlin in a few days! YAY!! XP

Yeah, on an apprenticeship at a nearby (if nearby means two bus journeys away!) nursery. I love it but it ain't half knackering. O_O

Lol, all my dragons have been left in the dark for a while as well.

You're joking! I haven't seen any of the ads for it. :/

I love it. This new design is much better than the old one. There's more difference in colors so it makes it easier to color and shade. Plus I love the star on her tail! hehehehe.

Me? A legend? Me? I don't know what to say...
Fffff....

Phoenix-Flyer In reply to Dark-Spine-Dragon [2012-10-01 22:48:48 +0000 UTC]

Of course you do...

Yeah, I know what you mean. As I mentioned once, I was always reluctant to change her. But, now that I have, I really do prefer this version of her.

You don't need to say nothing, because that's what you are!!

Like I've been saying; This is prolly the best design/pic of Lu I have ever seen. I love her new design; it makes her stand out in a crowd more! I actually like her new marking now; it's less obvious and can be concealed with ease. Poor Soma's is just out in the open.

Also, I really think that this is your best art yet. You really are getting better every pic; keep it up!
