This is lineart for a project that looks fairly ambitious inside my head. I'm planning to do to this guy what I did to Draconigena Noctiluca , in that I'm going to color him, cut him out, then "float" him over a background that involves a great deal of layered acrylic paint, shiny bits, and something embossed into repousse metal.

It'll be a bit before I get to it, though, so other colorists are welcome to play with him in the meantime.

Yes, I used my computer to make his wings symmetrical. I don't do symmetry very well without mechanical assistance. I scanned the right half of the design, mirrored it, then printed it out very, very lightly. I inked the printout.

I can't do symmetry worth toffee. I don't blame you for going the computer assisted route. Still looks beautiful, though. Very fond of the horns.

Oh, I always go the computer-assisted route with symmetry. I don't do symmetrical designs very often because they're such a pain in the butt, but every once in a while, it just appeals to the design-centers of my brain.

Dude, this would make an amazing tattoo.. You come up with so many interesting ideas...

Totally love the way you did the wings.

rachaelm5 In reply to Mystofeles [2011-04-02 20:59:38 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I was thinking it would make a good chest or back plate. But I was designing it purely for the sake of designing it; tattoo art was a fortunate happenstance. Thanks!

Hey, sometimes that's just how it goes! I don't plan half the stuff I do.... o.O seems to look like clarp if I try to.

Duzloo [2011-03-31 07:08:38 +0000 UTC]

Great idea to print it lightly out and to ink it manually. THis way it's still different from the other wing yet it is indeed symmetrical. Nice work.

Thank you!

I do prefer the hand-drawn look, and it saved me the time of using tracing paper!

I'm loving thism its so pretty!

I should introduce you to a wonderful program called Sketchbook PRO. which has a symmetrical drawing option 8D it makes life awesome.

Thank you!

I might look at Sketchbook PRO, but I'm still a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to truly digitized artwork. I like the *feel* of hand-drawn artwork, even after all these years.
