Thank you. He needs some cleaning-up, but if you're working with traditional media for most of these, you should be able to color right over my scratchy shading.

Thanks! Details are what make these drawings so much fun.

Thanks very much. I'm hoping that I'll tickle the fancy of some colorists! Lord knows it's gonna be quite a while before I can get back to this guy.

I've always liked Celtic knots. You brought it into an illusion of 3D and made it dragon-kind. Very cool.

I've never been able to get my mind wrapped up in Celtic knotwork properly. I don't think in organized patterns very well - well, that, and I'm just lazy. I like the organic stuff with lots of variation, and occasionally I can make it work to the benefit of a drawing!

did you just do random lines, or do you know where each part of its body is?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know where each body part is, for the most part. I plan everything along a central axis that winds through the whole dragon. Stuff gets concealed, naturally, but it was all there in the initial layout.

well good. nothing worse than a quantum physics dragon being in 6 different parts on 12 planes of existence

O_o
...I may have to figure out how to draw that...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
let me know once you figure out what those 12 dimensions are. I hear they can be pretty tricky to understand with our limited intelligence

Actually, I suspect Rachel ALWAYS knows where her dragon parts are!

hehehe I always hope she does. It would be a travesty to see a dragon with a penis for a wing

When I think how MOST people spend their lunchtimes . . . I'd say you put yours to extra-good use! Really beautiful!

A whole hour to myself, undisturbed... Are you kidding?! LOL... Love my lunchtime. It's good for making small drawings to fill in the time between the big, full-color projects.

the intricacy of this piece is incredible. thank goodness for lunchtime, huh?
detail. wow.

Gotta have my daily drawing break or I go crazy. And with all those computers, crazy can be troublesome at times...

looks very jumbled up.....not exactly like a tattoo....but still unique because of all the detail
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I didn't plan this one with the linework I usually use in tattoo design, though it could still work out as such.

Hehe, he looks so happy to be all knotted up!

I really do like horribly tangly critters just lately... They're a delightful challenge - like reverse-engineering a jigsaw puzzle or something.

LOL - Yep. Mind you, it's an elaborate doodle, but it didn't have any planning or pre-sketching or anything. It just came out of the end of my pencil in phases like this.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Very elaborate doodle at that.
How come our best stuff comes out when we just wanted to doodle, instead of when we have it so planned?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think some of the best stuff winds up in my sketchbook because I'm not consciously trying to work the design - I'm letting my instincts just play with an idea without paying much attention to the rules.

And that is where talent ensues, too!

And I thought my dragons could be complicated *Faves*

It's just a question of how far we're willing to go before our eyes go all crossed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's a good point. Apparently it dosn't take much for me to reach that point.........that and the fact that I don't have the patience for it XD
Absolutly love this by the way.

Thank you. I'm glad you like it.

I can't imagine how you kept everything straight when going from pencil to ink. O_o It's amasing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I keep it straight with the scales, actually. They all point in one direction, and I just follow them along the dragon's body. Before I have the scales laid in there, I just draw little arrows.

crafty!

Yes... I wonder if it bounces?

that knot looks a bit painful for the guy, with all those wings

*snicker* Logistics has no place here...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nice! great details, especially having that many without any cluttering.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Technically, I don't have this much patience, either. That's why I spread out the drawing over three weeks.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
holy crap my eyes are crossing. Look at all the miniscule detail. I like detail but you take it to a whole new level. ^_~ You have more patience than I do. I really love how this one came out. Are you going to color this one? If you do can use greens/yellows/oranges. Well..unless of course you had something else in mind. I really love how his tail swirls around and twists. +Fave
