Description This is the dragon template I'm using for my next digital art project. No, I'm not yet to the point where I can start from scratch on a digital canvas... One day, perhaps. But for now, I work from a starting point like this.

I'm planning to lengthen the image area so it's long and narrow, and in the background I'm going to manipulate and stitch together some of my photos of clouds, and do other designy things besides. Should be interesting...

...And it's gonna have to wait for a week or so, because my tablet JUST DIED. Yes, I've tried reloading the software and powering down the hardware and all that good stuff. I'm miffed. It *would* pick a time when I'm working under a deadline, wouldn't it...

Thanks very much.

I never did get back to this design. It just never would gel with the composition I had in mind!

Heh, the sharp outlines make it look rather like tattoo art.

I really like this. The wings really contrast with the soft tail and it does good visual things.

Thanks muchly. I needed it bold and balanced for what I plan to do with it on the computer. Now I just hope I can make it work in reality the way it looks in my head!

Ooh, love the designs! Looks kinda tribal, in a way.

Hope your tablet gets up and running again soon.

As long as it's credited and linked back to the original, no, I don't have a problem with that.

I'll answer your note as soon as I've a chance to sit down and catch my breath - crazy weekend hereabouts!

Lol, thank you very much, I will definitely credit you since I will be using it like a stock image. And take your time on getting to the note, I am just trying to get a rounded idea of pricing from young selling artists like myself.

The no-color thing is very much an exercise in balancing opposites...

It's difficult when it's just black and white, like when you use pen. That part kills me.
That, and eyes. Even though I draw sort of anime style, I'm trying to practice the refraction of light on the eyes and stuff.

Thankies!

Yeah, hardware can also be infernally finicky... I think it was static shock that killed it.
