Description Attention - HUGE file

So, I've finally got to writing down/drawing everything about my creatures' world (which had been existing in my head for many years but has finally got a name only yesterday *___* ) - Raekterrna. So many "r" due to its particularity - zones with red woods and plains ("r" associates with red)
Considering Raekterrnian dragons - "evolution" in brackets because... BECAUSE i'M A BLASTED FOOL - artworks with them between 99 and 2003 (year I appeared in the Internet) are dead! >:< Due to our double moving and a following terrible art crysis. So I have only the very "origins" left.

So, before 1996:
1991-1995 (approx) - Dinos were the main "drawing object", I still have loads of books about them and adore everything, connected with them
1996-99 - I switch my attention to canines, at the same time being strongly influenced by dinosaurs and dragons - after seeing movies "Dragon heart", "Neverending story" (Falcore <3), "Pagemaster", "Flight of the dragon" and "Sleeping beauty" ( Maleficent dragon kicks ass! ) AND that's when I started combining creatures - and got what you see, these "winged wolves" )) I didn't realize them as dragons at that time though, but in fact - they are my dragons' "ancestors"
1999-2001 - kept on experimentating with them - adding more reptilian features, altering basic anatomy. They even used to be bipedal. But principal change which've left - "transformation" of canine tip of the nose into a reptilian nostrils.
2001-2002 - one more serious art block -__- almost no changes - only lil' changing in the nose's appearance.

aand in the end of 2002 - beginning of 2003 I get access to the Internet and appear here, on DA )) occasionally get acquainted with whom I now call sensei - he showed me great artists here and just across the internet, who's works I've been taking as examples of drawing technique the rest you know


Now I want to mention question, that was popping up earlier and was asked recently by one of my Russian friends - similarity of and my dragons.
DRAEKARDS (C) !!!!! )))))))) I've never told opposite and won't say now,
BEAST-DRAGONS (C) me
They are absolutely different creatures - in their behaviour and way of life, in their sizes and nature as it is (i'm talking about soul) and in their origins. Draekards are draekards, b.dragons are b.dragons They appeared not depending on each other and the same way they'll develop

You can find out everything about Adelle's draekards on [link] - shame on me, I've found this site only two months agooo >___< ones, who haven't yet - go and see, it's kick ass! ))

Oh the power of time.
I personally like the piece used for 2003 the best. However the more recent ones are more human (as in the apperance of a unique personality)
They're all really cool.

I don't comment much but I do feel like I need to now that I've seen this.

Since I stumbled across your page here, I have been awed by your talent and have looked to you as a role model for improvement, although I remain mostly silent.

Just thought now was as good a time as any to let you know

But even your 2003 work is beautifully coloured and drawn! I love it so much! I just wish I could submit my artworks (dam scanner) coz I'm improving each day, so I'm getting better, but I can't show anyone. D: Anyhow, You are such a great artist, and I HAVE to learn how to colour as good as you!

Not to be rude. But I've seen a lot of dragon-art that looks like this, I've even drawn stuff like animal-dragons, ect.. before. o_o

This makes me even paranoid to draw anything.

Nice work either way.

rage1986 In reply to Morbid-Joke [2006-09-23 21:20:44 +0000 UTC]

Yet you have your own style and understanding of these creatures )

Here I'm talking about these concrete dragons from a concrete world, drawn in their own style. As they say - what's mine is mine, what's yours is yours )

Oooh. I gotcha. Yeah, I understand what you mean. My brain is a little foggy with home-drama/irritation and illness. So, if I said anything rude, just, ignore me. I tend to nip at people when I'm pissy. I do like these creature though, they are unique.
