Description The dragon of earth... I wanted to call it the dragon of the ground, but earth sounds alot better.

I'm so happy with how this guy came out. Drawing rocks isn't that hard... but it was a large amount of them.. so it took me alot of time. He's not like normal dragons, he has no wings. Why should he have them... he's far to heavy to fly... and he the earth dragon. What is the use of being in the air, if he can run? Instead of wings he has large and sharp spikes on his back.

This is the strongest dragon of all. He can great alot of power with his weight and speed. You can find him in dry and rocky places.

All Photoshop CS2 work.. original sketch was made with pencils.

Amazing work!Β I like how you actually give personality to your creations, opposed to just saying "Dragon- 2 hours." Β

the cool atribute about your dragon, that alot of people dont think about, is that most heavy weighted dragons have hooves, not claws...nice pic btw

good job anyway

Yeah. it would fit better , thats true, but blue eyes stick out more.

Right, now I think about it, golden eyes shold be way larger to look nice on an already ground-colour base
wel done again

Woow Woow Woow and another Woow!!!

Your drawingskills are amazing! Your drawing is just so real. ItΒ΄s just difficult stop looking at it. I like your feeling for detail. That dragon looks very real, so strong, so big, so everyting. I love the way this dragon matches with the background. And that makes it even more real. Keep on the (very very very) good work! D D D D

This is definitely one of ur best pics! I really love how he comes out and how he is desined!
Only the small white spots on the edges of the dragons are a bit disturbing.
