Description So... I got kinda stripe happy.... However, after a moment of "where the hell did something like *this* come from???" I then became quite certain in my head that I unconsciously pulled major ideas/shape/whatever from someone else. So... aside from the horn shape and scales that I purposely yoinked from leccy.... does this look like someone else's deviation? If you think so, and can find it... link so I can give credit where due, even if the yoinking was unconsciously done.

Anyways, drawn mostly over a 1hr 20 min period... ie... in class when I should have been taking notes. >_>

Hmmm, a bit reminiscent of ~Qwiven as well, but I think it's all your own so far as I know.

That looks like one very curious dragon. The striped markings are realy interesting. Great job.

Thankyou. I think I'm going to be drawing more stripey things soon, and incorporate this new stripe-type into my little babies as well.

Amata-Damita [2007-03-24 11:57:26 +0000 UTC]

That looks really cool! The stripes make me think of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, the movie. Maybe you got your inspiration from there?

Great job anyways!

shiari In reply to Amata-Damita [2007-03-25 00:52:46 +0000 UTC]

Probably either there.... or the walking with dinosaurs series.

tiamatthefreak [2007-03-24 08:15:47 +0000 UTC]

Uh, when I saw it I instantly thought of this: [link]
Just because of the horns, I think. Also 'cause of the comment Tina left. It's very dino-like, though.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

shiari In reply to tiamatthefreak [2007-03-25 00:45:09 +0000 UTC]

That horn shape is really quite common though, as it is a horn shape seen even in nature on earth.

Kalanco [2007-03-24 03:07:57 +0000 UTC]

It does look inspiried a bit from Leccy, but not copyright infringing. Heck, I have a few scales similar to the central head-plates.

nifties. ^_^ Yeah... I love the way Leccy draws her horns and scales. ._.

Kalanco In reply to shiari [2007-03-24 14:39:52 +0000 UTC]

I always found her horns extremely odd.

shiari In reply to Kalanco [2007-03-25 00:52:18 +0000 UTC]

As my species' horn set up is truly odd, I guess I don't see anything unusual about hers. XD

I just can't wrap my mind around how they would look.

burningblackenedsoul [2007-03-24 00:41:21 +0000 UTC]

I do have this one [link] but I doubt that you got your inspiration from that. If anything, you probably got it from looking at pictures of dinosaurs. It looks similair to the velociraptors from Jurassic Park.

shiari In reply to burningblackenedsoul [2007-03-24 02:35:49 +0000 UTC]

that's probably why it looks familiar. Must have seen a dino pic with similar marks sometime. ^_^

BlakDragon284 In reply to shiari [2009-04-20 23:42:02 +0000 UTC]

I also think it looks like a dino. I thought it was based off one before I read your description. =]

I don't know of any deviations where you might have pulled this from but there are a number of stripey dragon pics around. *shrug* Personaily I love how you drew it , add fur and streighten the horns and you'd have a very good rendition of one of my fursonas

of course I know where tehy are...I'm just saying they haven't risen up to show themselves to all the non believers, who I might add suck. Like everyday ppl make fun of me 'cuz of what I like...including dragons. If you ask me it's stupid to laugh at what other ppl like, they are just digging their own grave by making fun of other ppls likes and dislikes, it really quite stupid. I laugh at their stuidity...HA HA HA!

cheetahtrout In reply to RheaTorieSoto [2007-03-24 01:13:51 +0000 UTC]

I agree too. And I know what you mean. My second interrest is Discworld by Pratchett. People laugh because they think it is fantasy, so it is a childrensbook... If hey only could read -__-;

But yes, dragons RULE! But I wouldnΒ΄t be more than a jester.

HA HA AH! so do i!! i agreee completely. if you dislike something you can't say it sucks or that something doesn't exsist. you should say that is what you THINK... because one person can't say the feelings of a billion. such a large pet peeve of mine.

and might they be disguised as humans?
