Woo! First piece of American Dragon anime-styled fanart from me. Possibly the first on DA?? *looks around puzzled @ other artists*
Disney have done it again. They've created a worthwhile show to watch (next to Kim Possible). If you've never seen American Dragon, go find an episode guide or something because I'm not bothering explaining it all to you.
The main plot of the cartoon is that Jake Long (the guy shown here) comes from a long line of Chinese dragons on his mother's side who protect the magical world (it skipped his mum's generation). His little sister Haley is a dragon, too, and his friends Trixie and Spud know about his "extra curricular activities".
Rose (the girl shown here) is his high school crush who just so happens to be Huntsgirl, who comes from a long line of dragon hunters known as the Hunts Clan, and is his enemy when he's Dragon!Jake. Rose never (to my knowledge at least) finds out that he's a dragon but Jake discovers she's Huntsgirl and is nursing a broken heart at the moment in the series.
It's very...Shakespearian in my own opinion. Tragic love and all that. Gotta love that stuff ;3 However, the moment Fu Dog starts spouting poetry and holding a skull, I'm leaving XD
A~NYWAY...back on topic.
This is possibly from my TMNT/American Dragon crossover "Heroes of New York City", as they're older here (Jake had a growth spurt; in the cartoon, Rose is taller than him XD). I tried to keep true to the cartoon while I drew it, but seeing as how I only had one pic of it (and I hate Jake's hair) I had to do it anime-style. And Jake has summoned his dragon wings, so they're possibly facing off with the Hunts Clan.
And...yeah.
Heh. Plastic Wrap is fast becoming my favourite playtoy on Photoshop Makes things go shiny =3


Nitpicks: Jake's hair. Though it's a far sight better than his cartoon hairstyle XD And I hate his dragon wings.

The way you drew Jake reminds me of Chase Young from Xiaolin Showdown and from a comment that my friend made and I quote 'He's so bishie!!'

- Though that's very possible.

I started watching the show late. After seeing a couple of episodes, I liked Fu dog more than Jake but after seeing thta show when Rose finally found out Jake was the AD, I went likem "Holy cow! I gotta see how this turns out!"



Cool poses and hair but I like Jake's old do too.

Girl, what are you talking about?!? Jake's hair is awesome.

I really like the style you used for this picture.

You know when American Dragon first came out I was determined not to like it but my sisters watch it sometimes and it really is growing on me. I've seen the episode where Rose finds out about Dragon!Jake's true identity about three times and love it, but I'll not spoil it for you.

This picture really is great. I'm going to fave it and before anyone jumps to any conclusions it's not just because it features a het couple (I like het and shonen-ai equally) but because the quality is really good. Jake's hair is what stands out to me the most because you've made the green highlights stand out more then they do on the cartoon, which I like. Plus the eyes on both of them seem dark yet beautiful. I like how Jake has his wings visable here too, an interesting effect. And do the rings mean that they're married or engaged or something to that effect.

You're the only one who noticed the rings *sweatdops* Yes, they do get married in the fic, if not only to protect Rose from the Hunts Clan.
I didn't like American Dragon at first but it's grown on me. This just so happens to be one of my favourite het couples as well X3 Next to Trixie/Spud of course.

Trixie/Spud was part of the reason I started to like the show. It's not often a girl as lippy as Trixie gets paired with a guy as slow as Spud (Even though they're not officially paired as far as I know but still).

Your style is much better than that style in American Dragon.

From what I saw in an advert for the show on Foxtel's Disney Channel, he does reveal his identity, after capturing him, and stuff, she runs off... I'll have to watch to find out what happens next

Heh, I have to rely on Saturday Disney for episodes. It was the gremlin episode yesterday. Can I rely on you for info??

o, yes. i like the series, but i only got to watch a few random episodes here and there. Rose's hand looks kinda weird but i think it's just the bottom two fingers. anyway, great job you made Jake look older and cooler! his wings are even out, although it might have been better if we could see the wings more.

StrawberryHedgehog In reply to Nakarie [2005-11-06 05:58:10 +0000 UTC]

Meh, I hate drawing full hands, which explains why Rose's are so wonky. They're so annoying. Heh, I prefer my version of Jake to his cartoon form And I ran out of space on the page for the wings so...yeah.

Thankyou. And I will. Chapter Two is in preparation for writing but I just haven't gotten around to checking out a new TMNT episode guide yet to find out whether or not Splinter died in the first season (was it second? I can't remember, it's been that long since my nephew last came down...)
