Description I would really like to make a story/comic of this one...or at least an illustration...like you read in a book .

Drew this while I watched Dungeons & Dragons for the 2nd times...... It inspired me. I've always wanted dragons as a friend! Dragons = !!!! If only... they were real (which I wished so).
The dragon's hands & claws suck. Sorry. I can't draw hands and this goes for non-human creatures too! .
Ran out of space for the wings. . Will color this when I have spare time...
The proportions is incorrect but what the hell. Art can be ugly and incorrect sometimes. Oh yeah, sorry for the weak shading - I'm just messing with it because I'll color it anyway...so like I said, I just didn't/don't care.

Medium: Pencils, erase and spare time. This one took me like an hour or something...Started two days ago and finished same time.

References:

It's the same dragon as this one: [link] (only this time you get to see a bigger detail).

Title of this drawing is inspired from this song: Robert Miles feat. Fiorella Quinn - Fable (no not the theme song for Fable X-Box 360 game! But it could be dedicated to it since it goes by the same name ).
Here's the link: [link] (the video is a fanmade = Kingdom Hearts video)

The girl is me. And the ref. is me.

~~~~*****~~~~~

Care for the lyrics? Here's one:

Tell me your fable
A fable...
Tell me your fable...
Tell me your fable
Tell me your fable...
A fable...
Tell me your fable...
Talk to me, tenderly
Show reality fantasy,
We'll bound together
All win in one feat
Talk to me, tenderly
Show reality fantasy,
We'll bound together
All win in one feat
Ooh...Ahh...
Ooh...Ahh...
The fable...
The fable...

Ahh...
The fable...
The fable...
Tell me your fable...
Tell me your fable
A fable
A fable
A fable that will never end
And now, I dream
Dream
Dream
Ooh...Ahh...
Ooh...Ahh...
Doo...Dooh...Ahh...
Doo...Dooh...Ahh...
Ooh...Ahh...


~~~~~~****~~~~~~~

The song reminds me of someone reliving in a fantasy world....

*Squeal*!!!!!! YESSSSSSS!! I LOVE DRAGONS!!! I wish they were real - so badly. Even I thought there was a dragon egg in a dense woods somewhere in the world (or at the area close to my old house)...
A dragon as a friend is amazing

Chico? You should draw that !! Of if you've drawn it already???

You know, I've thought about drawing him. But I can't draw very well... I guess I'll give it a shot. Anyways have you ever heard of Dragon Fable? Once you reach a certain level you can have your own dragon!!

It's up to draw by using references - you draw better when you use references. This way, you can see what's wrong and what to be fixed rather than draw from imagination. But honestly I drew this from a memory - I saw a dragon with a girl artwork before but because I couldn't find the source I had to rely on the memory and references that has the similarity of what I had in mind.

Just like the rest says; Just draw and use references (draw from ref. is very essential! I need to do it more often).
That's it.

You know, I hate it when great artists bash themselves, so be quiet. A million people would kill for your talent- i have people that want mine, but mine's no good so they actually want yours. >>

Head has nice perspective- horns are symmetrical and even, and face shape helps the bowing head. Claws and arms are really good too; I love the scale work and shading, especially on the neck. Head shading probably should have been a little more off, because it appears to blend with the neck slightly, but otherwise also looks great. :3

I really like the eyes and head...they're both really good! And you, sitting there; you look so cute. and slightly oblivious to the hovering beastie behind you, but I suspect you're just wrapped up in a good book. Yeah.

Sorry for a very late reply! To be honest I don't think there's anything special with my skills/talents. It's just hard work...I still have a lot to grasp! So many things to learn !!
Nah I will just color it on
Photoshop that way I might have to resize the format as well. Everybody's dream - having dragon as a bestfriend ever!

Nice. It reminds me of the Neverending Story in some ways. Also like how you've taken a huge, scary dragon and made him quite cuddly, lol.

Neverending Story is a good story . That's the inspiration struck me. A kid's dream of having an alternate reality... Now, I wonder how Falco(or is it Falcon?) enters the real world!?!?!? D8> I still never get it. I suppose everything can happen when it is a fantasy.

Thanks for the fave! Ooh you liked the hands/claws? It was a killer D8!! The right hand/claw of his was a disaster that I had to cover it up with his left hand .

The claws and hands are so pretty. I love the shape and how black you made the claws. XD

Well at least I've tried to make it look more shinnier.... I'm going to color it that's why I don't care about the shading

I've always wanted a dragon for a friend too and especially one like this.

I think you did a fine job on his talons/hands.

I would have recognized your little self-portrait anywhere, T! Very nice drawing!

It's just from my childhood I used to watch a crappy tv-show where a boy found a dragon egg in a cave and became friend with it...I can't remember the ending what heppened next - because I didn't watch it ever since...it was too boring. D8>
Thank you! It wasn't easy . I did a mistake on the right hand...... which has to be covered up. It's everyone's dream. Having a dragon as a friend and living in a fantasy world. What an epic adventure that would be!

Decarabia69 In reply to Thevakien [2009-02-12 00:39:39 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I was the same way - a crappy TV show would start my imagination and it would run away with me. Most of the kids I knew always thought dragons were too scary (and evil) which is why I always wanted one, THEY would be afraid to bother me.

I couldn't see your mistake at all, but I know how difficult hands/talons can be. I thought it was a very nice drawing!
