Description Everything about this is meant to be buggy. But i gave up on looking bugs in the latin word list, so i settled for...eh..terrfying, something like that.

Worked yesterday and all day today on this bad boy.

For , as part of our art-trade...from... x-mas. It's long overdue. I've designed 3 other dragons for her, so this is just the forth. She uses them for her manga---which i only realized in the middle of doing this picutre, i have no idea what manga they're for. But she gives me free range, which is kickass, so yeah. Check out her amazing work, and the amazing work she does for other artists. When i finally ask what manga they're for, i'll post links to it here.


I hope it's okay, I took a long time thinking this one through--this hexadragon of overbite-ness. I also colored it because.. i wanted to put more oomph into it. and the colors are just my own interpretation, you can make the thing a rainbow of terror, if you'd like.

Such an interesting design. I love the pack mule sketch, he looks so pleased with himself

just to let you know~~
After trying to draw this creature in different poses and angles last night, I decided:

For easier handling.... I have to change him to 4 legs instead of 6 legs. You maybe used to drawing such a creature, but I am not. 6 legs gets hard to pose in all position and harder to find reference for.

That's the major change, that's how my design will be based on yours.

I will still include your original design in the book reference sheets to give you the credit for it. I can use your current pic (its big enough for printing) but if you want to give me a higher res for later publishing you can e-mail it to me.

I can provide you with that. And no worries about the 4 legged thing. Youll notice the ref doesn't have many front or back views of the legs, because i had a hard time with that too. World wasn't meant to have 6 legged things on a large scale.

i DID notice the lack of front and back..... =.=b those are hard to handle... and to think if you are doing a manga on a large scale, you need to draw it sitting down, rolling over, dead, wounded, walking.... *shivers* I already have some difficulties with placing the items on it and strapping it without hindering the flaps... that's almost impossible unless there's something that is glued to them.

I just had those things tied off to the horns inbetween the sections. The outer two are more splayed out.


ooorrr, just say that magic keeps it on.

just for your record, the dragon designs will be used in 2Masters.

This is a very interesting and creative design, just what I look for.

*thinks* I may be able to include this design in book 1-2... I will see...

Is this animal fur based or scale based? Warm blood?

Unibomber703 In reply to mayshing [2008-05-26 23:55:56 +0000 UTC]

It's scale based, and cold blood. Uses the flaps to warm up in the morning.

cool. Good to know.
This fits completely to the environment of a tribe i have in 2Masters.
I was trying to think up ideas for the local dragons that can replace the buffalo and oxen. Giant Eagles replaced the horse.
I don't think I will use your design as cow design (meaning food source animal).... so I will make my own creature for that. lol~

You misspelled cartilage. His glide ratio would also be quite poor due to a lack of efficient wingspan.

However, I do like the overall look. Very much like you'd see as a link in an evolutionary chain.

Unibomber703 In reply to PaulStrealer [2008-05-25 15:23:57 +0000 UTC]

Eh, i never meant it to be a far-distance glider, just a manuverable one.
