Description Sketch out of The Dragon Chronicles. Tidied it up a bit, (added frame, erased smudges surrounding the dragon)...
(The first one has been moved to scraps.)
Graphite pencil on paper - many details are comprised of painstaking stippling!

Thank you so much
I'm pretty happy with the scales, the wings took so many rubbing-outs before they were right! ^^

MagicInButterflies [2009-04-03 02:56:45 +0000 UTC]

nicely done
but i believe this is a Wyvern
Dragons have 4 legs, Wyvern's front would-be arms are their wings

Xaydes In reply to MagicInButterflies [2009-04-16 01:09:12 +0000 UTC]

Thanks
Technically true, although wyverns are still regarded as a type of dragon..
This particular one I believe had no name in the book, and so for lack of a better name, I just stuck with the simple and basic

astraldreamer [2006-06-03 07:44:16 +0000 UTC]

Are you going to do more work on the back wing and the tail? It seems a shame to do so much detail on the front of the body and the other wing and leave it unfinished.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Xaydes In reply to astraldreamer [2006-06-07 06:55:24 +0000 UTC]

Good question...
I kind of like the "sketchiness" of the unfinished tail etc, and the reason I never finished it was because I'd rubbed out and retried the outlines so many times, I was getting too annoyed to fiddle with it anymore!
But I'll probably get inspired to finish it one day, and I'll resubmit it..!

astraldreamer In reply to Xaydes [2006-06-08 08:02:20 +0000 UTC]

You get sick of looking at the one thing don't you? I know there are lots of things I haven't finished becasue I got sick of the piece.

Xaydes In reply to astraldreamer [2006-06-11 10:03:28 +0000 UTC]

I got sick of the tail, thats for sure
Just was scared if I did anything else to it, I'd stuff it up...
Lol, yeah, there's a few things that I've just 'never got around' to finishing too

astraldreamer In reply to Xaydes [2006-06-11 10:13:22 +0000 UTC]

I've done that too, when do you know when to stop. There should be someone at your shoulder who says "If you touch that again it will be too much and you will wreck it!" LOL
