Description Krovendrakk species reference :

Okay, this is a picture of my "fursona" (well, the term "alter-ego" suits him better) Vroenfael, a young male Krovendrakk of the Koren clan. You'll find out more about his personality and background later There's quite a lot of foreshortening going on here, which alters his proportions slightly : his legs really are quite a lot longer and narrower than they look here, as is his body. His face isn't just as distorted though Vroen is of the Koren clan (clan refs will be made as soon as I find the time) hence he's taller than average and of lighter build, as well as due to his heritage. Note that Vroen's spine is visible (though not individual vertebrae due to the great reduction of spinal processes in this species) whereas this is not the case in most other Krovendraekk.

Oh btw, I'll be submitting a "detail" shot of Vroenfael in the next 5 mins if anyone is interested

. Yep. I did kinda mess the background up a bit. I reffed the sky from a pic off google images, and as for the mountains, snow and river, I didn't use a ref. I REALLY should have looking at that snow effect. -shot-
The mountains though were just scribbled and I didn't really see the point in going over them.

This is actually my first fully coloured digital piece, and my first ever digital background. Lol, I know I submitted the ref first, but I did that deliberately so I'd be able to show people his species, and because I forgot some of Vroen's armour and had to go back and add it. So...erm yes. Vroen taking a leisurely run in the snow while the sun rises. Yeah, he likes snow

Done aged 16 in GIMP using 1 layer and a 12 x 9 wacom intuos 3 tablet. (from ebay ) Enjoy!

Krovendraekk, Vroenfael and art copyright to No stealing please (not that you'd want to)

Eeeeeeh! *screams with happiness*
I can't tell you how much I appreciate that comment, as I'm so glad you like my species and find them original.
As for being friendly, the majority of them are either neutral or friendly, but I must admit that some are completely the opposite, such as: [link] (Valke). I'd recommend staying as far away from him as possible.
I'm really glad you think so, and as far as the species reference is concerned, I'm in the process of doing a new version of it with better art and more information about the species, if you're interested.

My hat off to you - Designing the species look... Hmmm... menacingly strange like that and yet making them good in core is a thing one would need to get used to, which is not something that would be often done. I think I will check back on you for the new version, that is unless this thing wonΒ΄t break into the world and pictures of which wonΒ΄t find me first.

Aww, thankyou very much. I'm really pleased you think so, and yeah, they all have different personalities, but the majority are fairly harmless, despite being more than capable of being dangerous. And I'll try to make sure he doesn't get out XD!

Aww, never mind Chaz ^^ To-do lists can be horrible I really don't mind - check them out and comment in your own time

Thankyou so so much, I'm really glad you like it - this is actually my first ever digital piece XD!
And I would draw for a subby if you want - I might be limited in the complexity of the piece though due to exams and a massive mountain of uncompleted art that's been building up with me lately

And aww thankyou - it means a lot!
And I'd really love to draw him - how about I do a subby commission of Yang after my exams are finished? That way you could've bought your tablet and I'd have free time ^^
Lol, I've even thought of song lyrics to go with the piece

The background is incredible, as is the Krovendrakk! I can't believe you did this in GIMP, I've been having issues with getting that program to look like I wanted it to, but your drawing looks like you used a much better program. I just love your style and your colors and everything about this picture. I really think you portrayed his massive size well too

Aww thankyou
And that would indeed be fine - so long as you use on of the Krovendrakk character's I've already made instead of making your own As for scale, Kiridian, the one on the reference, is 31ft tall, but my fursona Vroenfael, the white and blue one is 38ft tall, and is much thinner than a normal Krovendrakk Just curious, what is your species and what does it look like? I'm sure they're awesome

Zozanne In reply to zephyrwolfen [2010-03-16 19:01:08 +0000 UTC]

I'm making a new one (doesn't have a name)
and I have one called royal serpents, they remind me of the Krovendrakk, they are very very very thin too!! I'll scan them soon ^^

This really turned our well for your first full-fledged digital piece. I love the colors and how well you did the fur.

To critique it so you can be even better next time (which I'm sure you will be), take into consideration atmospheric perspective. I remember the sky from that wip. In comparison the rest of the picture, though, it takes away from the beauty and the lovely detail of Vroen.

zephyrwolfen In reply to InstantCoyote [2010-03-14 13:20:04 +0000 UTC]

Thankyou so much Arachnid! I'm glad you like the fur

I think I get what you mean, but could you explain it a bit more? (sorry, you're dealing with an idiot here )

You're very welcome. You do a fantastic job with the character.

lol. Do you mean with the atmospheric perspective? Well, here's the wikipedia definition for it. [link] I think that will explain it better than how I can explain it. ^^

zephyrwolfen In reply to InstantCoyote [2010-03-15 17:01:23 +0000 UTC]

Aww thankyou

I read it, but I didn't understand how it would alter my picture in context - could you help explain it in an artistic context? (i.e. what should look different in my picture)

InstantCoyote In reply to zephyrwolfen [2010-03-15 18:09:17 +0000 UTC]

Oh. Okay. Well, the mountains, I think should seem a bit lighter because they're farther back.

Aww thankyou! I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to fix though - just a little dodge and some overlay of background colour Haha - I bought it off ebay for Β£150 - that's really cheap for a 12 x 9 intuos 3 XD!
