Magitek's Art dump

[MagitekElite]

Here is a quick sketch I did the other day...forgot to upload, so this area made me remember. xD

Anyways, I haven't picked up a pencil in 3-4 years (lost time to freely draw) and I really want to pick it up again. The last piece of work I did was a fanart, this is completely original :>

Inspirations: Dragons, fantasy, Anne McCaffery

Dragon Sketch

I had to watermark it because the last time I didn't some wise guy stole my art and (directly, nothing added to it) and was selling it on his website...

First sketch; rough. Done in CS5 on a Genius Tablet.

So, any suggestions? I'd really like to hear em, and hopefully I can get to talon/feet work (suck at it!).

First off, it is an excellent drawing and I can already picture it colored in aqua/snow tones.
The only problem I see is the nose. The left side is convex while the right side is concave.

I love it!

BUT. If you meant for it to be mean you need to change some stuff because as is, it looks cute and cuddly.
A bit like in "How To Train Your Dragon" (I love that film! I have a cat just like that black dragon).

"How To Train Your Dragon"

Gintama wipe ^_^



Personally, I liked the sketch, and I think that shouldn't need add some kawaii. It's a real mythological dragon, how it should be seen.

@Kristovski:
Hmm, you mean the actual nose or this?


@MetalRenard:
I love that movie too! I own them, but I haven't watched the mini movie yet :(

I was just going for dragon, though scary and fierce is my fav. What do you suggest?

@Agckuu Coceg:
A dog dragon? xD

I went for the look the Western Dragon takes, and added some detail from the Austratlian dragon. I have a whole book shelf of dragon books (dragonology) and a few others, and I thought "something of the mix!" so I just started the sketch xD

If you guys have any more suggestions, I'll be glad to hear. Some others thought teeth? But I didn't think there was room for that....

[MagitekElite]

I can add detail (I'd have to mess around with my tablet's point to make thinner brushes...) but sure, I can :>
But I'd need to know if the base needs anything adjusting first before I add detail so its not wasted :)

A dog dragon? xD

Sadaharu is angry, cause he's not a dog. He is Inugami. ^_^

I personally would have liked the style of the classic style of a dragon, like in D&D.

[MagitekElite]

I've never made a dragon like that before :o That looks pretty wicked though. What's weird though, is that that dragon has water features on its head... :>

[MetalRenard]

I prefer your dragon, seriously, dragons are allowed to be cute.

[MagitekElite]

In all honesty...I don't know if I consider what I drew cute or not

I'm working on another sketch of it, separate though so I don't erase this one. Seeing if I can create more "scary" looking dragons. :P
