My first little run at this. Thanks ANNA for passing along the site info. :) This is somewhat similar to a print I'd found at a yardsale. No idea who the artist was though. It's a very rough draft that was starting to frustrate me so I thought it good to take a break from it. Having trouble getting an eye on him that I'm happy with or a color for his skin. (leaning towards Red)

Interesting first picture.. welcome to 2draw

emmamommalag (Jan 22, 2005)

Yes, cool picture. It looks like one of those maps for UO or some such game. Welcome, Dorain.

I like the look of this so far. very neat. Red is a good choice, even a red orange. :}

Rust.. a rusty red hue would be great

emmamommalag (Jan 22, 2005)

Yes, rusty red sounds good.

Finally! Now that 2Draw is back up, I can see your drawing! :-) This is a great one already! Glad you're here! /bighugs!!

Thanks a million for your kind comments. You folks have some very impressive galleries to browse through.

Just tweaking, cleaning, color, re-color, change color, revert color.... Absolutely mortified @ the prospect of shading, light direction or whatever. He need's some pretty ripped muscle definition, otherwise he'd just be a lizard. :oP

yay!! The dragon is getting color!! :-D woohoo! Lookin' good, Dorain!

Gotta stop fooling around w/this pic and move on to something else.

Version 3 was the best. The colors you chose for version 3 were perfect.
And the little red lizard looks cool.

Anna (Feb 10, 2005)

This version is the best. :-D Your shading came out very well! Sooo smooth! I like it. Great job! :-)
