Post your Dragon art here!

Nambroth, I dont know if you hang around anymore, but I wanted to say your gallery was so familliar... I think, if I remember right, a person I was working with in the morrowind mod community on a gryphon race showed me your gallery and said he was thinking of getting you to do the feather texture. Though in the end I chose to remain anonymous over fear of the project clogging my email.

But enough of that. ;)

I think I can pull out my art book in my little bit of free time and try to add something new to the great thread.

I still visit here, though I mostly lurk! ;} I was mostly known for my gryphon artwork from the late 90's so it's entirely possible that someone was connecting me with gryphon stuff!

A couple simple sketches I did a couple years ago. Below is a winged Khutit that could probably use some more value. Oh well. :P

/applause :)

especially on the khutit's digitigrade legs.
I never manage to get such legs right and tend to end up hiding them behind clothes, a cool pose or whatever is handy and easy for me :P

Digitgrade legs are fun, and they usually even follow RL anatomical principles. For instance, the ball of the paw, where most of the weight is centered, is usually positioned directly below the knee (if the character were standing up straight), just as it is on plantigrade legs.

There's a few more dragon drawings on a mini gallery here.

A few really Horizons related ones are:

http://www.skaarj.com/gimpystick/ember/334 (Another hatchie!)
http://www.skaarj.com/gimpystick/ember/688 (A memory sketch of an HZ dragon head type.)
http://www.skaarj.com/gimpystick/ember/326 (A bad redesign of Vidken flying along with Solanaceae.)


Some of my submissions are pieces of Digipen homework, which are weird. Some were just fast doodles.

I like how you pose all the dragon's, it feels very alive.
My own stuff tends to turn out very wooden.

Not sure if this counts as art but:Tehanu's Flight
It's a papercraft dragon I am making. The sitting version is done, with a very lovely flying version to come.

AWWW CUTE LIL PAPER DWAGGIEEEE!

(I don't have the patience for such things sadly :P)

Wow that is so cool - yea I wish I was so craft inclined - I'd love to make one of those.

The best I've done is paint those "unpainted" statue things - like one a year maybe (rofl).

That seems way to complicated for me, but at the same time I'm like "man if I coudl do it that would be soooo coolio"

Course I find it beyond amusing that the picture there has a bottle of Advil behind it?? Is that a suggestion? ROFL

Dragon head model i have been working on recently:

now to skin it...

Nice work there Shur. :D

Well, as long as we are posting :)

Was feeling artistic last night :D

Vidken, I really love your "Babysitting" and "Learning to fly" drawings. those are great!

showing emotion with the dragons' facial expressions is somewhat unexpected, and it made me laugh. not in a demeaning way, mind you, butin a joyful way.

thanks for making me smile!

Horizons hatchies are just so friggin' cute!
