Woodsy Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) Cute little dragon! I agree with Toe-head, it needs some scales and some teeth. I think it's looking for the back of a sofa to lay on.

LionsDragon Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 I hope it's an asbestos sofa. As for the teeth...well, she's got a beak, so I'm not sure how well teeth would work out for her. Have to do some tinkering on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionsDragon Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 Second draft...I had the scaling almost done when @Maximilian linked that tutorial, but now that means I can do a better job in the third draft! I've spent most of the day trying to figure out her ecological niche so I can adjust accordingly. O.O 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximilian Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Dracarys! Those scales look evil, and the wings have developed a hellfire aspect as well I'm glad the tutorial I linked above has proved useful. Keep firing up the draconic spirit! ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewDavid Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 it usually takes me 5 drafts before I release my pics @LionsDragon. Keep plugging on. Its coming along nicely. The scales look nice. And yes it does look like a sphinx cat cross bred with a dragon. Does it breath fire too? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is much earlier than I usually release something publicly, but I got completely and utterly stuck. I figured the wonderful community here has plenty of objective eyes. Thank you! Still working on the tummy scales, but getting closer. Yes, although they aren't very big flames yet. Usually just enough to cook her food. Loves fire-roasted tomatoes and fresh groundhog, this one.

hippiechos Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I think it's coming along nicely. The part where the stone meets the right front leg distracts me a bit. The blurring doesn't provide a very good distinction between the stone and KittyDragon. Perhaps that area could be darkened and turned into a shadow, since it looks like the light is shining from the top right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Oh yes - definitely coming along nicely @LionsDragon . 1 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

I like the shadow idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixey Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Oh - Mckenna is so cute. I think she may perhaps want to look ferocious, but I would bring her home anytime .

Woodsy Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I think McKenna is really cute also! Way too much traction though. (I love the scales!) Quote My PDN Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionsDragon Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) @Pixey, I'll tell you a secret. She's about as un-ferocious as a dragon can get! Gets a bit crabby every third Thursday or so (not sure why), but other than that she's a little doll. @Maximilian, thank you! @Woodsy, traction? Well, she is kinda clumsy.... In case anyone wonders, McKenna means "fire-born." It seemed fitting. Edited May 13, 2017 by LionsDragon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsy Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 What I meant by traction is the long neck. Almost reminds me of some of the tortoises on the Galapagos Islands. 1 Quote My PDN Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionsDragon Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 @Woodsy ooooooh, I get it now! You're right, it does look tortoise-ish, doesn't it? I was aiming for the look of the grotesques in the borders of medieval manuscripts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximilian Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 McKenna is an evil name for a dragon. It sounds as red as heat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
