Drawling your dragon!

[Crystal Smith]

Yes, indeed I am~ I've already drawn mine, so why not the others? ^-^

For now, I think I'll just do a full body sketch, then later do head shots for everyone.

I'll need really good descriptions, though, or else I'll draw as I think fits or whatever is closest to what I think the desc. means. At the moment, descriptions in the profiles don't seem to be enough for me to go on, sadly. To me, it seems like the water and air dragons are generally long dragon-like, and I can't quite tell for the fire one.. I understand the general shape of the luck dragon, but there's no real in-depth detail on his features.

What would be good is first general body type; long dragon / western dragon
Then the head; General shape - round, triangular? Any horns? Showing teeth? Whiskers? Eyes- are they narrow or wide? (examp; Gonn's eyes are more wide then narrow) Other features such as scars or tusks?
From there, go along the neck. Does it thicken or stay relatively the same as it reaches the chest? (normally, western dragons thicken, long dragons stay the same) Include the spine style - pointed spines or fur? Webbing? Starts and ends where?
Belly scales - If there are any belly scales, do they start at the neck or chest? Are they some kind of odd shape? (Gonn has points on the scales on his chest, for example) Bumpy or streamlined? (That is, do the scales kind round off, like they do on Gonn, or do they stay tight packed?)
All Legs - General shape; thick, average, or slender? long, average, or short? (Gonn would have thick average legs) Also give any odd features, like spikes on the elbows and whatnot. Paw shape - how many digits/toes/fingers? Long digits or short ones? (finger-like or paw-like) If there are differences between the back and front legs, do tell. More then 4 legs? describe them all.
Mid section - Long, average, short? (considered to be the area between the front and back legs)
Wings - Describe those really well, if there are any. Feathered, bat-like, or some other shape? Are they small, average, or large? Any odd features? (like how Gonn has hands on the second wing joint, and spikes on the backs of them)
Finally the tail, how long is it? Longer then the body, shorter? Do the belly scales end at the base of the tail, or continue on? Odd features? (such as spikes along the sides, projections that might act like a rudder at the tip, ect)

Oh, and picture refs are always good X3

I could always work off the given descriptions, if desired. But since they're one's own characters, it only seems fair that they're drawn the way depicted ^-^ ('cause I hate how movies mess up stuff like that :P)

Post with renewed description or whatever, and I shall draw :D
Oh, and Mr. Lucky dragon should be posted too, 'cause he deserves to be drawn as well.

I'll be posting drawings as I finish them, and alterations can be made n' stuff.

General body type: Long dragon, 30ft.

Then the head: Triangular, wedge shaped head, long whiskers. He has small rounded cat ears (Not 'Teddy bear' ears, they are triangular in shape >o>), Longish snout. Has Antlers, not as long as head, in fact slightly shorter, sturdy.
EDIT: This mark on his forehead.

Eyes: Narrow and slim.

Other features: He has two small antlers

Neck: Stays relatively the same as the body, very serpentine. (Approx 5ft in length, not including head)

Include the spine style - No spines/webs/fins/ridges/bumps

Belly scales - Honestly Kinon has more of a light downy fur covering all over his body. His belly has the wide rounded rectangle scales that taper off at the tail and at the top of his neck.

All Legs - Short! He's a stubby legged dragon. As an example his legs keep him low to the ground like this cat

Paw shape - On his front legs he has hands with five digits. On his back legs he has paws, four toed with a dew claw. He has four legs total.

Mid section - He's about 4 1/2 feet tall. Between back and front I'd say about 1/4 of his body length (roughly... approximately heh...)

Wings - Is a picture good enough description? =D. Located near shoulder blades.

The tail: Almost half the length of the body (Aprox. 12ft). Has feathers out at the end, much like a flat paddle, a rudder made of feathers. He can collapse the feathers to make himself more streamlined.


Do you know how long I spent with a tape-measure and a friend measuring 30ft and my house? Hehe... I work better on visuals... heh....

Self&Friend: *headdesk*

I'll get you Mr. Lucky dragon soon ;-; I don't want to think about how long he is right now. HAH... yeah xD

Edit: If anything isn't described very well or you have questions lemme know~

Okay, so I edited this a couple times, but this is the final version, I swear! I changed the spines down his neck and back to a webbed ridge. If there's anything here I didn't describe well, let me know.

This is a crappily drawn reference photo of his general proportions (pardon the quality, it was originally very small.) I am not an artist, I didn't even try at the legs, but um, maybe this will be helpful? His head is a little wide, and his body a little funny looking, but blah blah blah, it gives you the general idea. i126.photobucket.com/albums/p82/purplegirl47/063058.jpg

General body type: A bit of a mix between long and western, He's much longer than your average western dragon but he has more shape to him than an eastern dragon. He's long, about the length of a school bus from nose to the tip of his tail.

Head: His head is almost an oval, but a bit wedge-shaped, growing smaller at the nose. His eyes are dark and wide, set on the sides of his head. The tips of his fangs just poke out from beneath his lip.

His neck is long and slim, thickening a bit as it nears his chest. Here's a reference that's good for both his neck and the general shape of his head: edubuzz.org/blogs/kingsmeadow/files/2010/02/loch-ness-monster.jpg. Down the back of his neck he has webbed ridge, short, only three or four inches in height, silvery-blue in color, ending at his shoulder blades.



Belly scales - His belly scales aren't different from those on the rest of his body. A dark sapphire blue, round and scaly.

All Legs - His legs are of average length and thickness.

Paw Shape- He has four long, webbed digits on each paw, his talons are silver. On the underside of his front left paw he has the mark, his is silver.

Mid section - His mid section is long in length and athletic in build, thicker near his front legs but growing more slender towards his rear legs, (this is kind of shown in my crappily drawn reference photo, up top.)

Wings - No wings here, Knucker prefers swimming.

Tail: His tail is the same length as his body, thinning, until at the end of the tail he has two fins on either side of his tail, forming a leaf shape. (I know this makes no sense, but it's pretty much like a leaf, with the tail forming the spine up the middle, and the two halves of the fin on either side, rounded at the base of the fin narrowing to a tip at the end of his tail.)

(I was on a school bus this morning on the way home from my little brother's field trip, the kids thought I was a freak, walking the length of the bus, trying to imagine how big Xenil would be.)

Kinon is done~

I think I got him rather on point ^-^ The only parts I think I might be iffy on are the head and the rudder feathers - I think I made his head too long/big and that the rudder feathers are completely off XD;

Let me know if he should be changed any~ Even on the slightest thing, like if the antlers are too short or something. Want to get as precise as possible.

Fer Srs Reaction:

*squees like little girl and clicks picture link*
*stops and stares*
*mouth drops open*
*stares some more*

Oh Fluffy! My GOSH! Just.... WOW.

Perfect~ <3
Amazing. You're drawings just never cease to astound me *snuggle huggle*
Kinon is perfect, absolutely so. *hugs again*

[Crystal Smith]

<3
Hee, success~ Relief and joy - that I got him right, and that you like him ^-^
I'll so mail him to you, bbbuutt someone needs to mail me back first |3 -coughpoke-

I shall start on Knucker now, and after him umm o.o Well, either Mr. Lucky Dragon, or Aniyah, whichever description I get first XD

[Brianna Hollion]

My god Kinon is looking sexy! That's FANTASTIC! You're a fabulous artist

[Jeremy Silcith]

General body type: Think Velociraptor Except his body is a bit longer, not quite as short and squat...

Then the head: Boxy, rectangular head; perhaps a bit more elongated than your normal Western (Think Velociraptor)

Eyes: I honestly don't know. I see him as having wide eyes that make him look innocent yet wise. Eyes that can go from understanding and kind to hatred in the (literally) blink of an eye.
Can I leave this up to you? Artistic freedom and whatnot? >o> ilu

Other features: A crest such as the one on this dino However the crest should be a bit smaller in proportion to Gili-luffs head. It should have the symbol as the rest of the characters do Like so

Neck: Err... *points at Velociraptor above*

Include the spine style - Easy to move and bend, he's made for maneuverability both on land and in the sky. He's not based for speed. He's got a smooth back. No ridges, spines or fins.

Belly scales - A bit bumpier than his normal scales. (I'm terrible at this...)

All Legs - Thick sturdy back legs and front legs. He can walk on all fours or two legs, depending on what he wants. Front legs should be a bit shorter and thinner. Example This Iguanodon normally walks on 4 legs but can rear up on two. Gili can do the same AND he can walk on two legs...

Um I don't even know if that's physically anatomically possible but... If it's not or if it is too hard to draw then Fluffy, you an me will work it out =) DUDE I Think it IS anatomically possible!! *totally left this open and did research* Um Iguanodon <3 FTW

Paw shape - Three toes on back feet with strong, sturdy 'heel spikes'. Four toes on front legs/hands Much like a bird

Mid section - Velociraptor? Err.. again a bit longer than a velociraptor, he's not all short and squat on two legs.

Wings - Thick wing structure, leathery part of wing starting at shoulder where wing starts and connecting to just before the thigh, covers a lot of area. Think um... Bat... He's built more for maneuverability than speed.

The tail - Long thin, whip like tail, pointed at the end, strong and deadly.



Ok seriously, I never REALLY had a clear image of him until Brianna said "Velociraptor" I looked at him and it fit. I changed it so that he walked on two legs and it fit for me. It fit my idea of him.

What you have to know is that I don't see him being as... ehh blocky? As a velociraptor, softer curves maybe, leaner body? Um Like I said before he's made for good maneuverability not for speed. He's, generally, not quick moving, though if he pushes himself to the limit he can move pretty fast.

I'm so sorry. I'm terrible at this. Gili-luff never has had a CLEAR picture in my head and I know he's not JUST a velociraptor on steroids with wings, you know? He IS different but I just can't explain /how/...
