Fire Dragonby =Shinerai

Digital Art / Drawings / Fantasy

So, I've been working on this for over a month. I've been doing it bit by bit between commissions, between homework assignments, and at work. It was a nice breather, and it's been a long time since I've created a character so thoroughly, it was very refreshing.

This is for *forrgotenrose's design contest, where you are to create a fire based dragon character for her story.

Since I don't know the name or gender of the dragon, it was hard for me to write the text D: Also, I won't be mad if you don't read it. It's just space-filler garble to look nice. But If you are actually interested about minor details of the dragon, nice infoes can be found within the garblz.

I wasn't going to make a refsheet at first! But. . . anyone who knows me well, knows I can't design a character WITHOUT a making a refsheet for them. I was going to keep it super simple, but then all this other stuff kept popping on there and. . . .

Also, I just couldn't resist jumping into something that was an obvious opportunity to draw an orange character.

Anyway. Best of luck to all of the participants cx.
Please full view if you want to actually be able to read it.

love this dragon

by the way, what do you use for these drawings?,
it would be interesting to know as I love the style.

Thank you for your compliments! I use Photoshop CS3

~Asrath Mar 9, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Amazing design! I LOVE your super detailed ref sheets! Those have been an amazing inspiration to me, especially when I was still pretty young.
I think you have the best and most interesting ref sheets on DA. With all the cool info and intricate drawings! <3 They are an example for me if I would ever make a ref sheet (which I'm planning for my OC, but knowing myself... it'll take a while XD)

Thank you! I've always loved reference sheets too c; I'm glad you appreciate them. Reference sheets take a while for anyone, really ;;

~Asrath Mar 10, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Yeah, they're awesome. Especially when done well, like yours. I love all the additional info

That as well, but I meant more in the sense of that I often forget about things, etc. and that I had the ref sheet I was talking about on my 'list' for months (and frankly... it still is...). I just need to set apart more time to draw ):

Have you ever made a tutorial for dragons?

=Shinerai Mar 8, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I have not!

~DragonSong928 Mar 8, 2013 Student Traditional Artist

Can you make one, please?

=Shinerai Mar 8, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I apologize, but I simply don't have time to put something like that together at this moment. There are many good tutorials out there already that you can reference

~DragonSong928 Mar 9, 2013 Student Traditional Artist

Okay, thanks for the reply though. All I really needed was the feet, mine are... weird. Thanks for thinking about it.
