February Dragon Exchange - Closed

Xenoqueen · Post by **Xenoqueen** » Thu Feb 01, 2007 5:16 pm

First, the blacklist of people who cannot participate until they finish and turn in the image(s) they owe. If you are incorrectly listed here, please direct me to your image so I can record it and clear your name!

Heh, by now I'm sure plenty of you are thinking: "Pheee? That list is INSANELY long. Why don't you just clean-slate it?" To which I can only shrug and respond, "If people want back in on the Exchange so badly, they can finish one late image." If I myself finished an image after 6+ months, so can anybody. XD

And here's the sign-up form for the exchange. All fields in the About The Image section are optional, and speak of the image that you hope to receive. Copy-paste it into a new post and fill it out in this thread. :)

If you must link to anything (references, music, etc.) DO NOT USE THE "URL" TAG! PLEASE include the full url itself. When I copy-paste, linked words turn into pure text, and I don't always remember to grab the url out of the link.

Sign-ups will be open through February 7th.

When the round begins, make sure you get your image in on time! If you are late with the image you owe and did not fall prey to exonerating circumstances over the month (i.e. forgetting is not an excuse; family emergencies are) your re-joining of the exchange will be delayed until the month AFTER you finally turn in your image. So for example, if you were late for February and turn your image in any time in March, you will be allowed to join again in April.

During the round, if you need to secretly ask a question of the person you received, you can use the ExchangeTracker thread to do so. POST IN THAT THREAD! Do NOT use the ExchangeTracker account to post here.

After the round, when you've uploaded the dragon you received, don't forget to add it to the Dragon Exchange Database!

Aaaand here's the folkses that didn't get their art last month.

~ABOUT THE IMAGE~
Color(s): See ref images
Features: Blond hair, theme-applicable features
Species: Any
Element(s): None
Theme: Quest For Glory Fighter, Magic User, or Thief

Lately I've been having a lot of fun replaying an old game series called Quest For Glory, and for lack of any other inspiration or character need, I figured I might as well make an exchange request of it!

My request is that you pick one of the three given character types and make a creature to fit it. Quest For Glory is all about being a hero (well, with many exceptions made for the Thief) so the creature should be designed to excel at its chosen profession!

For color-scheme ideas, I'm including screenshots from the first four of the five games. (The fifth game doesn't have an overall "uniform" look for the characters.) Admittedly they can be rather garish, but I'd like the creature's colors to reflect the look of one of the games. Nostalgia and all that! This doesn't mean the creature needs to be bipedal and/or clothed! You can do that if you want, certainly, but all I'm really after are the colors and blond hair.

Features: Blond hair, blue-flaming sword
Species: Any
Element(s): None
Theme: Quest For Glory Paladin

Stubbornly still sticking to my Quest for Glory stuff. XD Got a specific class this time, though.

The "special" class in the game is the Paladin. You can't pick to be one like you can chose the path of a Fighter, Mage, or Thief. The Paladin class is a reward for nobility of spirit and action, which any of the three starter classes can aspire to, but is hardest for the Thief and easiest for the Fighter.

To seek. To learn. To do. That is the way of the Paladin. Honor is paramount in all things they do. They do what is right, rather than what is lawful. It is a very hard path to follow, but there are things a Paladin can do, deeds they can achieve, that the other classes can discover yet cannot solve.

Graphically the Paladin is identical to the Fighter. The only notable difference I've requested for the image is the presence of a sword that is alight with holy blue flame. The Paladin also has a slew of holy abilities, but leave the worrying about those to me. :D

For color-scheme ideas, I'm including screenshots from the first four of the five games. (The fifth game doesn't have an overall "uniform" look for the characters.) Admittedly they can be rather garish, but I'd like the creature's colors to reflect the look of one of the games. Nostalgia and all that!

~ABOUT THE IMAGE~
Color(s): see theme
Features: long, spiky red hair, goggles, optional electro-rod
Species: draconic
Element(s): I'd say Reno is "fire" if you want to make the image a little "more" than what the character is.
Theme: So, at a near loss as to what I wanted to ask for, I decided to be fangirl-ish and ask for a Reno-style dragon (since Phe already has Vincent, and annoying cocky is more my amusement style at the moment) from FF7, since I've been watching Advent Children every day for the past week out of boredom.

Those are three reference images. I'd like him to have his standard electro-rod as well, but that's optional.

Jess D! I got you!

I hope you don't mind, I saw feline (dragon) and of course drew a catdragon...I didn't notice the 'lean' until after I had scanned, so...if you want, I can draw another later..

jess d · Post by **jess d** » Fri Feb 09, 2007 8:28 pm

Eeee! (abbreviated squeal, as I think Myr had enough of that on AIM)

Such a cute catdragon! Now, to decide gender and name.....

Edit: forgot that I put I wanted female! good thing that is what I was leaning towards when I saw her!

Rachael · Post by **Rachael** » Sat Feb 10, 2007 2:25 am

Phee!

Okay, now, I was so happy I got you, and you'll... get more than one image this month because this first one was really because today I had two hours and............ Never will leave home only with lined paper again.

So first off!

And uh, I hope you like.

Done in pencil, scanned in, smudged to hell, colored, and such. <3

Xenoqueen · Post by **Xenoqueen** » Sat Feb 10, 2007 11:44 am

XD Phee beat me to the awesome generator (which saves me tons of time to be wasted by drawing more in school!), and the site is at:

http://magicisle.nonanut.com

Firefox apparently hates my javascript navigation so IE6 is preferable. ^^*

Shard · Post by **Shard** » Fri Feb 16, 2007 12:24 pm

That's unfortunate because I won't open IE for any reason whatsoever at this point

The site looks nice, from what I can tell, but no navigation. Why use java to navigate when a frame and a list will do? Especially if it locks out users?

Post by **StarFyre** » Fri Feb 16, 2007 12:31 pm

The navigation works in Opera *nods*

XD Neither of my computers even has explorer to work from, d'oh! And I was thinking of drawing a couple of Ojee, too. Ah well.

Myrror · Post by **Myrror** » Fri Feb 16, 2007 11:46 pm

I won't open IE either...but if worst comes to worst, you can view the page source, and find the other pages that way. it's a bit of work, but doable.

Post by **Dray** » Fri Feb 16, 2007 11:50 pm

...I tried that, but got so ridiculously confused when trying to find the litter--and then accidentally closing down the guestbook form before the last step was filled out--that I'm really frustrated now. >.O" Arg.
