Little dragonets colony!

Post by Skysong »

I used to draw these kinds of things all the time when I was younger (ie, 10 or 11). I mentioned them to my boyfriend the other day, and his response was, "Well, why aren't you still doing them?"

So here's my tempt at reviving an oldie - a little colony of dragonets, complete with cutaway cliff and little burrows!

At the moment I'm trying to decide whether I like it enough to color it and finish it up, or just do some fancy inking stuff and leaving it alone.

Any feedback is much appretiated ^_^

Aww, how gorgeous! Really, it's very cute. I think it would look nice in colour. It'd differentiate between the dragons and the cliffs. But, with that said, some nice fancy inking would also work well. Either way, it's cute and lovely and definitely needs to be more than just an outline.

Thanks, guys ^__^

I've started to color it using *gasp* markers to fill in the big patches of color for the cliffs and caves. This is the first time I've used marker on a piece that I actually want to finish instead of just messing around with them, so we'll see how it turns out *nervous* I'll definitely post it here when the coloring is finished!

keeeeeee! So cute!

I used to do stick-figure caverns and scenes like that in elementary school. :) I think somewhere online there's a copy of my oldest works... They're not nearly as beautiful as this obviously. :)

lol - I wonder if anyone wants a stick figure dragon... :p

Finished! Well.. kinda. I'd like to add some kind of sky, but I'm horrible with clouds, and I can't do a smooth blue.. ah well.

Scanner killed the colors, too >_<

*squeeeee!**

I can just see my good ol' Stivr'wynn climbing up there. Reaching in. Grabbing, getting bit, swarmed, and finally having his way with the poor nestlings. :) That's actually the first thing I thought of - he'd so do that. :)

They're really good. Stick a photo in the background, I'm sure there's a couple pictures of sky/clouds appropriate to it!

Those are SO cute.

... today I saw a squirrel playing around in the yard and I mused that it looked a lot like a little wingless dragonet.

Hee hee, thanks for the lovely comments ^__^ Glad people like them!

@Shard - Stivr'wynn? Heh, well for the next one I'm planning on having some sort of predator stirring up trouble.. XD

@Astra - Well, dragonets are based on my old gerbils ^_^ They were an endless repository of poses and cuteness!

Yeah, I can so see any of my old gerbils in those poses. Well, maybe not the flying one, but definitely the others

It's _adorable_. Don't you sometimes wish little dragons like that actually existed? It'd be too too cute.

I have to admit though, I didn't notice some stuff in the black n white one compared to the colored one, and I'm still giggling over the little dragons! I waaant oone.

SQUEEEEE!!!

Soo... cute... I particularly love the red-orange one at the very top and the yellow one with the white legs. Pretty... Must cuddle...

Ooh, and the green one, and the one that's sleeping just like a kitty, and that one, and the other one, and the little ones. I love them all.

*prods Shard* We need to start up Dragon Survivor again. XD Maybe a horde of invading flits can be one of the challanges.

Sky: Those are TOO CUTE! I especially love the little brown baby that's hiding behind his (her?) siblings. And the blue that's yelling at the white-pointed yellow. Very family-ish.
