Description Dragons of Naaβ„’ Website

--

Erv has decided to take a break from his long flight over seas and this unknown country. Just his luck he finds a cool babbling brook in an open meadow surrounded by whispering trees. As he calmly laps up the cold drink, a noise behind him catches his immediate attention. Startled, Erv turns his head to listen. What ever it is, it's right behind him.


What will happen?


Next sequence to come soon.




Erv the Mechaelen
Burlah the Lodych

I absolutely adore your dragons... and it appears that I've subconsciously assimilated a few of their characteristics into my own! (Or perhaps it's just the convergent evolution of ideas...) It's amazing the similarity: [link] I can't say more about how much I love your work than that!

*nods* with such complete and imaginitive characters.. i think a great tool would be some sort of model.. or poseable model (!!) hmmm...
even a scultpure of the skeleton.. i know you got the anatomy/physiology down pat on paper.. but.. all the same, a 3d model would be.. superb with the artwork <:3 like... how animators have the scultpures of the characters they are to portray.. yeah.. *tries to ignore mom yelling*
Kudos!

the pose and shading is really nice, and the strokes are clear and strong, I like that
but his wings are kind of odd...I didn't recognize at once it's wing what Erv got on his back.
but great work

w000, I really like the detail you put into the background story, it really made the image come alove for me (along with the great care in expressions on the characters). I noticed the 6 toes as well and figured "it's an Ahk thing." Hehe, I can't wait to hear more on this Erv.

I also noticed you have decided to stick with the wing folding idea. Looks more comfortable and "at rest" to me, at least.

and....

Who's doing artwork for Dreadmire? Ahkahna is, uh-huh uh-huh

Oh, beautiful! And I absolutely adore the background!
*squint* Is he... a Mechaelen Teyotshey? He's got the black markings, but his mane has been left long. And what species is the other draggie?

Yeah, yeah, curiosity killed the cat, but no one said anything about coyote!

Nice pencils though...real sleek

Ahkahna In reply to The-SixthLeafClover [2004-02-12 05:40:46 +0000 UTC]

You are the FIRST person to notice that Erv was born with 6 toes on BOTH back feet. And all of them are in good working order


I was wondering when someone would point that out

Oh, I see...that is real interesting actually, and something I hav'nt thought of..or anyone else..lol. I could'nt count all his toes on his other foot cause it was sorta hidden..though. Good job over all!

Silverback2001 [2004-02-12 00:35:48 +0000 UTC]

Awesome ^^ I love your style. The shading is excellent, so is the anatomy. I love the way the current is pulling Erv's hair, it isn't overdone and looks entirely natural. One thing I thought I would also comment on is the tree. *grin* the textures and such look wonderful, and the details make it look even better. I've tried doing trees before, and they always come out looking weird and un-tree-like. What you have done looks perfect ^_^ keep up the good work, and I can't wait to see what comes next.

Woah. THe pose, and expression is priceless. I can't wait till the next one. The tones of shading are very impressive too. I love, when someone can use pretty much one tool, to express something so perfectly. The distortion of the hair in the water, I have to say, is probably what is killing me the most. It LOOKS like water...it looks like it's toying with the strands of his hair, and pulling at it..seriously...I can not WAIT till the next one ^_^
