Description Zoom in for detail, please.

My sister and I drew this together.

The dragon is pretty much the castle itself. He's like the engine while the people live inside him...I guess. hehe. It's sort of like a parasite vs. host thing, but the parasite is good in this case. Organic and mechanical.
There are wings at the bottom to sort of help it "keep afloat."
~Done in pencil and Staedtler ink and Prisma colored pencil. Enjoy.

(The scan was a horrible ><..)

**We were inspired by the movie (and book) Howl's Moving Castle. (Myazaki's movies are always beautiful and amazing!) i don't think i spelled his name right...>>

This is a really cool concept, and very well detailed I love the construction of the building and the way the dragon's head is drawn is strikingly awesome. You two have great ideas!

Oh, wow! This is an awesome pic! With all the details and all... The dragon's head looks very, very good, as well as the rest of him... This kind of reminds me of Howl's moving castle...

Alamora In reply to P680 [2005-12-06 23:34:54 +0000 UTC]

Hehee, thank you. And yes, that's exactly where I got the idea from. I give most of my credit of drawing this to the imaginantion of Myazaki and his movies.

Wow... so detailed.... Really cool. Just coloring the sky does alot for it- makes it seem more vast and sweeping.

KageEx [2005-11-21 00:39:13 +0000 UTC]

Excellent details, the pic really has a nice flow to it. But u really darkened up your lines on the dragons head, did u do it on purpose bc everytime i look at the pic my eye jsut rolls towards the dragons head >_<. would love to see this piece colored ^^

Alamora In reply to KageEx [2005-11-21 20:31:07 +0000 UTC]

Thank you ^^ And actually, we did want to focous the attention on the dragon head so you could start there and follow his neck to the "body." Sort of like a suprise. xp

Holy mackeral, thats just wicked. I wish I had a sibling I could draw with and have stuff like that as the result--my six-year-old sister still doesn't know how to color inside the lines, ha ha ha.

Interesting concept. You have a lot of details, but they are still easy to 'read', so kudos to you and your sister.


...you ever going to finish the colored version?

BurnedBonemeal [2005-11-19 17:21:53 +0000 UTC]

This is similar to a strange dream I had once.. The habitation within dragon's body wasn't to the extent shown here, though.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Alamora In reply to BurnedBonemeal [2005-11-19 17:23:21 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I actually had a dream like that too. How could I have made the habitation better?

BurnedBonemeal In reply to Alamora [2005-11-28 21:56:43 +0000 UTC]

Er, sorry to reply somewhat later. In my dream, the habitation within the dragon was more cavelike, somewhat like a humanoid ant colony. Most of the cool things it had could only be seen from within, ..but that would be really hard to show in a picture now wouldn't it?

Oh I love this! The detail is amazing. I like the little people in the balloons. A wonderful idea, you and your sister should be very proud - it's certainly very imaginative and original!

It's an instant Fav!
