Description
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: DRAGON FURSONA'S LOOK has changed I will always have wolf as my main and my other rag-tag fursonas. So no flipping out on me lol

Apologies for the huge size too >.> its the scale I worked on.

I know alot of my watchers don't respond very well to my dragon art (canineluverswhut?) but I put a shit-ton of effort into this and its a part of me too so i'll have it here anyway.

As some of you know I am a very spiritual person, I believe in totem animals, spiritual association, therianthropy and otherkin etc. However I also believe that for the most part the soul of a person is too diverse and colorful to be represented by just one creature. We have varying degrees of 'dominant' natures.
For example wolf is my dominant therian spirit, it best represents my personality and its just the largest part of me. However there are smaller but influential spirits making up the whole of my soul. (Not multiple personality's...)
In my opinion I think anyone could associate with a dragon, their possibility is endless, they embody creativity and personality. They hold that mysterious ever changing quality of time, they are a difficult spirit to define.

Eh im rambling. I just went through one of the most toughest, stressful and shitty time recently and now that im over it, I pulled through I feel like this part of myself has changed. Become stouter, stronger, braver and more mature. Shes my shield, my protector, a pool of inner strength and endurance.

For example look at how I used to perceive her: (old form) [link] playful, light and flitty but still armored, childish and free of earthly binds. I no longer dream of her in that way, this form is built to endure, her wings shorter for more maneuverable flight and her feet flat for firm grounding.

As for the art itself I used a ton more airbrushing than I normally do and there is NO LINE ART just a colored sketch, albeit a clean sketch. Texture is by *hibbary I know I coulda been more inventive with the texture and the shadow under her disappeared but I loved the plain look of the background, very dreamy and like parchment.

Because an old version of it is on the front page when you type "fursona," and it links to this one

This is excellent, I love her body. I'm not sure about her eyes, but the overall design is simply excellent. Her hands and feet are really cool, I like them a lot. I love how her toes are designed and how they rest on the ground. ed of course!

On the simplest level, I love this piece because of the feet; you've conquered them. Secondly, her form is beautiful and neat; the colors are vivid and daring, but still natural.
You're commentary about having many characters touched me tremendously. "They hold that mysterious ever changing quality of time, they are a difficult spirit to define." is absolutely brilliant. Being a person who has no fursona or character, I was delighted to find another individual who also feels that no single character can sum up an entire person's individuality. Your poetic and highly eloquent comments add to each and every piece you do.
I find it rather unfortunate that many people don't read the artist comments under each deviation. A picture's worth a thousand words, but what would the picture mean without words to explain it?
I discovered your account just today. I'm sure you get comments like this a lot, but I'd just like to say-along with many, many others- you are a brilliant artist. Art isn't all in the drawing: it's also in the comments. Thank you for showing us this.

Well, sketches are the best way to get a feeling for the movement and to keep the design consistent when you do decide to do a finished piece

Who tf doesn't respond very well to your dragon pieces?? they can lick my nuts CAUSE THIS IS FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!#!

I remember talking to you about that really intriguing spiritual belief(s) that you have. I find it so fascinating. Truly symbolic and beautiful.
I love how this combination of the light blue and the gray colours define you and almost creates your personality.
Beautiful breed of dragon. Such an incredible design.
