Description Why "The King"?

Frilin is what's known as a "Royal dragon" by species. Nothing special about them except their tongues are a golden color, which I really should have put in to show.

Incidentally their incredibly docile if you bring fruit with you. Docile to the point where its' actually possible for flightless halflings to ride them.

Royal dragons have no wings, and very long tails. They inhabit Zashis' northern area, which is plains, for the most part.




Well... This turned out to be a doll. Quite a nice little piece of work. As it turns out my coloring skills aren't exactly up there with the best of them but my lineart is definately worth noting, if anything at all. So, while I was drawing this, I thought to myself: Why not just incorporate what I hate the most in coloring into what I do best?
This was the outcome, and people seem to like him. I personally liked using lines as shade, it just felt right. It felt "Comfortable" because, I'm just lazy, and I hate to color, to be perfectly honest. It isn't very noticable, but yeah, I only used 2 layers for this thing (Technically 3 counting the background sketch, but it got deleted.)
Moving on down the line, I used another old trick that I liked. (also seen on bathisun) I'm not the greatest blender, which is another reason I hate coloring, but another lazy, yet incredibly easy trick, is to "shape blend" which basically means shading with a shape, over and over.
I liked the result.

beautiful character, i absolutely love that face, both the chin and the freckly patterns on the skin! I think that black and white go really well with that grounded tan c: lovely design

Frogore In reply to Shinerai [2010-07-01 04:48:54 +0000 UTC]

My, my. A comment from shinerai involving praise. I must be moving up.

Yes I loved Frilin, even if he was just a funny-looking doodle I did, just to be working. I liked the whole idea of a royal, lazy, docile dragon with a pharoah chin and a feathered head.

Sadly shortly after I finished Frilin my monitor fried itself, and I lost photoshop. I should have it back within a week or 2 though.

You commenting this reminds me, I never drew Shinerai.

Shinerai I may end up asking you to do me a favor later. You can expect a note from me. I don't think it'll be in your "Area of Expertise" though.

You are incredible, you know that? One of the best dragon artists I've seen, and I love it that you have a different take on dragons, such as they all don't have wings and breath fire like soooo many do. Any-way, just wanted to express my amazement. I do have a question, are royal dragons not carnivorous by nature? Or are they more circled around an omnivore diet?

This awesome!
I've never seen a dragon with feathers for scales before!
Do you have a website of information on dragons? Or did you make up the feathers yourself?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Frogore In reply to TheAngelPhantom [2010-06-25 13:16:45 +0000 UTC]

Made up the feathers myself, but they're actually pretty easy

The feathers are biggest at the head, and get smaller both as you go down the neck, and get closer to the throat
