Description A while ago, won the page view prize..actually he was closest cos no one actually owned up to claim a prize

He asked for a Skeleton dragon, which I jumped at the chance to do. I love drawing beasties, especially dragons, all I used to do in art class. Not chibis beleive it or not, thats a recent intervention! So this drawing is kinda going back to my roots. Its not finished, but I thought I'd show you the work in progress.

I rarely draw skeletons,a nd seeing as dragon skeletons are hard to come by, I had to lynch some anatomy and skeletal structures. Its not perect, but I like it

What are you talkin about? I've seen your pencil shading and I envy it! Everyone here on DA has something to be proud of...except art thieves The colouring of this is being a bitch at the moment.....

Hey, the colouring turned out awesome tho! I could really tell how much effort you had put into it. Seriously impressive

And thanks so much for the compliment, it really is an honour coming from you I think you are also an exceptional artist and I really admire your positive attitude towards art ^_^

(and a big 'here here' about those art thieves! )

StrangeSaint In reply to happymonkeyshoes [2005-03-07 08:59:48 +0000 UTC]

It's definitely improved I'd say! I've seen similar things you;ve drawn when you showed me your sketch book... The accurate detail is far better...

basically what I'm trying to say is; TAKE THE FUCKING COMPLIMENT!

I like thia dragon very much, particularly the pose. I am quite impressed that you where able to do such a difficult pose with just bones! On the whole this dragon thinks it is quite impressive, that she does.
