Description The Nocturne (pronounced Noak-Tehn) are a magnificent race of dragons that dwell in Ulznah, the most sacred cloud city of Haiascyinth. These magnificent creatures gather at dusk to bless Kazrae, the Three Suns of Thok. The very essence of their lives are driven by Kazrae, existing between a delicate balance of light and darkness. It is the perfect will of the Nocturne and Kazrae that all life above and below shall remain in its precious, unbroken harmony.

My gift to all of you. The friendship, encouragement and inspiration I have received from everyone here far exceeds the ability to express my gratitude and appreciation. There are many talented artists in this incredible community and it is an honor to be apart of it. I wish you all the very best as we approach the new year. Happy holidays, deviantART!

Ballpoint pen + Photoshop. Sized as a wallpaper, prints available. Enjoy.

The scales seem a bit flat, but I suppose it produces a pleasing enough effect. Great composition, curves and arches.

dematari [2005-12-28 03:16:59 +0000 UTC]

This is a really nice picture.

But I have one little tiff, the eye of the dragon seems to out do the rest of the body I don't know if this was your intention or not, but the eye while it looks realistic and such the body doesn't look like the same realistic that they eye does. Now unless the eye was ment to be the focal point of the picture you did that.

Wow, it's so pretty...I wish I could get my attempt at drawing dragons to look somewhere near as good as that is...

Have you got any tips on how I could make mine any better? (I don't actually have many uploaded, only two), but mine are always so cartoony. I do mine in either pen or pencil then attack them in photoshop for the colouring as well.
