Description Some of you may remember this line art: [link]

Here it is in color ^^ Done in ballpoint pen and watercolor paints. This one was a lot of fun to do. It was finished while watching Isvoc's stream, by the way.

They're linked by color! The lighter dragon has dark horns and spots on the fins, the darker dragon has light horns and spots on the fins.

There's a bigger version available under the download-button, for the people who'd want one.

Dank je! Ik heb geprobeerd steeds verder te komen met aquarel en inmiddels doe ik niets liever. ^^ Het is leuk om te zien dat mensen het even mooi vinden om naar te kijken als ik het mooi vind om mee te werken.

i love the flow and the positioning of the two dragons :} the one on the left is especially cool :3

Yes, I like the left one better as well. It was the first one I drew ^^ Originally, I didn't plan on drawing two dragons at all, it would just be the one on the left with some magic swirls of color splashed around it. But it just seemed so empty ;/ So I added the second one ^^

I'm glad you like them! Thanks for stopping by

They seem to move and stay completely still at the same time!

You soften us up again with your tender subjects and gentle colors. Another great entry into my new Legends collection.

Oh my God, You made a folder especially for me! O_O I am so honored. I'm so grateful!

So glad you like it ^^ I tried my hand at golden earth-tones, I had never used those in watercolor paintings before I really like how it turned out.

Hylanvahr In reply to Mystalia [2011-03-14 19:39:18 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, I'm grateful too. It was actually this piece that encouraged me to make that new collection (I added some of your older and still fantastic paintings there too). Your style is so unique, it defies all my other categories, and so I couldn't ignore it any longer. You are your own category now, which means I look forward to adding more of your work there soon.

I actually wanted to write a longer reply, but I had an appointment to hurry to, and still wanted to express my gratitude a little. It's absolutely wonderful to have people call your work unique. I think that's very important to an artist and I appreciate it very much.

It is also really nice to see a person who truly analyzes and appreciates certain forms of art, like yourself. A lot of people pass by, click the fave-button and run off. They like the piece, but don't really take the time to scan inbox-deviations for things they would cherish. (Not that I'm not happy with faves X) Faves are good. But it's neat if somewhat surprising to find a real art appreciator.)

You, sir, have made me truly happy today ^^

Well, I'll be honest, a lot of my 's are simple fave-and-go's. I do comment quite a bit too, but sometimes there's so much I like to fave, and so little time or energy to think of a good comment to say. And then I come across art like yours in my inbox, and I feel compelled to actually take the time to appreciate it.

I saw this piece from you only minutes after it came out, loved it, and I deliberately set it aside until I could do it justice by giving it a decent comment along with the fave. Sometimes I might fave lineart, but if there's a hint or promise of a colored version coming, I usually wait to fave and comment when the color arrives.

interesting, i didn't expect this colors
i like the linking in the colors, and i like that's it not so "brashing", you don't see it immidiately, you have to look closer to see the association.
also the watercolors fit again so perfectly calm with the background texture, i love it^^

Mystalia In reply to aelendal [2011-03-13 20:55:25 +0000 UTC]

Tell me, what colors were you expecting? ^^ I didn't intend to color them like this from the start. But I was getting kind of tired of coloring my dragons green, so I stuck with earthy brown and gold. It turned out nicer than I thought it would!

They're my personal yin and yang ^^ Light and dark. And God, I love watercolors.

Glad you like it! Thanks for stopping by.

I really like color scheme. It's so... warm. It creates really positive feelings in me ^^ And once again - you made pretty awesome horns
I'm happy you found time to visit my stream, btw ^^

Mystalia In reply to Isvoc [2011-03-13 20:47:41 +0000 UTC]

The stream was lovely, I wish I could draw skies the way you can. Or paint digitally at all, for that matter X)

Glad you like it! I was getting a little tired of making all of my dragons green, so I chose to make these two earthy brown and gold instead. It turned out nicer than I thought it would. And God knows I love designing different types of horns <3
