Description Well, lookee here! It's a minor miracle! I have never, in my life, drawn a full-body shinoar. Early renditions, sure... but never an actual one because I generally get too frustrated. The skeleton on the second page of my scraps was the closest I ever got.

So now here this is, full of mistakes and other issues such as the head being a tad too small, and the wings being funky... but for all of that, I am so happy with this image that I want to dance for joy, just like in the drawing.

Really, really nice ^^ I like it!

Good anatomy study, good position in space, cute expression, plus a clean line-art!

(have you see that his right foot fingers are bigger than left foot?)

I don't like cell-shading though. O_o It makes it too cartoony.

Geez Shiari, you've got muscles and wings *down!* This is really cool..I love the texture on the wings, and the subtle details and shadings on the foot to define the muscles and joints in motion. Great job!

that looks really nice!! I love the wings, I always have so may problems with the wings when I draw anything. x_x I think the wings look fine, the body to me seems a bit off though. I feel like there should be more space between the forearms and the hind legs. Than again, I may just not know the species well enough

shiari In reply to clickclackcat [2005-11-07 18:32:59 +0000 UTC]

I think why you feel that way is that most dragon artists draw the front legs directly, or almost directly, underneath the wings. This leaves lots of space. When I think about flying I can feel my elbows pressed against my knees. To me, the directly underneath looks silly from a biological standpoint. Dragons built like could *not* fly without magical aide.... and the shinoar had no magic. Our front arms were also like the front limbs of a cat or a dog. Forward and back motion only, which is why they are also low-set.

that must be it. *nods* When I draw dragons wings I tend to put them behind the arm shoulder blades so the space is still there. Makes sens to me, I like the drawing still. :3

A species of dragon that I so closely associate with that I feel like one in spirit. *shrugs* it's a weird concept, but these were the first type of dragon I ever drew, way back in highschool.

It sounds pretty. I thought it might be another word for dragon........certainly looks like a dragon..........I think you do realte to certain things, real or not, sense or not.

You wanna talk about mistakes? My account exists so that when my friends are feeling bad about their work they can take a look at something that really isn't in the shade of good art!

I like this. This is very cool. Hey, you're on my favorites list, I've been waiting for something else to show up!
