Description Unless your into really old children's movies, you probably don't know where this dragon is from. He is Falcor, the flying luck dragon from "The Never Ending Story". I don't think I've ever seen it when I was little. If I did I must not of liked it at the time. I find that it's a really neat and creative story, especially considering how old it is and that it's a children's movie. Falcor almost looks more like a dog than a dragon, doesn' he? XD

I've had the sketch for this kicking around in my sketchbook for a while now and I was bored at the trailer so I decided to finish it. I think my scanner must've really liked it, cuz it ate it all up. D: I had to fix it up in photoshop a lot to make it look presentable. You can still see an ugly brown spot on his tail. >.< I also put metalic silver streaks in his fur, but you can' t tell from the scan.

I'm not really sure how much I like how it came out... I was feeling kinda lazy when I did it and didn't put as much detail in some parts as I normally do. I was also very unpleased with the colours when I fist finished it.

Maybe you did see it as a child, but blocked it from memory. I remember being traumatized by that film, between the death of Artex, the scariness of Hmork, and the fact that the world is destroyed and everyone dies towards the end. But yeah, I loved Falkor. My favorite part. I mean...what kid DOESN'T want to ride a big white dragon everywhere? As a child, I always thought of him as a big dog. It wasn't until later in life I started appreciating his Chinese dragon qualities.

Well, this drawing is quite old. I've been thinking of redoing it and making him a little friendlier looking.

Wow, you made Falkor look fierce! This is awesome. There isn't enough fan art of him.

I have a related deviation. I'd be ecstatic if you'd check it out and leave some commentary. It's obvious you're a busy deviant. So, I understand if you don't have the time.

The Never Ending Story is the greatest fantasy story shown on film before the year of 2000!

Falcor turned out really good

Thank you ^-^
I'm actually quite fond of Falcor's design. It's very original and I find it kinda rare to see dragons with fur in old movies like that. Besides, seeing as dragons are fictional creatures they can be based on almost any animal.

Again, you did such a terrific job on the scales. <33 Very detailed~ The tail looks great as well. It might just be me, but I think the neck came out a little oddly. D: I'm not sure why or how, but.. meh. D: You still did a terrific job. Keep it up~~

ShikaTheFox In reply to c0nkz [2007-08-22 01:36:54 +0000 UTC]

Thank you X3 I think it's that his neck is a bit long and thick and that his body is a bit short... I notice that a little while ago.

Seen it, frankly he looks better in the Animated Series than any of the movies.

I've never seen the animated series, but he probably does look better in them. Especially considering he's a robotic puppet in the movies.
