Description
~~~Oh, lookie! Another dagrum! *lovelovelvolvakdajd;fkja;dkfja~~~*
Yeah.
This time the Mercury Dragon...
The smallest of the planets in the Solar System, Mercury is in the closest proximity to the sun, yet it withstands burning to a crisp by the sun's flares and intense heat. Though, on the opposite side of the planet where the sun's rays cannot shine against, the planet is a desert of ice~~~
*how inspiring...*
Mercury also has the shortest orbit around the sun - since he's little and all. His Greek counterpart is the god Hermes - the Messenger. *A Greek/Roman god/goddess dragon series yes plz*
So this guy is a little smaller and a little bit more fiery than the others - well, maybe not as fiesty as Mars, but still! I had to take some sparkle/highlight leisure...AND I HAVE A PASS THIS TIME! He's right next to the sun, poor thing! *grabs sunglasses*
Enjoy!

Time taken - about 2 hours

I thought I commented on all of these wth. Mercury, a truly tiny thing. And since it has no atmosphere and spins on its axis so slowly, I imagine this lil guy runs hot and cold. Fun fact: Mercury's day is roughly twice as long as its year.

Hermes is actually his Greek counterpart (I hate it when people get the Greek/Roman thing wrong. It drives me crazy. just pointing that out)

AWESOME! I adore the pose! Excellent design as well.
I so wish you'd do a Comet Dragon...I'd love to see the design you'd come up with for that. I love comets. ^^

Thank you!
I'm actually pondering on continuing the series into 2010 - partly for another calendar...and partly for more fun!

Welcome. :3
You've got my thumbs-up to keep it going! I'd love to see what else you could come up with.

^^
I really am deeply considering it - though I am focused more right now on really honing my lineless skills~~~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe you could continue it, only do it in the lineless style? That way you could do both at once. ^^ Of course, in the end it is totally up to you!

I was thinking of that, too - t'would be nifty. But I also like the consistency of the lines/cell - something I'd also like to clean up a bit more. Though, I think between the ' Planetary' Series and the 'Elemental Bust' series, I kind of got burnt out!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, maybe you should take some time off to "rekindle the flame", so to speak. It's no good trying to do stuff when you feel burnt out!
Well, whatever you do end up doing, I'm sure it'll be awesome! Good luck in all your endeavors!

Yep - I'm taking a break and working with different techniques! It's all working out.
And thankies!
