Description Graphite drawing. Aproximately 13x19 inches. It took four scans to get it all into the computer. I loved working on this, although the shoulders were really hard to figure how I wanted them to look and were a major struggle.
Thought about calling this QUEEN!! because she is every bit a Queen, but it seemed to simple.

It really does Pern justice. The dragon looks so gentle and soft I could almost feel it.

This picture is just amazing. It's no wonder that it's your featured dev. and your avatar. The details are just amazing on the dragon, and the person looks absolutely flawless and graceful. I also like the background, simple enough that it draws attention to the main piece but it also leaves no space blank. You must have had great amounts of patience for all of this. Great work.

ArtbySandiJohnson In reply to YukiFurubaGirl [2006-04-16 14:48:45 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much. And thanks for giving it a little critique. So many people think that critique means to criticize and say what's wrong, and it does include that, but it also means letting the artist know what works in the piece. And we all need feedback. As far as the patience, some of it was hard to work out and took patience, like the shadows over the shoulders and some of it was sheer fun.

Oh... my... God... This drawing is sheer BRILLIANCE! I love the equine-like head, and the shading is perfect, it looks so beautifully smooth. And her rider's clothing is really well drawn too. I'm just missing the head-knobs, if this is supposed to be a Pernese dragon

ArtbySandiJohnson In reply to bronze-dragonrider [2005-11-01 02:30:48 +0000 UTC]

Thanks again. I'm not sure her clothing are right at all. I doubt that they showed their stomachs or had fringes.

bronze-dragonrider In reply to ArtbySandiJohnson [2005-11-01 02:51:24 +0000 UTC]

Fringes, probably not... but it still looks cool! That's the great thing about artistic lisence But I don't see why they wouldn't have showed their stomachs... Dragonriders usually aren't shy about showing skin, especially if it's in a warmer climate. As long as they aren't going *between* in that little clothing!
