Description Coloured pencil and 3 green pens, 2008 Sept 10. (*silently sniffs about the murdered colours*)

Now then....
This would be the second of 5 or 6 gem dragon references. (Still got to decide whether I make a gem draggie of my own, the ruby one, because D&D seems to lack it... O.O) The idea as with the amethyst dragon came from the fact that I didn't like the Monster Manual II illustrations that much (although the emerald one I still found quite okay). So. There you go, enjoy the green shininess! ^.^

Emerald dragons are charismatic and are the keepers of vast amount of knowledge, usually knowing almost everything of interest in the region they live in. They are also very distrustful towards visitors, almost paranoid, but most likely they will just hide and watch the intruder until he/she would do something provoking (stealing from the treasure hoard or attacking the wyrmlings).

Unlike amethyst dragons, they are driven by strict order and discipline, but they are not swayed by morality (good) or any form of malice (evil). In D&D terms, they're Lawful Neutral.

They prefer living in the cones of extinct (or rarely, still active) volcanoes, or close to some form of civilization (but not too close so the population would disturb them).

Criticism is welcome as usual.

Hi Taureau, thank you so much for the extensive, amazing feedback! I may have felt some of the points you mention as being 'amiss', but never did I manage to put my finger on it - or mold them into words. This'll absolutely help me in future designs.

A dozen thanks for your encouragement! Hope you're treated as graciously by fellow Deviants as you've treated my works.

You're too kind, Jado! But oh, don't give me any ideas - there is already so much I have so little time for!
I wonder what kind of background would be interesting. Hmm!
Hope you have a great day.

Nonsense, sweet Elf! Shrug that thought off. Were it true, then we should all be shy and ashamed because there's always someone so much better at something out there. If you enjoy your work, then please - please please - go for it. Have fun. Create!

Love what you do and we'll learn to love you.

I have done a bronze dragon in ye olde days, but never a re-design or reference sheet. The versions that Todd Lockwood and Sam Wood made were already fantastic!

Here are mine:


One can never have enough of D&D's dragons, I find.

Thank you Maevynn! Green IS such a pretty thing...

In truth, I cannot recall the pencils I used: I only had some basic, every-kid-has-these colour pencils that kept on breaking. I'm glad I could squeeze this much out of them.

What fun I had, though!

hi yes I am a fellow dragon artist





so you said criticism is welcome, PLEASE don't be offended, but maybe you could try making the wing ulna and radius the same length as the wing humorous, and perhaps make the muscles shading instead of as if the flesh were folding completely in on itself? (and maybe a longer tail, it may be the tail is short or im just looking a it wrong) eh this is still better then my crap I don't even bother with muscle shading X3 I still love this though!
