Glad you like!
Not a problem! Her fur (this dragon doesn't have a name ) is described as being taupe, a sort of greyish, muted tan - a light brown colour that is more yellow than red. The artist whom this dragon belongs to uses a single Crayola coloured pencil to get the effect which is just called 'Taupe'; I use Faber Castels and didn't have that luxury I used four colours: a skin-tan, then a bit of grey, a dark yellowed brown, and a lighter yellow brown - the one I use for my buckskin snarks. The shaded areas were done with the dark brown dominant and accentuated with black.
If you have a 48 pack of Fabers, here are the colour numbers:
#30 - Light Flesh; #97 - Cool Dark Grey; #76 - Van Dyeck Brown; #83 - Gold Ochre.

Ah yes Faber Castells..my old friend hahah and luckily for me I do have a 48 pack of fabers.I also have a 48 pack of prisma colors but I only use them when drawing big pieces while I use the Fabers for reference sheets.I might even use them together.Hmm those colors eh?Then I think I'll have to mark put some marks on those colors so that I will remember them.Ah the Gold Ochre color haha one of my personal favorites.
Thanks for the information by the way.

Ah, the elusive prisma colours! You can't get them here. However, there are the German-made Faber Castell Polychromos which I find to be excellent, so I'm not completely devoid of quality drawing materials!! Admittedly they are about $3 each ... so they'd better be good! Yes, the gold ochre is a great all-rounder. Have fun with them and good luck!

Heh you're very right about the prisma colors being very elusive.Heck there were only a few of them available in the store that I bought the 48 colors set and those were behind a glass cabinet haha.Had to save for several months on that one.
Heh and I still haven't made any progress yet of coloring my characters because of damn school haha.

I couldn't think of a better word for her, glad you like it! Tobias is my familiar I think, as are Chez and Cerddoriaeth ... do you think there is a limit on how many familiars you can have??

HootHoot44 In reply to CSIllustrator [2013-06-18 04:43:03 +0000 UTC]

Probably not, each one is in charge of your individual emotions, thoughts, characteristics, ect. Chez is the brains and intellectual side obviously. Cerddoriaeth is your love of music, and Tobias holds your heart and emotions I'm guessing. ^^
My dragon er...familiar seems like she guards me and my heart from harm, and if I'm scared I imagine her standing next to me sometimes and walking beside me.

Nicely picked up! That's so true! Tobias is my independent/loner streak I guess (desert snarks are the least social of the types, and his nature to run probably has something to do with me wanting to run away from things I guess?) He guards me too, like how you describe your dragon doing for you

Aww! I never though of Skinny as someone to run away...more like avoid. It's so weird because I'm perfectly comfortable to be alone as well. If people want to talk to me that's fine. If not then I don't care I've always been aloof, most of the school year I chose to sit by myself because its peaceful. My dragon is just the same, if not more wary than I am. She gets nervous about things easily.

Duff is like the boyfriend I'll never have... Ugh...I need a life XD.

Same! At school I had one friend who I always hung out with, but since uni is structured differently and even if your doing the same major you're not likely to see someone a lot so I'm by myself more than half the time. But that's fine by me! Skinny himself isn't much of a runner-awayer (great engrish huh) but he loves the freedom in running, which is something I don't have, for obvious reasons
Naww Duff Well, you can't suddenly make yourself have a real life boyfriend, so why not

Yeah! My dragon's ability to fly is like the same thing! XD I love flying dreams, they're my favorite! I feel so free and weightless... Last night I literally almost fainted in bed because I had an EXTREMELY realistic dream that someone shoved a toothpick through my foot and I stepped on a bunch too. I actually felt my blood pressure drop. It was AWFUL.

We need to hire the wizard to make all of out familiars + Duff come alive!

I used to have heaps of flying dreams when I was little - I used to remember I always wanted to do a loop-the-loop, and the night I finally did one I was so happy I don't fly so much any more, but a few times Tobias has made an appearance, which is awesome He never talks to me in my dreams though. Rude boy.
I'm the opposite, I've had dreams where I've had my hand sawn off, my head shoved on a car engine and the hood slammed on it, been whooped senseless ... I remember one dream where I had some woman screaming at me that the world was going to end and I was like, chill, look, it's only a dream - grabbed a chestnut and impaled my hand on it, said look, it doesn't hurt see - and she ran away still screaming that it was all real and we were all going to die No pain. That sounds horrible though
ERMAHGERD YES.

Impaled your hand on a chestnut?! I had a dream that I was a pirate and I was on a ship ran by children, but there was one angry black beard guy who went after me! I ran and the ship turned into my grandmothers house and when I got outside I grew fairy wings and flew around the yard! He could fly too, just not as fast. XD When I have flying dreams I flap my arms to fly usually.

Yeah, we used to have a chestnut tree outside our house so for some reason my brain was like "Here, use this chestnut!" Ah man, I love funky dreams like that! I had one where I was being hunted by a giant in a giant supermarket and I had a brown and yellow coat and yellow welly boots and I hid by crouching upside down in the Vegemite section (Vegemite: [link] It's a salty bread spread made with yeast ...) I always have to flap my arms to fly, but my dad said that when he used to have flying dreams he used to just lean forward and glide away. No fair
Maybe we should just become wizards ourselves!

Hovanny's like that unapproachable hot girl at school that all the boys like, but are too scared to come close too. She realizes the attention she gets but doesn't care too much Skinny's gonna have to put on his best game to grab her attention.
