Description THIS IS NOT FOR ANYONE ELSES USE!
I know this is a day late, but I was too lazy to think of anything to put for a decent description yesterday.
Anyway, I drew this a day after I drew Dughall on a napkin (I admit I had to go back to the napkin drawing just to draw this again). There are a few things I like about the napkin drawing better but I guess it's just gonna take more practice. I think I did a much better job with positioning his head frill on this one though, it has more of a shape, like it goes along with the curve of his skull.
Anyway, after coloring his head and frills I decided to draw frills with different color schemes to get myself thinking and visioning the possibilities. I also included his chin growths (I just love those things for some reason, they aren't horns or spikes, just cool looking growths).
Changes made:
    
  • His brown body shade: I only had one shade of brown to work with. In his first design I created using Dragon Maker, I used a much darker brown because I thought brown was an uncommon dragon color, at least I didn't see it that often (then again I was more concerned about finding a unique name for him at the time), I just wanted something unique and different for my second OC dragon, I was making him for my first OC Mozart after all, he needed to be special. I kind of like this brown though. Makes him look like a tree, which would be great for camouflage. I'll do some more fiddling with it and more research on brown snakes.
  •     
  • His eye color: (I only had three colors to work with so yeah) while I really like this and green eyes look good on him, green just seems like a common eye color for a dragon. He originally had light brown eyes with a light green eyeball, but I only had one shade of brown at the time so I made the iris green and the eyeball black just to make it stand out. I think I will definitely keep the black eyeball though, it looks so COOL!
  •     
  • His ear frill color: originally it was brown with green membrane. But I decided to mix it up a bit. I like it. I think I just might keep it.
  •     
  • The color of his chin growths: they were the same brown as his body but in this pic I made them black. I thought green was too obvious a choice. But I might change it back to brown to match the rest of his body. Time will tell.


  • That's all I've got for now. I'm still practicing on drawing his snake body and two arms like a real lindwurm (or at least one of many descriptions). And who knows? I may change that to.

    I do sincerely like it, will you work on it or other versions in the future? (Not saying it is bad, just curious to see if there will be continuations or similar works like this)

    I do plan on improving it. Practice makes perfect after all. But to be honest I don't draw Dughall that much, but I have been practicing with dragons in general so maybe that's why this turned out so well.

    I just did this to see all the possibilities with his color theme of brown, green, and black. Because in all the digital pictures I've drawn of him his appearance changes one way or another   because I had never actually done anything significant with his character before, it's always been Mozart who I focused on. I had always intended to remodel him when I first made him anyway. He just needed a starting point.
