Description Grraahh! And this one had so much potential, too! I messed up on so many things. The snout and nostrils are completely wrong, the colors are too light, and the forest floor was absolutely destroyed, so I botched it and left the remainder of the paper blank. I read on another DA that to push a piece of artwork until it cracks is the best way to learn something new in the art world, which was certainly the case for this.

Anyways, this is a piece of artwork I did pretty recently (maybe a month ago?) for Rah-Bop, an amazing artist. She too is a dragon of this good green Earth, and she too is madly in love with birds. Here she is happening upon a magpie in an old, boreal forest, resulting in a silent but meaningful conversation. Those tend to be the best sorts of conversations to have in the natural world, methinks.

I hope you like it, Rah!

Nice perspective. I like the colours and the bird with the dragon was beautifully done.

I think this is great even if you think you messed up a bit. I love the bird!! What is it with dragons and birds...maybe because they both fly they have a kinship? Hmm....Silkara loves birds too, they are her very source of energy in the astral anyway!!
I think the perspective in this picture is very hard but don't give up! I'm sure you can pull this off much better with practice!

wh-- I-- ...WOOOOOW!!! Totally unexpected and AWESOME. HOLY COW!

This looks amaaaaaaazing. I love the colors, especially in the little details like all those needles, and the sheen on the magpie's wings. (It's even a yellow-billed. a;lkdsf;alsdkgha;sdhf ♥♥♥♥ Great idea for a great composition, and everything. Gah, I love this! Thank you so much!!!

:laughs: I wouldn't draw you with any other bird!

...Wait, I take that back, it's been done already. XD

You're more than welcome! It was a pleasure to draw! Very good practice, and very much fun!

What an adorable face. You expect her to be hopping up and down in a moment to try to get it.
