Description
Okay, so this is as canon (in my opinion) as I can get to the books for a size comparison. My main references were;Glaedr - (Eldest) His eye was compared to the size of a roundshield (*Wouldn't of grown much bigger since Eldest as he was older and his growth would've slowed rapidly)
Thorn - (Inheritance) was quoted as slightly bigger than Saphira I believe in Dras Leona when they take down the cathedral
Saphira - Know all the references of her size throughout the books by heart because i'm that cool etc
Firnen - (Obvs Inheritance) Slightly smaller than Saphira (Doesn't make much sense considering his age and growth acceleration compared to Saphira's in Eragon from what I remember...)
Shruikan - (Inheritance) He's a tricky one because the way he's described (wings blot out most of the lights in the 'capital' (biggest in Alagaesia) city) and his spines are as wide as the trunks of ancient oak trees means that his size could vary from my sized Shruikan to something larger
Obviously, these sizes, (particularly Shruikans) only apply to my idea of what the dragons look like anatomically/physical proportions etc, so depending on CP's actual canon dragons, I could be way way out, but either way, here's just another idea of looking at their sizes

Yes, I do now haha D; But I think it was said that Glaedr's tail was nearly the length of her entire body, which mayyybbeee from this picture I could get away with...maybe haha

i wonder if CP has ever seen any of your drawings. i'd really like to hear his feedback on them. have you ever "tweeted" at him?
P.S- the whole Firnen size thing bothered me too. glad i wasn't the only one

I don't know... I hope so.. I don't have twitter so I may have to join! Be like, oi bitch, these characters here? Things like these should've been in your movie, why you no fight your corner for character design??! (And all the other things that were terribly wrong with the film! haha)

I am so angry with the movie that's Ive been fuming over it for years. THEY BETTER DO A REMAKE BEFORE I WALK INTO FOX AND KILL THEM ALLLLLLLLLL!!!! > MWAHAHAHAHA! How could they disgrace CP so badly? Most of the people I know, who I've tried to convert to a fan, they tell me, "Well, the movie really sucked so I don't really feel like going through the effort of reading the book."

I KNOW! my friends won't read them either cuz of the stupid ass movie! it's so aggravating because they're just such good books > i'd like to think that CP was just a victim and that he wasn't involved in that bowel movement of a film...

I agree with you about the size of FΓrnen, I didn't realized it while reading the books but I now see that he should be smaller, despite he was a male and perhaps he grows a bit faster, he was described too big in comparision with Saphira at his age O.o

I think it was just another one of CP's cop-outs to make things work.. Love the books, but sometimes it's like, come on dude, make the effort

How are you even supposed to ride a dragon that big? It would take me hours just to climb up

Well I assume Galbatorix would use a spell to lift himself up. But even if he did that, he would look ridiculous sitting on the back of that dragon! Imagine him sitting there making a speech or something, everyone would be like, 'What?! I can't hear you! Come down here and say it!' haha

Then death comes to the idiot who said it. Either that or the two keep shouting "WHAT?!" at eachother.

Glad it amused you.
By the way, if I might ask, do you intend to do a full body picture of your dragon that you made? She seems interesting.

EloiseS16 In reply to Zarsious [2013-04-11 19:27:34 +0000 UTC]
I do intend to, but I won't be able to get any work up for quite some time as my free time is severely limited currently At any given opportunity, I'll give it a go though

I hate it when free time is limited :c We can only hope it's fun stuff taking our time ahahah.
I wish you luck for when you get the chance to draw and all ^ ^
By the way, while I'm here; Your drawings are a true inspiration! I love how you draw the dragons and the humans, truly amazing.
