Description Yet another Cynder pic to grace dA

This is part of a drawing-in-progress, but she looked so good as is right now I couldn't resist making it a standalone here. I'm rather proud of this one ATM, I've rarely done "realistic" shading like this with a pencil. And, that's probably THE neatest handwriting anyone's ever gonna see from me XD

For some reason I find Cynder fun to draw...probably because she's more streamlined than Spyro. I dunno...I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy drawing this, took me about four and a half hours because I pay such damn close attention to small areas XD also the constant erasing and redrawing at the beginning.

I may digitally color this, I am NOT touching colored pencils if I can help it. Spyro's Sunset and Daydream to Reality 2 were one thing and I had a hell of a time getting those pencils to work.

If people so happen to want to use this, ASK ME FIRST. I'll probably say yes but check with me anyway.

EDIT: just now realized...I did it again, I forgot the opposite wing >< oh well

EDIT2: colored version: [link]

EDIT3: I've had some people ask me why her head is different from Eternal Night and about the pattern on her lower back. Her head (and the pattern colors on it in the above link) is based on her appearance in the end movie of ANB, and the pattern on her back is what you see on Adult Cynder's lower back both in the game-movies and in the battles against her. And the blade on her tail is the same as seen in the "cartoon" on [link]

Tools: standard printer paper, mechanical pencil, kneaded eraser

That's really cool. I havn't been able to do that with a pencil since 8th grade.
It was a good pencil.

thanks...guess I don't need to ask if I should color it or not? (I'm predicting a 99% chance of getting a yes...) lol

thanks

I don't know if I'll do shading like this again, but I probably will. It was fun with this pic, probably because I don't do dark colors often and Cynder's a black dragon.

All the time you put into shading on that pic was well worth it.
