Description This is product of one of those nights when I couldn't get a character out of my head. This is Shin-Ti, and ancient Kyth Draythyon. I'm really please with the way this image is turning out so far, probably one of my more complex dragon drawings. I'm still debating on if I should add in his right hand.

Shin-Ti is a servant to the Goddess of Hope, Fertility and Nature, so I decided to tint the original linework , before starting to color this image. Figuring this would give me an idea if these are the colors that I want to go with. Shin-Ti's mane is a deep green at the root that fades to gold, his body is pearlecent white, and his central eye is similar to a Peacock Topaz is shifts between varying shades of blue and purple. The hood/mask over his face is a made of a translucent cloth that is green that fades to gold.

I wanted to give him a subtle, earth/forest feel. For he is associated with the element of earth, and being a servant to the Goddess, I thought the above color scheme would work. I debated on using a shade of rust or russet brown but I'm not sure.

Shin-Ti is from the same world that Golden Deamons such as: Ashitaka and "The Fallen" , as well as, Slythorians , and finally The God of Fate and Time

Thank you very much ^^ I'm hoping to get back to this image soon, I have two others I want to try and finish first and this one is going to be hard for me to color in the long run. I'm glad ya like it!

*chuckles* Thanks for the comment ^^ I'm actually thinking of selling prints of Shin-Ti once I get him colored the way that I want him. So in a way I guess you could take him home

Wow! That's great, Kel! I love how twisted and turny his tail is! I love the way it loops around. The small wings are really cute. I especially love the face on this dragon. It's very lion-like. Very nice work! I like the pencil work... but I'm sure the finished piece will be good too!

Thanks for the comment, This image is posing to be a difficult one for me to figure out what medium I want to color him in. So I may end up with multiple versions o.O

Once again, you impress me with your artistic abilities. Very nice sketch and good use of color. I like it.

Now I'm just wondering if you're going to look at doing the 3 little things I humbly requested....
