Description
Based on an RP withGUYS! I'M SO HAPPY WITH THIS YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!! I spend about all of last week working on it, then I was off on vacation over the past weekend, so I finished it up when I got home today. AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!
I needed some serious help with the water, so I looked at SO MANY tutorials, eventually I found this one,Β fav.me/dju90d and it gave me a good basis on what to do. Other than the basics, I did it all without a tutorial. I'm so proud! xD EVERYTHING IS SO SPARKLY!
I'm not for certain on how Haejin's true form looks, but I'd been itching to draw it so badly. Kozu told me to just wing it and see how it looks, and that's what I did. Aaaaand I'm in love.
I'm so happy with this, hope you all love it as much as I do!
Long story short, Meiyin had never seen a dragon up close and personal- she can make illusions and such using their image, but never seen a living, breathing dragon right before her. Haejin was sweet enough to oblige and show her. These two are the cutest things ever--I love them--so much it hurts! xDI hope you like this, Kozu!
Also scales--scales are awful and I hate them...xD
Haejin belongs to
Meiyin belongs to me!
Both characters are part of the group
Edit: there was a squiggly line that wasn't supposed to be in the picture- it's gone now xD

This is really pretty with all the starlight
This was done a while back so you may have already altered your style but I'd like to offer a critique on the dragon's reflection as it is the wrong way around. You have repeated the dragons back in the water however this should actually be the belly. So that you don't have to draw anything super complex I would propose just using the block colour of the belly (or body as that might look even better) and maybe even blur the edges slightly to give the reflection effect.

I don't blame you with the amount of sources. There's not a lot to work from when it comes to Korean dragons and imugi a unfortunately T-T It's still great though!

Thank you~! I'm glad you like it! You don't know how many different types of dragons I looked at. To come up with the design....He was going towards looking a lot like Haku from Spirited Away (I don't know if you've ever seen it, but it's amazing), but I figured it was too cliche for a water dragon....so I replaced the flowing mane with the diamond scale pattern you have on his yokai form. I looked at different water dragons and such, and narrowed it down to even the amount of toes Korean dragons have versus Japanese and Chinese ones.
He still sort of looks like Haku though...
