Description
A little break from commissions, I sketched this up real quick over the early summer sometime with a ballpoint pen, so some of the lines look weird and off, but ah well, and I did the BG colouring REALLY quick.I've been feeling down since I lost my job that I liked, so I felt like colouring something nice
NOTE: The quality of the characters are MUCH better in the comic than they are in this pic, this is just a really really quickie sketch that I coloured really quick.
Sorin the mammalian Sol Dragon (sun dragon, but Sol sounds neater XD)
He's a perverted lil bugger XD he likes elven females XD he's also in the comic that my friend and I have been working on, so isn't the lil elf in the picture, but she's only a kid in this picture. The elf child is Princess Calicha whom in the comic is an adult and kinda messed up <.< You'll have to read to know what is wrong with her when she is an adult and a Queen BWAHAHAH. Sorin is also not full-sized here, the dragons on my world are shape shifters and they can also change size they can get as small as cats, he just wanted to be pony- sized for this pic XD
The content of the story is really intense but I have to keep the real content to a minimal amount because I am going to aim the story to teens and up. But some of it will definantly be hinted at <.<
When I get the story out, I'll release some notes later on aboutsome of the more intense content <.<
I hope to get the first issue out in stores by next year sometime
Mainly coloured in photoshop, touched up in Corel Painter X then final touches back in photoshop @.@

Wow, very nice, this looks great, very colorful.
Excellent work with the characters' posing and expressions and great looking details here.

welll if we get off pretty good with the story, there may be some Sorin plushies <.<
I like the way I did his wings here more than I did with the marker. The way I pictured them more or less, harder to do that way with markers lol unless I spent the $60 for that marker airbrush thinger, but I dunno if I'd want to do that.

Well you have my attention
I love the bold orange color with the blue, the details are great ^^ in a way your coloring reminds me a bit of mine.... though the white on the water, ground and tree look slightly out of place, is it for light?

the tree and the water were just fillers, I never put any effort into them, so they prolly look funky, but I don't really care XD
I was mostly focusing on Sorin really, and thanks! I wanted to make him colours like a pheonix because not many people have dragons that look like that.So it makes him look different and I think he looks gorgeous

He is indeed ^^ you did an awesome job nonetheless!
xD I was asking because normally I'm one of those that absolutely HAS to have details look decent, if not perfect
but you did awesome

haha thanks! I really really had fun with Sorin, I think he'd be fun for one of those shinXchange projects, I'd like to join that but it seems so weird, I don't totally understand the rules and what to do to join @.@

oooohhh I could help you with that 8D
the rules is basically filling out the 'form' for the character you want to have drawn and sending it in a note to shinxchange, and when you get a note back with whoever you get, you have to draw their picture before the deadline ^^
After a month and you dont have the other person's done, you get blacklisted, which means you can't join in again unless you're voted in (I dunno by who)
It's kiiind of like an art trade, but with a month deadline.
With that said I'm sure if you went and reread the journals it would appear much simpler for you :3 which is ok cause I didnt understand it myself at first ^^ I'll be joining in on it again in the future, hopefully

Ah okay I'd love to see other people's versions of my dragons,I love seeing how peopel draw my characters and I think they'd have fun with Sorin cuz of his unique colouration and style.I want to do a nice clean ref sheet kinda like Honoishi (or however it's spelled) did recently, nice clean lines solid colours, easy to pick up for the artist. I think it'd be hard for me to do flat colour of my dragon characters cuz most of them have like a pearly sheen or in Sorin's case, a prismatic sheen.

xD I know what you mean... usually if I color something I feel the need to shade it
and I know Honou :3 she's like a sister to me, I talk to her all of the time in shinerai's chat... really awesome people once you get to know them and get used to how they are around each other
Dragons are hard to have flat colors because a lot of them have sheens, or different textures
