Description

This is a Secret Santa gift for .  This is her dragon character, Lord Greyscale.  What caught my attention on this guy's ref sheet is that he has "flaming shadow hair".  Love it!


Yes, Secret Santa.  No, don't you tell me it's MARCH now.  I know that!  This is a *make up* gift for RusCSI because her original partner was unable to complete her end of the trade.  We at RealmOfTheDragon didn't want anyone to get left out, so I volunteered to do one of the make-up gifts.


Prismacolor pencils over watercolor.

This piece is very nicely done! I love the character's pose, and your anatomy work is awesome! His wings are really well done too, and I love how you've done the shinies on the metal (:

Such an magnificent looking Dragon they have, very beautiful!

Really loving the work put into the Dragon's anatomy and body posture here!. The light and shadows, along with the bright and vibrant colours here. Are also quite a sight as well, very well done!

Thanks very much!  This was an interesting dragon to draw.  I haven't done a plain-colored dragon in a very long time - usually they are all covered with patterns and color!  That made this dragon rather fun, but I did have to pay close attention to the balance of color and value on his pale hide.

I love the joy on his face. And you know, when you see people this happy, you know they're up to something.

That's an unbeatable pose. It's sort of mid-way between landing and taking off. Then again, that's like arguing whether it's sunset or sunrise in a portrait.

LOL - Yes, and in this guy's case, he's probably calling in all his comrades to help!


The pose got goofy on me.  I couldn't decide what to do with his long legs, so yes, he's in liftoff/touchdown mode right now.

Beautiful work! Love the pose, and the way you did the black 'shadow' hair. Simply lovely!

Thank you!  RusCSI was very particular about the way the shadow hair works, so I wanted to make sure I did that part right!

Thank you.  I wanted to make sure that everyone receives a trade for the Secret Santa project, so I usually volunteer to do make-ups if anyone gets left behind.

It's such a lovely surprise to receive at morning! I kinda forgot about the event, but I'm so happy that the admins didn't... and that someone volunteered to make a gift for me  

I don't think I've ever seen him look so majestic The pose is quite interesting, I can't tell if he is running somewhere or flying... maybe both? x3
The drawing itself is so detailed, especially the armour. I love it <3

Thank you very much for volunteering! I still can't believe that I get a gift from someone so incredibly talented ;A;

I'm glad that you like the drawing!  I enjoy working with another artist's characters every once in a while, and I look forward to the Secret Santa projects every year. 


I could not quite decide what Lord Greyscale's pose should be.  It really is a bit of running and flying - he just took off and is making a call to action!
