Advent Adopt Event: Spring-themed Dragons
Who doesn't enjoy Dragons?
For the coming month, I'll be running a small design advent in which I will be offering One-off, Spring-themed Dragon designs! All of these adopts will be designed off-base (unique artwork) in accordance the following themes. It was tough to narrow it down, but I have some great ideas for what I have limited myself to, and I think you guys will really enjoy them.
Help out another Artist with Life Stuff
Last semester I graduated. Now, with my Simulation and Game Design degree in hand, I'm working hard on my savings so that I can once again move out on my own. It's going to take a lot of work, but events like these should help immensely on relieving some of that pressure (my day job only nets me so much). Still, I have a long way to go; I know from previous experience how expensive life is-- especially moving costs.

I really like the rippling fins this one has, and great pose too!

Thankyou! The fins I recall being fun to come up with, but a bit of a pain to refine!

I appreciate it! Koi are a favorite thing to draw of mine as it is (I have a pond full!) so I definitely enjoyed this one!

Thank you Rascal! I fiddled with the settings of some brushes I had never really used to paint this one

Wow thank you! It was tough to find something that worked for the effect I wanted without actually rendering it out too much (since these are supposed to be primarily flat colored). I'm so glad it comes across well!

You're so welcome! Thanks for taking a chance on them!!! They were challenging to make, but I learned a lot and I'm fond of the result too

This kid is so darned pretty. I adore the way you interpreted all the Koi colouring, but more than that i adore all the intricate fins and the flattened face and whiskers! its so nicely balanced and aquatic feeling that i would totally see this kid causing trouble in a river or lake somewhere!Β

I have a koi pond, so Spring Time always means pond start-up season to me. I get to see all my water kids again and I've grown very attached to them over the years. Translating them into a design was sort of a weirdly personal experience and I took some of my favorite things about them and tried to pack them into a dragon.
