Description
Perhaps the most remarkable planet in the solar system though, then again I may be a little biased!
In many ways this is the sister design to Venus. Where Venus is dangerous and volatile, Earth is relatively stable and teems with (easily observable) life.
I think I'm going to amend the post date list. I love the quality output on these much more than prior advents, but man are they killing me at this speed. It wasn't planned to be like this, but I'd like to stick with it.
Little design note: The horns are opalized (mostly towards the base).

ADVENT EVENT: 2019 SOLAR SYSTEM DRAGONS(3/10 OPEN)
Two of My Favorite Things, Together at Last: Space and Dragons
There are only going to be 10 designs! I may expand on the space theme in the future, but for now, this Spring Advent is themed after our very own Solar System!
All of these adopts will be designed off-base (unique artwork) in accordance the listed themes. I will begin completing the designs this month and posting them in April on their appointed dates!
Help out another Artist with Life Stuff™
Yup! For those of you who don't know, I do this art-thing full-time to support myself. By purchasing a design, you are directly helping in that endeavor. It puts food on the table for me (and my doggie), and pays the rent, while also allowing me to further myself in pursuit of my dream career. If you're big on supporting small businesses, hopes and dreams, and knowing where your money is going, there you go, you're my hero!

Truly awe inspiring pieces of art. There's so much to look at and so much detail. I see real life inspirations mixed with fantasy and it is overloading my imagination with all the possibilities. Thank you for sharing your art with us

Thank you Rascal! I've really grown tired of working completely flat and wanted to start flexing in directions I know I can easily push and handle (so that they come to me more quickly!)

I'm delighted to hear that!!! I used to be very nervous about just making things I thought looked cool, but it's been so nice that people have taken to them as well.
You're work is so wonderful too! Big time up my alley <3

Oh man I am so glad they jive with you! It was a total trip to make, but I think the result is pretty nice! Was able to practice rendering some materials I haven't messed with in a while too. I hope you enjoy them!!!

It was so much preplanning!!! And it /still/ ended up with hiccups but they were just not worth fixing given the pricing and time frame! Thank you so so much!!

I apologize that I don't comment often, but holy hell this one is.... I think you've outdone yourself with this one. From the tree branch horns to the scales, wrinkles, and skin flaps/folds, to the water... It's absolutely gorgeous. (not to mention the tiny moon XD)

It was a bit of a rollercoaster! It deviated from my initial concept quite a bit, but in the end this came out better. The original idea was too busy, the more I tried to implement it. Thank you very much!

OodlesofOwls In reply to Skollyson [2019-04-12 21:31:20 +0000 UTC]
it was worth it though. I'm glad you went a different direct than what started as too busy. this is elegant and should be fairly easy for the owner and anyone they commission to replicate it which is always a plus

Yes! I figure it can clean up super well as something more stylized or simplified, or well, if you need a reference for some more realistic rendering this can get you there!

I'm hoping to one day get to your skill level of rendering.
I've long since come to the realization that I will never draw like the people who's art I really admire. Not exactly anyway. BUT I can take what they show ad possibly teach and put my own flavor on it in my own style - even if in the end it isn't considered realism.
So long as I'm happy and enjoying it that's all that matters.
