Description
I colored her! >:UI figured that, since she's a celestial-template dragon, she'd have the same color body scales (extremely reflective silver) that normal adult silver dragons have, rather than what's typical for wyrmlings (bluish-gray scales). Except this is stylized so I didn't put any scales anywhere, heh. I moved the other version to scraps
Character is mine, D&D silver dragons belong to WOTC

Oh...the coloring is just wonderful. I love her eyes, and for some reason the background is very fitting ^_^

Background is just the lineart put through a ton of Photoshop filters, actually (yay, lazy!)
Thank you!

Thank you!
Not to play the annoying "that's my style" card, but yes, that really is a stylistic thing. That grin is in a cartoony shorthand for various expressions that show regardless of what position the head is in. It doesn't look anything like a real mouth, but it sorta works.
However, instead of using that as an excuse to stagnate, I will be doing more detailed work where the dragons' faces are more realistic... so this isn't an excuse to stagnate or anything

Sweet!! I'm glad to hear it!!in my college the proffessors are always pushing animators to know proper anamtomy. and I think that no matter what artistic style or what they draw they should take their ABC'S in amatomy.

I can imagine it would be important for animators! Not only knowing what shape and proportion things are supposed to be, but also how they flex and move, well, I can see how that would be greatly useful in drawing a series of pictures that are supposed to move. I can just as easily see how that would be important for a cartoonist as well; knowing the basics should make it easier to draw more poses quickly from the head (and that's more up my alley, too... I'm not sure if I ever want to seriously get into animation, but I do love drawing comics!)

Go for it!
I really wish I had a comic project ready to go; even though I've been planning like four for a long time, none of them are ready to be drawn... the writing part always trips me up. Comics are ruined so much more by crappy writing than they are by crappy art, so if the writing isn't perfect or even good then I'm not willing to draw it. Yet, I haven't been able to do much work on the writing part, either... damn writer's block.

Thanks I will !!! The thing I'm doing to help with the writing part of the comic is that I'm, having a close friend write it for me, based off a script I've given her. In the mean time I base my drawings off the visual sequences in my head and the primitive script, While leaving places for the writing to be ( for example: idea clouds and thought bubbles that are empty) and to make sure The bubbles are able to fit the final writing. I would use the text from the primitive script ( which usually gives an good idea on how big the bubbles have to be) Maybe you can try something slimliar, it could be better for your work flow.

It's not the dialogue that needs lots of writing workβ it's the story itself I'm still working with rough ideas for all my characters, thinking about the thematic content, deciding what scenes need to happen in what order and lots of other stuff about the setting... I believe in very well thought-out stories
I wish I had someone with whom to bounce ideas off of... unfortunately I tend to seek out real-life friends for that kind of thing (I'm shy about sharing my story ideas with internet folks) and most of them are... kinda really busy
But, I've drawn comics before, and the translating a written script to a storyboard/drawn comic is, in my opinion, really the easy part
