Description I'm just practicing my new shading (or coloring in general) technique. I failed with the wings and the shading though.... The wings are noticeably wrong, and the shadows make Jake look like he just painted his muscles on . I originally wanted to give the impression of muscles through the shading, but I accidentally went overboard and further ruined the pic.... This isn't fully complete yet so I guess you might see an edited version of this.

CRITIC AND COMMENT!!! NOW!!!!!

Wings are wrong? Well, maybe a little. However Jake's wings in the show are wrong most of the time. I remember that in one scene, where you could see his back, his wings started to shift their position and they moved from under the shoulders to above the shoulders.
This is just so much detailed and awesome as a whole, so I think it's cool.

Thanks so much! I was rather frustrated with how the wings turned out here. I was like... "why the hell did it come out like this!?!" But I was satisfied (or lazy ) with it enough to post it. And really? I knew that ADJL had some errors here and there (like that episode in season 2 where the gang got older, in the beginning of the episode Trixie's jacket was pink, but when that aging monster thingy got hold of her and Spud her jacket was her trademark blue) but I didn't notice that with Jake's wings. What episode did you see it in? I'm curious to see it.

I have discovered about the show just two weeks ago and I have seen only few episodes from the first season. I think that the error I was talking about was in the first or second episode. I think it was in some part where Jake fought Huntsgirl on top of some building (well, they fight on top of buildings very often actually). I don't really have time to look it up, not for the next few weeks at least.

Oh, I see then. It's a really nice show, but unfortunately, Disney ruined it a little with the massive graphic overhaul in season 2, and then decided to cancel it because of some idiotic policy (Disney cancels shows when they get to 60 or something episodes, no matter how famous the show is, they canceled AmDrag early though). By the way, if you're interested in downloading American Dragon episodes, I know a website that has all of the episodes, downloaded for free. Just click here on the [link] All of them are around 200 MBs or so though, so they might take a while to download. If there's a problem with the download, just go ask my friend: , he's the one running the site.

Oh, I suppose that I was way too slow and took it for granted that it is on the web. Well, I managed to download the first season before that sopa thing, and that is good enough for me anyway.

I didn't like how the wings turned out on this one though. But the rest was rather fun to make. I got to practice quite a lot here.

So both of us share the same show that made our childhood. I wish I could still watch it. It's not in Disney Asia anymore. T_T

It's still on youtube I think (each episode chopped up into several parts). Though I doubt the entire series is there.... I also HOPE the series is still there...
