Description long due character trade with *maria-mar ! she gave me 'horns, claws, dragons, shelties/collies, and blue merle' as a prompt, so I made her a blue merle colliedragon! Gender, personality and details are all up to you, though I got a goofy, silly kind of vibe from him/her as I was drawing.

OMG! This i wasn't expecting
He's the most lovable, sweetheart, fluffy creature i've ever seen! (I say he cause i think i'm receiving male vibes here xD)
I'm totally imagining him walking in a clumsy way, somehow like Joanna in The Rescuers, trying to fly but only jumping and flaping his wings... With a silly but oh-so-adorable look in his face... oh i gotta make him a little kid friend!! I can see a kid riding his back and throwing sticks for him to catch

Ok imagination, stop now! Too much to put in paper xD

So. This is great!... I love the design, the body built, the colors... but especially how amazingly expressive his face is! I just wanna grab him a give him a biiig hug!...

Thanks so much this unique character
I'm going to have loads of fun with him!
Oh if you have any name suggestion please say so, you are his mum after all ^_^

OH and if you have an email address to give me (you can note me if you'd rather it were kept private) I can email you the larger version of this. I deliberately made it smaller for upload purposes.

swift-whippet In reply to maria-mar [2009-11-17 07:01:32 +0000 UTC]

eeeeeee that makes me giddy-happy that he inspires you so! (I got male vibes while I was drawing him, too, though I didn't start out meaning to make him male -- guess he just wanted to be that way!)

sweetie, his uniqueness is largely owed to the parts you gave me to work with, and I had a lot of fun putting them together. I would be THRILLED to see you draw him, and what a great idea to give him a kid friend to pal around with! I look forward to his further adventures.

For some reason he seemed to want to have an H-name, like Harold or Hector. *shrugs* characters are odd.

Ahah well it's seems like this guy sure has a lot of character, all the ideas i had came directly from him, and you state the same!... That's going into his personality
I am really thrilled with the idea of give him a friend and making a series of illustrations about them too!... I can even see their story in a book, as he now reminded me of "Etrange Animal" by Marlène Jobert, a beautiful story with amazing illustrations, i couldn't find any on google but i can put it on the scanner and show you.
Hmmm "H" names... i love it, i'll make some reaserch!

I'll scan it and send in your e-mail, only problem is it's in portuguese
But you still get to see the beautiful illustrations ^_^

This is just too cool... only way to make it better would be to have it a borzoi *laughs* or a border collie but that's a whole diffent story

swift-whippet In reply to Nightwolfemp [2009-11-17 06:45:30 +0000 UTC]

thank you!

I think this character is just fine as he is, there is no need to say he would be made 'better' as a BC or a borzie. He is what he is. if you want to make your own BC or borzoi character based on a dragon you're welcome to, but this character is exactly what he's supposed to be.

Nightwolfemp In reply to swift-whippet [2009-11-17 22:50:03 +0000 UTC]

It wasn't an insult to the character. Sorry that it seemed to come out that way. I have a bad problem of things not coming out how I mean them to.

Lovely character... awsome character and sorry to seem to insult him.

Nah, it's okay. I tend to pick at people over how they word things and I know that gets annoying too. I'm definitely not offended, and I'm sorry if I offended you.

Aaaah, collie dragon! That whole character trade concept sounds so interesting, I need to ask my friends to give me prompts like that sometime I love the whole canine atmosphere it has, especially the poses XD I doubt you'd see a reptilian dragon acting like that.
For some reason I really really love how you carried the spot pattern into the wings, that's a nice touch The shades of blue also work really nicely together.
You should have drawn it in flight

swift-whippet In reply to Tempestspirit [2009-11-17 04:50:26 +0000 UTC]

hello m'love! and yes it was interesting to me as well, I mean to ask for those more often. maybe you and I could do one sometime.

yeah, that was an afterthought but I love how it came out. and I actually have a lot of trouble believing that thing could actually fly. >.>; I feel like I should have made the wings bigger! xD;

Tempestspirit In reply to swift-whippet [2009-11-17 04:53:14 +0000 UTC]

Hello! Haha, perhaps sometime! It would be really interesting to see what you'd come up with
I kind of had similar worries, but I kept quiet because I thought you were going for that, because its a slightly toony style XD So I guess it works well with it? But yeah, up to you I guess the focus here really was more on design, anyway, so don't worry about it XD

it really is a hilarious mental image, the idea of him flapping away and not being able to lift off the ground more than a little bit. xD

and yeah, I figured Maria could do what she wanted with him (really does feel more like a him) later!

thanks hun. I'll have to talk more about such a trade with you laters!

hee, I would too. instead of eating sheep it would herd them and you could probably ride around on them if they were big enough.

thanks!
