Description
~~~And in the early morning hours, Haladin mounted his dragon Juban for a lonely flight over the barren, coastal landscape, the general making his last-minute plans to attack and lay seige to the port city of Acre.
He knew that the city would be an important holding place for the Jihad against the Crusaders, and that another, though smaller, Crusader army was rumoured to have possession of a strong white dragon...
He did not know, however, that this morning would be his and Juban's last together...
I told you I'd do a sunrise scene with Hal and Juban. I TOLD YOU.
Teehee. Only took about an hour. `w` So did the other one...with Thom and Idracil. Silly fast. X3 (These meds are making me silly, wheeeeeeee~~~ )
Yeeeaaaaap. And after Hal takes his little morning flight and moves his army to Acre, Thomas and Idracil show up and send his sandy butt into the dirt. Hal is such a cocky individual. He needs a good beating every once in a while. ^^
Aaand, if you follow/know any other parts of my epic about this all, you'll also know that this is their last morning together because, during the seige, Juban is killed by Idracil and Haladin is captured by the knights. *serious nod*

Also shading/pose practice. I wanted a scene flying in front of them, but it was kind of tricky to squeeze Hal in there. Oh, well. Their size ratio is much closer. I've gotten better at that. >.< (My riders used to be so tiny on their dragonic mounts! My dragons simply aren't that huge! ... Save for Shadow, but...y'know.
And lookies! Stars! owo Just goes to show how early Hal got up for once.
All comments are welcome!
Enjoy!

I'll give him ice cream, then! No one can be mean when they're eating ice cream.

Juban can get special M.Eastern spicy ice cream. NO. JUJUBEE FLAVOURED ICE CREAM.

You might want a friendlier dragon - Juban is very irritable!

Noo! Juban can't die! He's so cute..For a mean, killing dragon, anyway.
Pink mountains FTW. I love the serenity of these sunrises. And I still want to tug on Juban's whiskers.:3

Jubaaaaan. ;-;
YES PINK MOUNTAINS. :0 I love working with them! Ha-ha, my mountain/sunrise/sunset powass! *hurrlightningbolt*
If you tug on his whiskers...he'll eat you! Then who will I drag to the desert with to blend in Jerusalem?!

One hour. O.O How do people do that?
Heh, you're being much more productive in your post-wisdom-teeth time than I was. XD I just kinda sat in bed and played games all day...

Several, my friend. Several. When your times to work come so sparingly as they do to me, you learn to work crazy fast!
Ha-ha, I'm trying to make up for time when I can't draw! XD And yeah, a sore, swollen face is a great way to chill and make art. :3

Zeimyth In reply to TwilightSaint [2010-02-16 15:32:35 +0000 UTC]
Heh, a lack of time to draw doesn't make me faster. I just get used to doing one drawing in 6 or 7 (or more) sittings. XD Which is probably why I tend to lose interest in some pictures...
There's probably enough of that right now, huh? I remember sleeping a lot right after getting my wisdom teeth out. XD It's hard to draw when you're falling asleep at your computer, I bet. O.O
Though, it probably doesn't help that I didn't do any art until a good year or so after my wisdom teeth came out...
