Description ~~~

...OOOOOOOORF!!!!!!!!!!!!...

*ahem*

So... We go from colossal dragons to miniature dragons. 83

Yeah, Orf is very tiny - and he very much has 'small man syndrome', poor little fellow.

*Pierce sees Orf curled around Kristof's shoulders and he walks up to him*
"Aw, what a cute little dragon!--"
\"HHIIISSSSSSSSSSSSA;DKJF;JA;KJDFIAJD;KFJ;AKJD;FKAJD;JF;J;AJ;K!!!~~~\"
*wets self*
*Kristof laughs*

It's also really funny, because the first commander my Crusaders are with (George...he's minor...no one knows about him...his ref won't come 'til way later...) has a huge dragon (Rael...also huge...not as huge as Shadow, though...just about double Idracil's size, though...still not as huge as Shadow...nothing is as huge as Shadow... :3 ... ) and Orf has to prove himself that he is so much more awesome and tough and bigger than Rael...even though he could most likely find nice refuge in Rael's nostril... (I almost said 'armpit', ftw?)

And gosh, Orf is so delicate! He's all nice and shiny and smooth - he has fishy scales that are all nice and shimmery. ^^

Enjoy!
Art/Char (c) me.
Rippers will be nuked and swiftly disposed of.

He's cute. But his eye looks very determined (must be a trap! ). It looks like anyone who tried a sneak attack from behind could be skewered pretty easily, though.

He has a serious case of 'small dragon syndrome'! The knights have to refer to him as 'the mighty, powerful dragon' or else they're put at risk for a flogging of teeth and claws!

N'aww, he's a real cutie~
I love, LOVE how you drew his wing.
Folded wings always get me because they're so strange to draw. >_<;
You must teach me how to draw folded wings. @_@;

TwilightSaint In reply to Vempyremon [2009-12-09 21:32:42 +0000 UTC]

He is if you give him treats!
Ha-ha, thanks! I was debating whether to fold his wing or not on account of seeing his whole body... But it's pretty easy to tell what kind of draggie he is.
I can! I can post a wing tutorial if you'd like.

oh boy, another one! I really dig these. I also just figured out that person is your watermark (i'm dense, leave me be) I love the design: simple-ish but appealing!! <3 I love the texture, man. you make me want to shade my refsheets :C

TwilightSaint In reply to Shinerai [2009-12-03 03:18:14 +0000 UTC]

I'm having a lot of fun with them, and I'm finally finding time to finish them up and post them! (Lol, it's okay. ^^ It's on all my pics.)
He's still a Western dragon, so I like my dragons to stay on the traditional/realistic side. My Eastern dragons, too. (My Middle Eastern dragons are a pretty mix between Westies and Easties, lol. Their my Measties. )
Simple scale texture ahoy! I'll definitely be using the technique for a couple other of my Westies when I do their refs. ^^ And ha-ha, sorry! Your refsheets are always amazing, man. I just saw your new Shin ref and it's brilliant.

Shinerai In reply to TwilightSaint [2009-12-03 23:31:15 +0000 UTC]

XD even if it's simple, it adds a nice effect. that sounds interesting, I hope to see some refs of your measties <3

thanks so much ;A; . . . i love refs ._.

TwilightSaint In reply to Shinerai [2009-12-04 21:54:55 +0000 UTC]

Ah, yes.
Here's one of my Measties - the only one I have up - I showed you before: [link] Juban, ha-ha. I have a couple more I want to ref, but they might be a bit - I want to finish my main characters first.

You're welcome! All of your work is amazing, of course. ^^ And yes, me too!

He would be very upset and hiss and bite at you - similar to a small terrier.

Nice job, and the teture of the dragon is quite good! Any tips if I wanted to do something like that?

TwilightSaint In reply to B00kworm101 [2009-12-02 06:59:36 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!

I actually did his scales with a PS brush - under the Brush menu, go to Pen Pressure and there's a brush called 'Scale' - kind of looks like a crescent. Then, go to your Brush Options and adjust the Scatter and Spacing until you can run the brush along the object so it creates a scaly/meshy look. ^^ I'm a master at tweaking brushes to do fun things.
I did two layers - dark scales and light scales. Dark scales go on a layer under the highlights and over the base shadows, and light scales (these are usually smaller to make them look shiny) go over the highlights and everything.

B00kworm101 In reply to TwilightSaint [2009-12-02 08:19:59 +0000 UTC]

Nice!
I don't own PS but I do own GIMP which works for me. I also can understand how to possibly do this on GIMP so there is no need to get PS. The only other thing that would be missing is a tablet, which could make things easier, if I continue wanting to make digital art. Mousing is hard to do for me.

TwilightSaint In reply to B00kworm101 [2009-12-03 03:09:48 +0000 UTC]

Ah, yeah. I always recommend picking up a tablet. I have a Wacom Bamboo Fun - comes with PS Elements and Corel Essentials - great starter pack. ^^
