Description AT LONG LAST it uploads v_v During my no internet and no art pencils time, I've been doing various things... including this. Coloring with a mouse and a trackpad. xD And then trying to figure out how to make it smaller because it was utterly massive and dA was dying when I tried to upload it. Lol!

This is my Elemental dragon, a species created by metal-beak , an amazing person who also did the beautiful, amazing, spectacular lines. <3 Her elemental dragons can be found here .

I'll be using Zaon in BTACD as a regular old ancient western, thus the BTACDian history. I absolutely love his design, and hope I did good with colors; both for his dev-version and his BTACD-version. His story's pretty long, and I hope to enter him in soon - but first, I suppose I'll have to do Stroen'na's map and information, haha! Giant floating skycities ftw.

I only had the female psd saved to my comp, so I had to get a bit creative when I added the male features in; because of this he has less horns, backward-facing horns and a shorter feathery crest. I do think it makes him look unique, however, and I've really fallen in love with his design. (:

Thank you Mets! <3

I basically looked at this and went COLOR. 

I was overwhelmed by the pretty. He looks kinda tribal to me. Wouldn't it be kinda neat if there was a type of Albronelian art that showcased the dragons and such in that fashion? Heh.

Tribal art? Ooh. o:

I've always thought the dragons' art would be very greek and roman-ish - hyperealistic and a lot of contrast, with brilliant use of colors. Dragons are perfectionists, after all. xD When Verri arts, she's way pickier than I am. 

Mayhaps the xeriin have a very tribal style of artwork? I think it would fit them well. (:

: D YAY

I was hoping you'd like him xD I was originally gonna just make the female ref a test color run, but then I ended up spending three hours on it and decided I couldn't let it all go to waste, lol. So I improvised. Do the male features look pixelated at all to you? D;

Now I just need to give him loves IC <3

No, the male parts look perfectly fine to me! And I love how you mixed the male and female parts together too.
