Description
Magpie is probably one of my oldest characters. As a child I guess I could even say that Magpie was my imaginary friend.
I was looking at the various pictures on my bedroom walls (my walls are literally covered from floor to ceiling) as I am one to do when I need inspiration. The way it works is that I draw something, it goes on my wall, and as I go on I sometimes pick things to re-draw and occasionally this means that a character gets a complete tune up or new design, the new image replaces the old one and so on.
This was the one I picked a few days ago.
A very, very old and really very badly drawn picture of my absolute favorite and first serious dragon character.

Magpie needed re-designing. His old self was incredibly ugly. Funnily enough i never imagined him ugly and therefore I figure the old picture was an inaccurate representation and he deserved a new one.

This is what happened.
Some characteristics are the same. Th ear ring for example, and the feathers on his head and chest. I even kept the horns based on the same design and he had always had feathered wings so that was essential.

The old picture had no legs or tail, so I had a bit of a play with those. Remember days when you couldn't draw paws or claws so you conveniently left them out? ;3

So here is Magpie all shiny and new!

Here's a request for anyone that fancies a bit of a lark - If you had an imaginary friend when you were little, draw them! And if you didn't, make one up?

Why not, eh?

Done in Open canvas. I can't remember exactly how long it took because it was done in bits over a few days. =/

Design is mine. Please don't re-use or distribute this as your own. No one likes an art thief.
