Hey guys. I had a crazy dream. This is my try to recreate one piece that I think is worth recreating. There was a small yellow dragon in my dream who needed my help. To cut the story short, I am now very inspired by this dream and I will try to remake this dragon real as much as I can. I even found time to spare to do this project.

First I will do art work of this dragon, and later I will make the model, animate it, and so on. Now, I have posted picture similar to this one that I will post here, in the sketch, I explained as much as I could in 250 chars that I need opinions on a looks, general shape of the dragon and a name. I will post here better picture and newer one also, and the reason, well... to get faster reviews.

So... the posted sketch is about 6hrs of work. And this is like almost double that, like 10hrs or so. So absolutely all C&C are welcome, because I need to learn how to draw. So, what do you think of this sketch? Please do remember that I didn't finish it, and I need help regarding the paws, or hands and feet on her. Also, tell me if you have any idea of yours on how to improve her.

Thanks
Cheers

I have searched on the internet for some guides, and made some corrections on Erica. These are big changes since I had to consider the tolerance of the body parts, but then again I have my imagination so I combined those two and here is what I've done.

P.S. Please comment my work, good or bad I don't mind. I feel like no one is looking in open discussion.

Thanks.
Cheers

Ok, new update. This time some great changes in anatomy, so I edited like everything. From feet, tail, hand to wings. I had to include static stability in that pose so I turned her a bit. Left hand is a bit sloppy but I will attend to it later. Right now I am editing left wing. As you can see I deleted the right wing so I can just copy it when I'm done. Add double horn between her nostrils, and that's about it.

Any comments, please write.

P.S. I suppose this sketch will be finished by the end of the week. Then I suppose few days of coloring and then I'm gonna make 3D model.

This is one of my final sketches. I won't bore you with details, you can see the difference between last and current stage.

So there you go, I need to finish some more details and copy another wing and arm and thats it. Post comments if you have some.

P.S. Only one thing I need to say and I think I forgot, and that is that my full painting of this dragon will be 12 or more mpix (3000x4000).

This is my final sketch, I have tried my best to capture her image from my dreams and still make her look like a real dragon. Now I paint her.

P.S. I will still edit this sketch some more because I don't like it.

Cheers.

Here is how it would look so far. So yellow-red coating and some background. It still needs a lot of shading, shadowing and textures. So, here is colored version. Enjoy.

P.S. This is smaller picture just because its too big to upload

Cheers
