cartoons and mystic beasties

[Draconianspirit]

I'm going to be showing off some of my work here. I thought I made this thread already but apparently it's not up. ^^; So yea. Anywho, I'm going to school for cartoon animation and illustration. I'll have some pictures up soon...

[Draconianspirit]

a really scrappy crappy pic because I can't find anything else to put in right now that meets the requirements.

[Draconianspirit]

this is a really old dragon I drew, I've improved since. Still trying to find some decent pictures to put up. I use photoshop a lot, and none of those files have been able to be posted. So it looks like I'm gonna have to do sketches in ms paint to be able to post anythin.

[Draconianspirit]

Here is all of my pictures on one spot. ^^ Please check em out I like to improve and if you got any feedback lemme know.

Anyone who wants to draw a dragon I'd love to see it.

[Cyberdevil]

Woo, the dragon looks pretty amazing, so detailed, and in a unique pose too . . .

[Draconianspirit]

thanks a bunch dude ^^ Appreciated.

[Draconianspirit]

I had to drasticlly resize this....

this is probably the worse dragon I've drawn thus far, just because it's all pixely and in ms paint. but yeah...I was working on head poses. The one facing forward aint that great, but the others arnt too bad.

These were the first sketches that were done for an online browser game that will be known as Dragon breeding. I was asked by a german programmer to do the dragon designs. This was just the playing around section for the fire dragon.

I'm open for suggestions.

If you havnt seen this already check it out. : It's all my drawings on one site. click here

this one took me forever because of all the inking and it's probably the best one I've submitted on newgrounds so far. I'm guessing I've got at least a hundred scales on there.

Done with a ballpoint pen during my science class. I worked hard to get everything really symetrical.

[KittyKat87]

Oh wow, I can't even describe how amazing that dragon is. I'd never be patient enough to make something so detail. Welcome to Newgrounds. I look forward to see more of your work.

[Draconianspirit]

the original icon I was going to use here on Newgrounds. The final picture of teh phoenix isnt quite done yet, but I took a screenshot of the head that WAS completly finished with all the effects..

Done in Adobe Photoshop (version seven) I know it's small. My apologies about that. It you want to see the entire phoenix lemme know.

[Draconianspirit]

Thanks a bunch kitty. I appreciate the welcome ^^ I hope my flash submissions will be just as good, if not better. ^^

[ERGVOT]

wow, that dragon is AWESOME. i can't believe i'm critisizing it, but you might wanna use a different face texture in the future. the face scales must have been a bitch to draw, and they really distract from the expression and other facial features. don't get me wrong though.. i still love it and i'll be waiting for more (i'm sure you don't have enough pressure already.)

[Draconianspirit]

hey not a prob dude ^^ Thanks a bunch for the critique. ^^

You are right, the scales kinda take away from everything. which is why I refrain from doing scales most times ;-) But yeah. It was a trial and error thing. I'll be sure to keep this in mind for the future

[Draconianspirit]

This isnt done but somthing else I'm working on ^^ Water/ice dragon thingy. I started coloring and doing effects on it in Photoshop. Lemme know what you think guys.

[Draconianspirit]

this is a cruddy photoshop thing I did....really all it was in the end was a practice with lightning XDD No not really mythical OR cartoon, but it's got a wierd feel to it. Voila. One of the first pics I did when I got my first wacom about a year ago.

[Draconianspirit]

Somthing I made for someone. It's one of thier wolf characters. Another scrappy crappy photoshop thang. Oh well. Don't be too hard on it.

Apart from the spine/waist and the tail looking a little off, it's a nice image goodjob.

[KittyKat87]

You continue to amaze me. I really like the Photoshop ones. Awesome, awesome work. ^_^

Much appreciated ^^ thanks a bunch.

[Draconianspirit]

A little blurred. -_-......but yeah. One of my wolf characters. His name is Ibex. I had started a comic on him and bunch of others, but it never got finished. I've been thinking about using him as my main character in my flash movies. Not sure yet.

[Draconianspirit]

Another dragon, not finished. Hopefully he will be...one day. I named him Sky Guard. I want to make him as realistic as the clouds, which is why I havnt finished it...still trying to figure out how to do that.

It was a new position and perspective for me, so I'm relativly happy for him.

[Draconianspirit]

an old dragon I did so long ago...

the wings look really funny XDD

[Draconianspirit]

somthing a bit more grim for the christmas holidays. Nothing fancy, just playiung around in photoshop.

[Draconianspirit]

i see it as your personal thread at this point...?

great stuff, you should finish that one with just a hint of shading around the eye.

[Draconianspirit]

yeah I'm not done with most of these, and yeah it's my own personal at this point, but I let the forum go under, so no one sees it anymore.

[Kajenx]

Wow, great stuff! I really like the blue wolf.

thanks a bunch dude.

and to anyone else reading, I'd be glad to do some quick sketches for you. I'm not great at humans, so if you ask for one, it may not be as good as you expect. I also do commissions for animals, so feel free to contact me if you're interested. They're really cheap, and the cost range goes from athree dollars, to 20 dollars.

I seriously wish I could be able to do that kind of detail on the scales/backgrounds just anything knowing that their are certain hours of day and without having to rush with such patience.
Man I think you can really go far with that kind of talent You should really show what you can do with animation some time.

How do get you the practice on the right time?

I'm not sure what you mean by, how do you get the practice on the right time? XDD lol. maybe if you could re-word the question...

thanks a bunch for the comment, I really appreciate it. I've worked pretty hard to get to where I am today, and I'm still not anywhere near what I wanna be XDD And yea, I'm hoping to post somthing on newgrounds soon, but I want the first submission I post to be pretty decent so that people will come back and check out my work, and not completly blam me to no end XDD

I'm going to school for cartoon animation, so I hope things work out well ^^ again thanks for the comments.

a picture I took of our road as soon as the leaves were just turning color.
