Dragons of Elements, v2.0 - #1 (2000)

Dating back from sometime mid-2000 comes a reworking of my eight elemental dragons. Shown here are the second versions for fire, ice, water, and earth.

Compared with the other dragons I drew during that time, these dragons had the thickest wing structure and largest tailspade designs ever -- a point which I only enunciated as I grew in skill. Compare these to my latest dragons and you'll notice how my latest dragons have even larger and more complex tail designs than these.

I later drew third versions for the ice and water dragons, but as for the fire and earth dragons, this drawing is shows their latest versions yet.
