Description
For my latest inspiration, I choose to make completely new designs for the elemental dragons that I originally drew back in 2000 but uploaded to my gallery only recently.
There is a bit of backstory behind my elemental dragons in general, but I'll summarize: These are not ordinary dragons. In a fantasy world ruled by eight spiritual beings (each one representing one element), the eight elemental dragons were created as avatars -- physical forms for the ruling elements to occupy, refashioned from the bodies of fallen white dragons and combined with the pure power of each respective element.
So, meet the third (and possibly final) design for the fire element, by far more impressive than the last time I drew any of my elemental dragons. Are those scales or actual flames decorating his body? I won't tell, but feel free to speculate.
One down, seven to go...
Next element: Ice (v4.0)
Medium: Colored pencil
Time: About four hours
Scale (full view): 75px/in

Wow. That's really cool. =) I'm always drawing dragons, but I feel that I'm not getting the right image that I want... Maybe I should just add color and work harder. ^__^ Good job!Triarii on June 20, 2006, 12:04:28 AM

Nice... The flame scale effects are great. I must also compliment you once again on your style, which makes your dragon look impressive rather than merely monsterous.Moonlightelf on February 2, 2006, 2:47:33 AM
