Dragon of Elements - Air

Dragon of Elements - Air by Stratadrake
Description
Description
Enter the fifth dragon in my elemental series: Air, in her fourth and possibly final incarnation. It is no coincidence, no mistake, that she should so closely resemble one of my Sky Dragons with her sharp beak and talons, her feathered pelt, her swallowtail and unique split-wing design -- for it is said that she actually created the race of Sky Dragons after her own form.
Air is obviously one of the most important elements for life, since all creatures breathe air (even fish are understood to require some measure of air dissolved into the water they breathe). Air rules not only the nitrogen mixture that comprises the world's atmosphere but also the other gases and vapors, particularly water vapor from which weather patterns arise.
The next element on my list? Electricity (v4.0), also called lightning or thunder.
Medium: Colored pencils
Time: About 4~5 hours
Scale (full view): 75px/in

Wow, you've got style... and you know, I think it reminds me of Griffin out of FF9. This is deffinitely a dragon, though, having four walking limbs besides the wings!Check out my work if you ever have the time...

how unique, its a dragon with a bird like figure, I like how your dragons clearly represent their elements, the wings look very strong, and the design is very nice too, nice colors as well *adds to favs* well done ^_^Heatherenie on May 2, 2005, 12:04:53 PM

this guy looks like he really knows how to fly! but he doesn't look like he could overcome any of the other dragons. I guess his only chance of survival is flying super fast because of how light he looks, and probably is. and maybe his talons could help, but if i were him i would depend mainly on my good O buddy THUNDER! otherwise i would be dead!Darkdust_cookie on April 25, 2005, 2:01:44 AM
WOW that is a stunning pic I really like the element air
and the coloring is great but I agree with KFelidae, the eyes actually do seem slightly too high in the head.
But anyways great pic

I like the coloring (again)and the crest is ver beautiful but how would she fly with wings like that? They should be longer (since this looks like an eagel, I'm going off of an eagle's wingspan) And the split design is pretty, but I don't think that would be effective in flight...Nice job overal though!
