Dragon of Elements - Thunder by Stratadrake

Dragon of Elements - Thunder

Description

Meet the sixth entry in my elemental dragons series, this is the dragon for electricity now in his fourth and possibly final incarnation. Considering that his previous (third) incarnation was just about perfect, I knew I'd have to do something rather crazy-go-nuts if I was going to achieve such truly stellar results as the fire and ice I started this series with. I started with. Did I? I dunno. I challenged myself to complete this one in time for Christmas, and surprisingly, I did. It's the first drawing I've completed within a single 24-hour time period in awhile.

Anyway, the element of electricity is also known as lightning and (for short) thunder, even though 'thunder' is technically a misnomer. Lightning travels easily through the water element and through the metallic ores of the earth element, and it is considered a partner and complement to the air element in such manifestations as thunderstorms.

The next and penultimate element on my list will be an unlucky seventh: Darkness. Wish me luck....

Once again, very nice work. I like how you have put the eye color purple. I never thought purple and orange would go together, but I never thought about the EYES before. I also like the wings, which would look good as a solid, but better with the design you have put into them. Very fine detail work. A+

HI man i was looking for dragons to draw and i saw urs and i read the history u used. I think ur a very very good artist

But theres something i want u to know, I was drawing a manga of dragons, its about a guy who wana become a goldem dragon, for do that he need defeat every elemental dragon. I see ur dragons thay are very good.

But i see some things are similar on our historys
Thats makes me worried

Coincidences happen, try not to worry too much. Just give the dragons your own design and that'll do.

This dragon makes the sun look dim. Wow, simply amazing. You are probably the best person at drawing dragons

That's the coolest, spikiest dragon I have ever seen and it looks realistic, too. I mean all of your drawings look realistic. The lightning bolts on the dragon's leg looks great. That's a real lightning dragon.

this one has a nice apeal to it as well, the lightning bolts add a very nice touch, and the purple eye is also really neat, the wings are very well done too the head of the dragon is very nice too *adds to favs* very well done
