After-work Snacks

A couple more of finished dragony pieces. Basically, I came home straight from work to finish them (a great way to relax, by the way).

Hummy, colored with a background. I didn't want to get as crazy with the background as with the one below- Hummy needed to be the star. ;) I'm really happy with the way he turned out- he looks so much more lively than just as a sketch. ^_^

The colored sketch of Early-Morning Skarrgle. I was debating on putting in a window above the coffee table, but I still wanted the cavern feel (since he is a dragon after all). I'm still wondering if I left the shadows too dark. Hm...

Finished Flyin' Wally

I just finished him tonight, and I thought I'd put him up. ^_^

I like the addition of the flower- it's from a photo I'd taken on my trip up north- but I think it might compete with Wally too much. I tried to lessen the effect by lowering the opacity, but, I'm still not sure. I think it's more the color than the actual shape. I might fiddle with it later.

Dragons of the North

I recently took a trip upstate to visit my Grandparents, and of course, my sketchbook went with me. I didn't draw too much- I spent most of the time either with my Grandmother or traveling around up there.

I drew this fella sitting on the couch in my Grandmother's living room. She liked him. :D I've christened him "Gilbert", for whatever reason. XD

My Grandmother loves hummingbirds, and they do attract a lot of them up there to their feeder. I'd been thinking about doing a little dragon based on a hummingbird for a day or two beforehand, but this seemed like the perfect time to do it. She thought this one was cute, too.

I sketched this one after getting home, but the idea originated while I was up north-a dragon whose body shape is based on that of an Owl. I suppose this guy seems more like a baby, rather than a mature adult, because I made his eyes so huge. But he's so adorable. :D His tentative name's "Ollie", by the way.

Mood Paintings...

A couple more "moody" pieces based on some thumbnails from a past project. I might do some more... 'cause playing with random shapes n' colors is fun. ^_^ The top is "Hopelessness" and the bottom is another "Solitude".

A Couple More in the Works...

Here's a couple more dragon sketches that I plan to colorize in Photoshop at some point.

Another (fairly rough yet) sketch of Wally, this time in flight. I've actually got him inked and he's currently waiting in the sketchbook to be scanned in.

An anthropormorphized Skarrgle, with a mug o' joe and newspaper. I'm not really sure where this came from- the image just popped into my head and I decided to go with it.
