My main character of the stories in my head: Changewinds, the sea blue dragon. This was an experiment using some blue calligraphic ink. It's probably going to be only one of a few pics of dragons in general and Changewinds in particular.

Very nice pic, one of the better dragon pics Ive come across....those toes ARE fun to draw 12

I love how the wings just kind of drop and fade away... and of course the pose is wonderful too, not to mention the determined look.

Dude... she looks ready to leap up and pounce on something... hehehe. As said before, the wings are very unique -- haven't seen that sort before -- but I particularly like how you've used the colours for the texture of her scales. Very very creative, awesome!

I like how you did its feet. Its like the old style way of drawing dragon feet.

My favorite part on this is actually his wings. They look very fluid - an effect I find difficult to do myself. They look soft as well - very nice.

_Her_ wings. 2 Yes, they are very nice. Kinda like a pair of windsails on a boat or sommat, yes? I like the expression you captured in the face, very...like annoyed/almost ready to take a swipe at some offender. Those claws look very sharp, yep. Belly scales are spiffy, though the thought that popped into my head was if she's a seadragon, shouldn't the belly scales face towards the tail to give a little more streamlined body? Er, well that's just a minor detail. That and the invisible right hind leg. 12 Don't worry about it, this picture is wonderful. Mayhap you and I can do a pic trade sometime, if I ever get through all the pictures I'm supposed to draw.... O.ox;

:-) Alice Hsieh (Changewinds) replies: "Hehe, another minor correction, sea blue is the color, she's not a sea dragon really, just occasionally likes to float on the waves, her scales looking like sunlight off water, so she blends in rather well."

I fear I have to echo the hysterical comment about her toes. Those talons are great. I'm abysmal at dragon .. feet? paws? myself. Arg. 10 They always look so completely dorky. You did a fabulous job with her neck and belly plates, too, the way they overlap with the outward-jutting bits.

Oh, she's lovely! The color choices are exquisite, and I'm particularly drawn to those belly scales. Well done!

I do like her expression, its perfect, i dont konw if u meantto have her looking kind of funny too, but shes cute even though shes grimancing,. Really nice, i love dragons.

:-) Alice Hsieh (Changewinds) replies: "Hehe, I do believe you're right. Dragons with potbellies aren't meant to be completely serious."

I really like her!! Looks like you have neat stories in your head! (I need to draw Nycteris sometime) I like all of the same things everyone else liked though - the belly scales, and the toes, and the colors.. Neat neat neat!
