Based on a dragon character of mine. He's an Ancient, so he is massive, and he is one nasty bugger. Hence the huge grin with big teeth. If you ever see him, run in the opposite direction as fast as you can O_o

This was really just a practice picture. I have never tried doing a picture with a ballpoint pen before. I was extremely bored when I decided to start this, so stupid me, who has very little patience for doing fine detail, decided to make it as complicated and as detailed as possible. It absolutely killed my hand, because I decided to colour in every single tiny little scale...gah! But it was very successful, because it came out pretty well for being my first ink picture, and I actually perservered and finished it!

By the way, that white strip on his neck is not bone. Thats just impractical. It's exposed cartilage, very flexible, and is really just there for the hornlets to grow from. And sorry about the terrible picture quality. The camera picked the best time to not cooperate, so I had to clean it up a little...

i hate that too, when doing all the scales on dragons it just kills your hand10
