"Dragon Whiskers" by Deanna Cathcart

This is a beautiful dragon...

I love the shape of the dragon's head! What does he use these long things for? Can he feel with them like insects do? I'm just curious!

I love the design of the dragon and the color..the way he just seems to be dipping in to say hello. The only critique I could give is that the eye looks a little more like hard plastic than a translucent reflective surface..the light doesn't seem to be shining through it, almost like it would through a round jewel, lighter away from the light source with the initial light reflecting on the side of the source. I don't think that made ANY sense at all. Blargh. (I took mine too far in my particular dragon eye and it's Too hard of a light, but the principle is there).. But ANYway.. this is a truly beautiful dragon - I love the way you've captured its grace..it looks like a fierce creature but also seems to possess wisdom.

He's wonderful Deanna and I love the expression you have caught in his face. His eye looks fine to me but you can alter the type of shine, by using a large air-brush set at 30% first and then the normal brush set small and 100% to create a bright light in the centre. The hard bright light in the middle make the shine look wet.

Well, this Dragon will certainly be able to find it's way through a dark forest...

Wow! That's reeeeally cool! The whiskers too ^_^! Keep up the Grrrreat work!

You are a great artist. you should stick to drawing dragons

Nice dragon! I like this style, with such a little touch of comic likeness.

Nice dragon! The wiskers are great! Don't see too many pictures of dragons who have wiskers. Very cool!

Love this and the dialogue was hilarious! Great sense of depth
