This began as a randomly-drawn wavy line that I scribbled across a page one day. Then I added the head, body, and wings. It looks to me like a dragon air elemental or something...or maybe it's just a strange draconic creature...

Prisma pencils and an ink pen, Feb. 8, 2003.

I like this actually. The dragon reminds me of a water element mostly because of the heads almost fishlike appearance. It reminds me of a goldfish... not the chunky kind. But the kind you usually stick in ponds. very pretty. I hope more detailed dragons such as this come out!

:-) Krystal Tyler replies: "Yeah, it does look watery... Hmmm... *wonders how she could make it more air-like* Maybe if I made it less goldfish-like? ~.^ At any rate, thanks for the comment! This turned out much better than I thought it would, so you can guarantee I'll do more!"

:-) Krystal Tyler replies: "Yea, scaley feathers! More happy accidents! ^.^ Thank you!"

Because its wings are so small they look like fins u should try to and some big wings to and to make its head less fish like... I dun care if u listen to my advice i luv it anyway ;-]

:-) Krystal Tyler replies: "Glad you like it! :-] I do big wings on other dragony critters, so I opted for something different with this one. And his head isn't supposed to look fish-like, but I guess I need to work on that. 10"

It looks like Oroborus, a snakelike creature with its tail in its mouth. Mountain folk used to call them "hoop snakes." It was said that they ambushed people in the mountains. But how does it get rid of waste, and how does it reproduce?

:-) Krystal Tyler replies: "Well, this one doesn't have its tail in its mouth. 10 Laying aside for a moment that they aren't real critters, how could they even ambush people with their tails in their mouths? (Maybe they're '80s critters who attack people by imitating hoola hoops... *grin* )"

Oooh its neeto. I like the squigly-line-ness of it. Intentional, it seems.

wow! that is totally awesome! it’s so perfect and very snake like, but i think that it looks more like a water dragon. but there is absolutly no critic on that one. absolutely stunning. one question though, did you copy this because it looks so perfect that i don’t know if i would even beleive you if you said that it was free hand and un-copied!
