The Akvodrako (water drako), like the Fajrodrako (fire drake), is a creature in the Adventure Quest tabletop RPG on campus. It's one of the four elemental drakos in the game. (Drakos are smaller versions of the dragon, though I don't think dragons in the game are restricted by element.) Akvodrakos mostly hang out in the water, though they are more than capable of flight.

Done on 18 lb. Canson marker paper with marker over colored pencil, July 2004.

i love the flowing of the colors(again)10i really like the way they flow on the scales.... the feet are not really something that i love but i think they came out really well

:-) Krystal Tyler replies: "Thank you! :-] Yeah, I had particular trouble with the back feet (stupid me starting the dragon too far to the left).... Oh, well. I'll try to do better next time."

Beautiful use of colors! I am a fan of the "cool" color palette and prefer it to the "warmer" cousin. I have made my own attempts to create winged animals but my concept of the anatomy must be innately flawed 8. Kudos to you! Beautiful job

:-) Krystal Tyler replies: "I like the cooler colors as well. Hey, it's okay. If something isn't viewed from the side or close to the side, my knowledge of anatomy verges on the edge of nonexistence! ;-] Thank you!"

Wow, those scales must have asked patience. Your colouring is fantastic (you have already heart this, but I had to give some extra praises).

Very nice picture! Not like I'm a great drawer or anything (well manga but..)the only thing I'm a tad 'iffy' about is the back part of it..or maybe all..but the colours seem to blend it all together..add shading on legs or darker colours to separate it visually..again I'm not great or anything..but I *think* that would help. Still a really really good picture along with most of your other work.
