I actually got the body design for this pic because my eyesight is so bad! I was browsing on Elfwood and saw a thumbnail of a dragon pic on somebody's page, which, with my crappy eyesight, looked like this. (Yes, the actual pic was a typical European style dragon with arms and legs, so no, I'm not copying!) Anyway, I wanted to do a picture the was stylized and realistic at the same time. I like the hint of Yin and Yang here, kind of a creation-type theme. Medium: Prismacolor pencils on Bristol board.

This is the first of my pictures that got any major commentary, so I'm leaving it for now out of nostalgia.

I want to be able to color like you. I have been doing black and white line art for years, but color is still new to me.

WOW this is like one of the strangest things I have seen, BUT I LOVE IT. I like the purple one. I almost see her(I think it is the she) as being kinda shy about the whole thing. I love how they are kinda swirling around each other. I absolutely love it. The only thing is, is that I can't figure out where their body ends up. OH WAIT I SEE IT!!!!!! lol. Sorry. Just ignore me.
