This is Arctorios, a silver dragon. I put him in both his original form and his human form. You can tell by the green eyes its one and the same person :P He likes to dress elegant in his human form so I made him look a bit dandy.

You can read about him at D. Paoletti's Wyvern library, so I will not say much about him here.

The Link of his library can be found on my main page at the friendlist.

Just beautiful Sky! I like everything about this picture, and I certainly want to read the story after seeing this excellent illustration. If the story is even half as good as your picture I am sure I will like it!

:-) Sky van Niekerk replies: "oh yes it is! but start with the first part. it builds up quite nice 2 I must say I got influenced by you to draw a dragon again 14 "

I love that dragon. So cool

:-) Sky van Niekerk replies: "thank you! I thought he might be a bit too simple^^"

Ah ha! So there he is 1
It’s indeed an awesome piece for an awesome character, I especially love your work on his clothes and the ornaments on them. His dragon form came out very good as well, particularly on the area of his head and the braid shaped horns which I’ve REALLY loved!

Wonderful job Sky! 18


:-) Sky van Niekerk replies: "thnx^^ It was fun to do this dragon I must say. pretty quick piece at that. glad you like it 2"

Lovely pic, his outfit is great. I like how you captured the light and shadow on this piece. The colors are beautiful and the dragon came out amazing, very nice Sky! 12

:-) Sky van Niekerk replies: "thnx I’m glad you like it 2 the clothes detail took some time so its great people appreciate it 14"

Excellent coloring, again. His eyes do seem to be a wee bit high up on his face, but other than that, this piece is perfect!

:-) Sky van Niekerk replies: "Thanks! I’ll keep it in mind 2 maybe I’ll get the time to fix it^^"

Just gorgeous...I always love the dragon/human combo. His color scheme is fantastic - dragons like riches, so it’s awesome that he would enjoy dressing fancy. Very cool character, hope to see more!

:-) Sky van Niekerk replies: "thank you 2 well, maybe I will redraw him sometime ^^"
