Tag As FavoriteComment		This picture is far from impressive by any means... and wasn't supposed to be either. In fact; this is the first colored picture I've done with my wicked new Wacom Intuos Graphics Table (and Painter Classic that accompanied it). I love it already, and can't wait to experiment more... About the picture then? Wanted to do a dragon, and all of a sudden he was sitting on a rock above water holding a blue ball (the Water Magic Stone). He awaits Arunden, an ambitious wizard who wants to learn the fine arts of Water Magic, thus requiring this stone. Since the Water Stone cannot be taken too far from its birthplace without losing its powers, our dragon must wait there for his master to come and relieve him from his duty. And that may be months from now.

That Dragon may be Proud, but the way he is avoiding eyecontact suggests to me that hes pi$$ed about being left behind by his master

I like how he's sorta uptight and sulking. It's great to see a dragon with some real emotion.

this is cool 2 i like the sketchiness of it, and the dragon is cute 2 his look is very protective, so serious it's almost amusing 1

cute sort of

BTW water dragon is a bit of an oxymoron as dragons while requiring sall amount of water generaly dislike like the stuff and many take up flying throuigh storms to get their water so as not to have to ingest it, so a 'water drafon' is realy a minor offshoot of the race of drakes which deal more with specific elements while dragons take up flying through storms (I said thatalready dint i)

He has a yoda-esque quality - perhaps that is just a manifestation of his inner calm, regardless however it is a truly magnificent,very funky piece

Water is beautiful. But he looks like a bobble head.

Frodo got caught and Sauron rules the world.
