Bronze-dragonrider's pics

[Ian]

Here's a few pencil sketches sent in by bronze-dragonrider. I've scaled them down slightly to make things easier for peeps with small screens and/or dialup connections.

A portrait of Charlotte Church (http://www.imsmultimedia.co.uk/Images/Bronze/CharlotteChurch.jpg)
A dragon & rider (http://www.imsmultimedia.co.uk/Images/Bronze/Dragonrider.jpg)

A watch dragon (http://www.imsmultimedia.co.uk/Images/Bronze/WatchDragon.jpg)

[Jax]

I really like the head of the dragon, told you Bronze, t'other day in chat, of the dragon and rider, and I rather like the watch dragon, I can see you've really worked hard at getting the muscle structure right, it looks really good :D I'm not much of a fan of people drawings, but it is good, and skulls are boring ;) (seen heaps of sheep ones out on farms etc and they're nothing special :D )

[Apocalypse]

Those are very well done! :good:

[Kirron]

Better than well done, they are excellent!

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Thanx very much Ian for putting these up for me. And thank you everyone else for your replies. You're very kind. Yeah skulls are kind of boring, I agree Jax. But to get muscle structure right, I need to get the skeleton right first. If anyone has any suggestions on what to change or improve, constructive criticism is very welcome. Right now I'm working on the rest of skeleton, and then onto the full dragon with muscles skin and all. Hopefully I can get it right this time :disguise:

[Bertrand]

The watch dragon was very well done :ok:

[Bamy]

the dragons are very well done though that is not how i see head knobs. i will be sending ian some of my pics soon though so you can see how i see them not that i think they are the same through all of my pictures. some are my earliest visions of how i saw annes dragons and look decidedly lizardlike rather than eqine.like the charolette church sketch. i cant draw peoples face they always look wrong.

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Thank you :) I look forward to seeing your drawings Amy B. I wasn't sure how the headknobs should be either. I got the look from the Diversity of Dragons cover. My dragons have been through many different incarnations over the past year and a half. At first when I knew nothing about what the Pernese kind should be they were like from Reign of Fire, then more Whelan like, and now I'm trying to get more accurate. I'd love to see how you imagine the head knobs ;)

[Jax]

How long have you been drawing Bronze? I know you're younger ;) but I'm amazed - truly! :D Also very jealous of course :D :razz:
I remember seeing a book when I was doing my nanny course, of a girl whose mother kept all of her drawings from when she started upwards, and this girl was a huge horse fan, and it just shows all her different tries at drawing horses as she grew older and older, it's really very impressive too, seeing what she was drawing at age 4 to ago 15... :D

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

I've been drawing since I was 2. My mom and grandparents grab any that I don't like and put them in a file, because they know if they don't get it quick it'll go in the recycling bin. (Not the garbage, I hate wasting paper)

[Wolfegar]

Very good, Bronze-D! Of those drawings the Watch Dragon is my favorite. When I showed the wifey the Dragon and Rider, which I believe you are using for your avatar, she said, "His dragons have long legs."

Well, that's what she said. She also liked your Watch Dragon.

Keep drawing! :good:

[ladyholdermara]

WOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


lol those are VERY good, wish I could draw like that :D

[DuchessPariah]

I *LOVED* the watch dragon. Amazing. :bow:

I had a couple issues with the dragon and rider picture, though they might just be ME having problems. I pictured the proportions between dragon and rider to be MUCH different. In the DLGP, the rider was TINY in comparison with the full grown dragon. So, unless the dragon is Ruth... or it was not intended to be Pernese... I have issues. ;) Because of the smallness, the legs ARE much too close together IMHO. Almost as though the dragon would trip if it tried to launch.

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

thank you everyone. And I'm honored that you liked it enough to show it to your wife, Wolf :) The Dragon and rider one is kind of an experimenting picture. I actually dislike it alot, except for the head. The reason the legs are like that is because I thought they might be something like a kangaroo because they can jump very well, and thought thats what dragons would need to get into the air. But it ended up looking overly awkward and silly. And thanx for your ideas Pariah, I always like to have input. You're right, the legs do look too close together, especially so when he is bent over sitting. The reason for his size is because I go by the feet scale, which is confirmed by Anne, instead of meters which it says in the guide. It is a very drastic change, and it did take some getting used to for me. I have another drawing in the works that you might agree with more.

[Mausey]

While looking a bit awkward (the front legs especially) the rider and dragon would be about the size of the original dragons. Many times it was said they were about the same height through the shoulders as a horse. So the proportions would be about right. The "modern" dragons of course would be much bigger.

Very well done. About the only things I can draw that are recognizable are horses heads and grain elevators. :laugh:

[Wolfegar]

*Snippys.*

Very well done. About the only things I can draw that are recognizable are horses heads and grain elevators. :laugh:
Grain elevators? Ooookaaaay! *Backs away slowly.*

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Grain elevators? Ooookaaaay! *Backs away slowly.*

:laugh:

Ooh, can we see some of your drawings, Mausey? I see lots of grain elevators around where I live, I like 'em.

I measured that dragon in at around 25 feet, the size of a modern green or very small blue. The Originals were only 12 feet. His shoulder in the pic is a bit higher than a horse's so that shows I got something wrong in translating the proportions. Thanx for pointing that out. :)

[Ian]

Here are some more pics :)

Albertosaurus (http://www.imsmultimedia.co.uk/Images/Bronze/Albertosaurus.jpg)
Bleeding Rose (http://www.imsmultimedia.co.uk/Images/Bronze/BleedingRose.jpg)
Pernese Dragon (http://www.imsmultimedia.co.uk/Images/Bronze/PerneseDragon.jpg)
Ramoth and Lessa (http://www.imsmultimedia.co.uk/Images/Bronze/RamothandLessa.jpg)

[Jax]

I like the proportions of the Ramoth and Lessa, pic! Though She is sposed to be the biggest dragon and it doesn't look like there's enough room for her to have anyone else sitting on her - Lessa looks cool too *waves back* I also like the bleeding rose, and I like your dragon better now that he's coloured! :D

[C_ris]

WOW! I love the Ramoth and Lessa pic, and i love the watchdragon one! :ok:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Well the Ramoth one is an older one I did on my computer, so its not very accurate. Far too large, un-equine, too long of a tail... but its a dragon, so I thought I'd put it on here anyway. I'm glad that you like it :)

[Apocalypse]

Do you take art at school BD-R?

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

No, but I have taken several separate art courses before. There was one teacher in particular that was like a second mother to me, she helped me massively in my progression. Unfortunately she moved away, and now I'm just trying to teach the rest to myself.

[Beisla]

Wow, your pictures are amazing! :cool:

I really like the portrait and Dragon & Rider; my favorite though is the Watchdragon. :good:

[I.L.Y.]

Wish I could too, and I'm in Drawing II at college. Just not fair. :roll:


:D :P

Wait a second isnt that pic drawn by Whelan. Its in the short story "The Girl Who Heard Dragons" Thought it looked familar. You added colour too it.

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Oops, I forgot to mention it was from that. I did NOT trace it, I drew it by myself and changed a few things on it, but that is where I got the idea for the pose.

[Ian]

Here's some more for your perusal :)

Dragonheart (http://www.imsmultimedia.co.uk/Images/Bronze/DragonHeart.jpg)

[C_ris]

Very nice!!! :ok:

[Apocalypse]

Bronze,

I LOVE the Dragonheart.... and you do great faces! :ok: I always thought loo-cows had much thicker legs than that, but I think it's a very cute pic! :heartbeat

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Thank you :) I got the idea for the dragon heart one from an illustration by Tom Kidd in 'A Gift of Dragons'. I loved the pose, so I just used this style of dragon instead.

[Jax]

Wow Bronze!! I absolutely adore the Dragonheart pic and I love the loo cow too, - and what a marvellous depiction of gollum!! I'm not much of a people art fan, but I think both are very good representations!! :D How on earth do you find the time ;)

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Well most of these I'd drawn awhile ago, I just had to rummage through my pile of drawings to find some decent ones. Only the dragon heart one is new, I did that just a few days ago. But I'd never have the patience to do all of those in a row :laugh:

[Jax]

I gotta know Bronze, how did you mirror the dragons? They look perfect!

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

hehe, I did a little computer work with that :D I started off drawing both, then realized that it would never look perfectly symmetrical hand drawn. So I just drew one, scanned it in, copied the image and flipped it, then did a little tweaking to make the tails look like they were twined instead of overlapped.

[Jax]

*oohs and aaahs appropriately* very impressive however you did it Bronze! :D

[ladyholdermara]

:D VERY good Loo Cow!!!!

[Ravien Coromana]

B-D, could i use your Pernese Dragon as my avvy on anoter site?

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

B-D, could i use your Pernese Dragon as my avvy on anoter site?

Sure thing! :ok: As long as you don't distribute it to others without asking me first, please. Thanx for wanting to use it!

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Heres one I did for Something Evil.

[Beisla]

Very nice! :good:

[Something Evil]

Looks great Bronze, thank you *bows*

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Looks great Bronze, thank you *bows*

Thanks :) If theres anything you want me to change on it or something I haven't gotten right, you can PM me.

[Elianth]

Wow, Bronze, those are excellent!

I really liked the Watch Dragon. Very nice. :ok:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Here's my first ever finnished Fire-lizard drawing - http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16447297/

[maiken]

Oooooo! I like it! :bouncy: :bouncy: I wish I could draw that well! :bow: :bow:

[Kalli]

Those are amzing images Bronze, I love your firelizard.
:bow: :ok:

[Jax]

:D Bronze, :applause: not only are your dragon and dragonet pictures wonderful, I am extremely jealous of your ability to draw hands, arms etc :roll: LOL well done.

I do have one question though, why do you put those spikes from head to tail? Does it say somewhere that they have them? I can't remember...

[Ryuu]

Heres one I did for Something Evil.oooh! now he's perrty! :ok:

Here's my first ever finnished Fire-lizard drawingThese are looking awesome! :applause:

I used to draw pretty good, but yours are fantastic!

keep up the good work :bow:

[Mayhem]

Bronze, way cool!
:ok:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Thank you :)

I do have one question though, why do you put those spikes from head to tail? Does it say somewhere that they have them? I can't remember...
If you're talking about the one I did for Something Evil, he gave me a description of a dragon he made up and it said that there were spikes from head to tail, so I followed those instructions. It wasn't meant to be pernese.

[Jax]

:confused: but Bronze, you have them on your dragons as well as the firelizard (is the firelizard what you drew for SE?)

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

oh ok. Well the ridges go from just behinf the headknobs to the base of the neck, none along the back, and start up again behind the wings to the end of the tail.

[maiken]

The firelizard is exactly as I imagined them Bronze.

As for the Ridges, I thought that Anne said that the rider was seated between the last two neck ridges? Right? or was it First two? :blush:

[Ian]

Yup, Pernese dragons definitely have neck ridges, so it's quite likely that they extend down the tail as well.

Btw Bronze, Something Evil is a girl!

[Jax]

I wish I could draw, then I'd show you what I interpret ridges as, those spikes aren't what I pictured at all!!
I think I kinda of imagined like a hardish softish gristley type ridge, like umm perhaps 20cm long with a lip - almost like a saddle....

[C_ris]

that firelizard is great! :bow:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Btw Bronze, Something Evil is a girl!
Woops, sorry SE! :blush: :sorry:

[queenrider melody]

You're my god! :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: If you could give me some tips, I'd be forever grateful. :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

You're too kind :O Well it's kind of difficult to give tips and advice online without making a tutorial. I'd never thought of doing something like that before, I just might do that :D But for now, the basic things are to draw lightly as possible at first. If you draw with hard defined edges, if there is a mistake it's impossible to erase the line completely. When starting off a drawing, use basic shapes, not doing the exact ouline of the object. Just build it up progressively, and when you get to the form that you like, erase the extra sketchy lines. And for more details, use reference! Theres absolutely nothing wrong with 'copying' from life, not everything has to come from your imagination. Every artist that I know of uses lots of reference photos to get a clearer idea of what to put on the page.

I hope these things can help out a bit for now, and if theres anything else you want, feel free to PM me :)

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

I got a request to put my dragon size charts here in the art forum, so here it is :) http://photobucket.com/albums/y178/bronze_dragonrider200/?action=view&current=DragonSizes.jpg

Here is one that Rabble asked me to do for her, it's of her RP character. I hope I got it right :O http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/17936193/

[Faren]

You are quite talented, Bronze! :bow:

[Wolfegar]

Very good, Bronze-Dragonrider!

[Jax]

Nicely done Bronze - you seem to have gotten the 'hang' of doing the clothing ;) :laugh: I crack me up!

[Jax]

Here's one I just posted on Deviantart. Can you guess which movie I was watching before I drew this?
LOL Bronzie, if I had to guess before looking at the picture I would have guessed The Incredibles in a second!! LOL turns out I was wrong though! :roll: heheh
Nice work though! I especially love the ring! :heartbeat

[Lady Faizah]

Ooh. Do you do requests Bronze? I've got one, if you do...

A dragon/rider pair. Or maybe just the rider. Or one of his firelizards? I have descriptions for all of them. (Dragon, rider, 3 firelizards)

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Jax - LOL! I'd never thought of doing Incredibles characters, I'll put that on my to do list :D

Faziah - Yes, I do requests, but I'm out of paper and led atm. I have another request from Rabble to do too, but you can send me the descriptions and I'll get to work on them as soon as I can :)

[Lady Faizah]

[Keita]

LOL! Requests just come rolling in don't they? :good:

VERY good Bronze! :good:

[Monkeysrule]

:bow: :bow: :applause: :applause: :bow: :bow:

Any advice on drawing people, especially the faces and the figures?

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Hehe, here's my first drawing of Yoda >>:D (http://www.deviantart.com/view/17531030/)<< Make sure you read the caption below it too :p

[Jax]

Very nice Bronzie!!! :ok: :applause: and funny too :laugh:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Another of Rabble's RP characters :) http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/17936270/

[Jax]

Very cool - looks kinda tall that person! :D I really like the way you do the shading Bronzie!! It's something that I'd never get right in a million years!

[pammie]

Wow, Bronze. Very, very good. :bow:

[Wolfegar]

Another very good Bronze-Dragonrider sketch.

Is it me, or do these guys look like they should sit down to a few good meals or something? Of course, I don't know how old these characters are supposed to be either.

I wish I could draw. The wifey used to but she hasn't in years.

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

:laugh: well in Rabble's description, Cantifert was supposed to be tall and thin, and Dallan was supposed to have a fragile look.

[Monkeysrule]

Advice? Please?

Very good job :bow: :bow:

[Wolfegar]

:laugh: well in Rabble's description, Cantifert was supposed to be tall and thin, and Dallan was supposed to have a fragile look.
That explains it. They really could use a few decent meals. :laugh:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Advice? Please?

Very good job :bow: :bow:
Sorry, I didn't mean to skip over your question earlier :O

Faces are one of the most complex parts of a human. Its difficult to instruct just 'how' to do it. The best thing to do is study faces and pictures, and try to duplicate them. Its always best to study from life.

But here's some rough guidelines for dimentions of faces:

looking at a head face on, a face is usually the equivelant of 5 eyes across. The size of one eye between both eyes, and also on both sides.

The eyes are roughly the midpoint of the head, between the very top and the chin.

The height of the face (between the chin and hairline, unless a person is balding) is divided into equal thirds. The nose fits in the middle third.

Between the bottom of the nose and chin is also divided into equal thirds, and the lips fit in the middle part.

The top and bottom of the ears should line up with the eyebrows and bottom of the nose.

Keep in mind that all this is subject to subtle change with variations in each person. But its just the approximate basics for a face.

[Monkeysrule]

Thank you so much!!!! :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

This one is unfinished, but I don't know when I'll be done so you can see it here >> :) (http://www.deviantart.com/view/17814736/)

That is awesome Bronzie!!! :heartbeat how is it not finished?? The thread is missing?

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

That is awesome Bronzie!!! :heartbeat how is it not finished?? The thread is missing?
Thank you :) It's not even half done. I need to add thread, a bit of smoke from the smoldering bits. The main part is the shading on the dragon, need to add shadows and some hide color variation. Once the shading is done I'll get rid of the sketchy pencil lines. Also should put a better sky background. I used a simple cloud filter in photoshop just for now.

[Green~Rider]

Ooh, I likee!! Especially the watchdragon.

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Thank you :)

My first photos I've submitted on DeviantArt -

AAaawwww :hugs:

[pern_queen_rider]

Hoy bronzie, cold draw me something? If your up to it PM me

[NeouofPern]

Don't let yourself get too backed up Bronzie. He's too nice to refuse anyone. :P

[Green~Rider]

Heehee...I was just going to request a pic.

I'd like one of how you imagine watch-whers. No pressure ;)

I like your new avatar. But I still like the old one too.

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

I like your new avatar. But I still like the old one too.
I'm working on my 'flaming dragon' pic, and I'm going to turn it from blue to bronze for an avatar :D

[Green~Rider]

Cool. Like to see it.

[Jax]

Bronzie, I love the way you've changed it for your avvie, am almost sorry to say I like it better bronze than blue!

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Can we say wow?? I think we can!!! :scared: WOW! :D

[queenrider melody]

Here is yours, Neou :D http://www.deviantart.com/view/17981371/
I have to say that this drawing really expresses the love between newly bonded dragons and riders. I have to say, I think that Todd and Anne McCaffrey should hire you to draw book cover and illistrations for Pern books. Fantastic!

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Aww, thank you! :D I've always wanted to make my own version of covers or interior illustrations, but I don't think I'm good enough to do it professionally :blush2:

[queenrider melody]

Aww, thank you! :D I've always wanted to make my own version of covers or interior illustrations, but I don't think I'm good enough to do it professionally :blush2:
If I had your talent, I'd be making a living!

[queenrider melody]

I've got an idea, why don't you make your own versions of Pern book covers and post them here?

[Monkeysrule]

Here is yours, Neou :D http://www.deviantart.com/view/17981371/
All I have to say is...
..
..
...AWWWWW!!!!! :heartbeat I love Impressions!!!

[Jax]

Very cool Bronze :D :ok: it's weird, I always imagine whers to have more of a bulldog-esque face, squashed in, ugly, but loveable :D

[Monkeysrule]

Me too, for some weird reason.

[queenrider melody]

I love it! Did you get my PM? I just wanted to make sure.

[Green~Rider]

I meant this to be just as practise because I'd never drawn a Watch Wher before, but it actually turned out well on my first try - http://www.deviantart.com/view/18011021/
Ooh, I likee!!!

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

I love it! Did you get my PM? I just wanted to make sure.
Yup, I did :D

[queenrider melody]

Were my descriptions alright? Were they too long? Not descriptive enough?

[NeouofPern]

Bronzie, don't tell me you took on another comission. Don't tell me that. I have you on time-out.

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

I need to appologize to Maiken, I'd finished this drawing for her a month ago, and just realized I haven't posted it! :blush: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/18081349/

[NeouofPern]

Purty, as usual. :P *huggles*

[Monkeysrule]

That's interesting! It looks sorta like a Pernese dragon's ancestor.

What do you mean? It says on deviantart that most nudity is accepted there, as the human body has been a source of art inspiration for thousands of years, and as long as it's not used in an overly gratuitous fasion, it's alright as long as you put a Mature Content Advisory warning on it.

It does the same with me, until I zoom in.

If anyone is offended by full nudity, don't click on these links. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16447419/

ON-ON! :shake:

:evil:

Who was your model? ;)

[Ian]

Nice pics :) Certainly nothing you wouldn't find in almost any art gallery in the western world, & nothing I'd delete from here (not that they're here anyway!)

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

ON-ON! :shake:

:evil:

Who was your model? ;)
:laugh: :angel: I certainly didn't have a live model! The first one was from my imagination, and the other two I had a heck of a time trying to find something to go from that wasn't obscene. The second is Brianna Banks and I'm not sure who the third is. Just googling results.

[Monkeysrule]

Strange...It's censored until I zoom in. Well done :ok: You'd definitely have some guys drooling over those anytime. But I'm antisexual (that's what my friends call me, anyway, and it stuck) and I'm a girl. So there is no drool here ;) Anywar, nice work on the shadingand the figures.

[Jax]

Strange...It's censored until I zoom in.
Monkey, I believe that not being able to see it until you zoom in is actually a feature of the site. :)

Bronze, I can't believe that your first attempt came out so well! They are very well drawn pictures, and poses! :ok: :ok: two giant thumbs up!

[NeouofPern]

:laugh: :angel: I certainly didn't have a live model! The first one was from my imagination, and the other two I had a heck of a time trying to find something to go from that wasn't obscene. The second is Brianna Banks and I'm not sure who the third is. Just googling results.
Oh, just go ahead and tell them the third one is me. :evil:

[pern_queen_rider]

Bronzie, do I need to smack you?

Honestly, you shant be using your 'cousion' as a model!

Oh, and how is my picture going?(impatient 101, PQR)

Are ya'll from Arkansas?! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[queenrider melody]

Those are pretty good, Bronze.

I was also wondering if you've gotten around to at least Melody's impression picture yet. *Hands Bronze a copy of HOW TO BE IMPATIENT FOR DUMMIES by QRM.* And thanks for considering my requests!

[NeouofPern]

Guys, I gotta speak up for my Bronzie, cause he wont' do it himself. He can only handle so much at a time! Don't bug him if he's finished yet; he'll get to it. He is only human.

Don't blame me! I wasn't the one who started it! If it hadn't been for PQR mentioning her drawing, then I wouldn't have even remembered the pics I asked Bronze to draw! DON'T BLAME ME, BLAME PQR!

[pern_queen_rider]

:sad: Don't blame me! I wasn't the one who started it! If it hadn't been for PQR mentioning her drawing, then I wouldn't have even remembered the pics I asked Bronze to draw! DON'T BLAME ME, BLAME PQR!
I resent that remark!

Well, you did. :noface: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz:

A mushroom, of course! :roll:

[Monkeysrule]

I really like the head of the dragon, told you Bronze, t'other day in chat, of the dragon and rider, and I rather like the watch dragon, I can see you've really worked hard at getting the muscle structure right, it looks really good :D I'm not much of a fan of people drawings, but it is good, and skulls are boring ;) (seen heaps of sheep ones out on farms etc and they're nothing special :D )
But I bet you've never seen a dragon one before :devil:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

I had one to post that I drew for Lady Arwyn and is also going into Dragonchoice II, but Deviant Art is being glictchy and won't show anything I submit :irked:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

I'll try as an attatchment if it will fit...

[Levallia]

Another beautiful drawing, Bronzie! :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: How do you do it? :applause: :bow: :applause: :bow: :applause: :bow:

[Jax]

Beautiful Bronzie! :heartbeat

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Hmmm, editing isn't working, can't edit this into previous post. Deviantart is finally behaving, so here's the good version. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/19199245/

[queenrider melody]

Oh, Bronze! It's beautiful!!!! :heartbeat :heartbeat :heartbeat I love it!

[Monkeysrule]

That is by far your best yet!!!!

What medium? It looks like a cross between a digital painting, a pencil drawing, an oil painting, and DARN GOOD TALENT. :ok:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Wow thank you! I owe Cavatica for the method. She said that she used the smudge and blur tools in photoshop for her dragon girl picture. I was doodling on the rough pencil sketch of mine and thought I'd give it a try. I never expected anything to come of it, but it actually worked out well :D

[Monkeysrule]

About Photoshop: Is it expensive? Does it come with the computers? If not, where do you buy it?

*interested*

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

*interested*
It is extremely difficult to do any artwork on it without a stylus/tablet. I got Adobe Photoshop elements (the lowest kind, it's up to 8.0 now) free with my Wacom tablet. My tablet is just a small one and cost about $160, but I think some places sell them as low as $100. You can probably find a tablet at a good computer software/hardware store.

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Here's the second picture going into Dragonchoice II http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/19240760/

[queenrider melody]

Nice ones, Bronzie! Nice ones!!!!

[NeouofPern]

Ya know I always love your art. :heartbeat

[Monkeysrule]

Great as always! :ok:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

I drew this picture a few weeks ago, but just got the copy from relatives that visited. However laser copies and scanning so not go well together... http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/19657657/

[Monkeysrule]

Pretty!:D

[leahiniowa]

I'm printing them all out for :moon: and babygirl to color. They're really happy! Thank you.

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

I'm printing them all out for :moon: and babygirl to color. They're really happy! Thank you.
Thank you! I'm glad they enjoy it :D I hope you don't print out a select few of them though.... they're not exactly kid material :erm:

[Myaah]

Woah, your drawings are really nice, and your portraits just plain great!
The little girl is really cute hehe ^_^
Do you really do all that with a pencil? I’m utterly unable to draw that cleanly with a pencil o_O Anyway, even if it’s only a laser copy it’s still very pretty ^_^ The real thing must be prettier still ^_^ Congrats! ^_^

Thank you :) Yes, it is completey done with a mechanical pencil, and any smudges or anything are cleaned up in photoshop. I still need to learn to refine my drawing, I've seen many whose pencil work is so phenomenally smooth and lifelike that it could qualify as a B&W photo.

[leahiniowa]

On on, you warned me about the nudity ones.

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

On on, you warned me about the nudity ones.
Pardon? I'm not sure if that's supposed to be good or bad, I appologize if the latter.

[Beisla]

Pardon? I'm not sure if that's supposed to be good or bad, I appologize if the latter.I think she means when you said this:
Thank you! I'm glad they enjoy it :D I hope you don't print out a select few of them though.... they're not exactly kid material :erm:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

ah ok, I understand. Thanks beisla.

A random sketch I did in about half an hour while I was waiting in the car - http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/19870641/

[Monkeysrule]

:eek: You call that a sketch?!?:faint:

That's a full drawing!:bow:

[Jax]

:shake: :bow: Da Master!
*starts gnawing on Bronzie's finger* I need deese, I need em I need em!
Huh :blink: where'm I gonna get glue good enough for his fingers to work properly when I stick em on - epp, that'd mean I'd have to cut my own fingers off!! :scared: :faint:

[Jax]

Oh yeah, I really like the way you got the feet, as well :D And the way the wings look folded up too! :heartbeat

[leahiniowa]

Yes, I have to say that once in a while I'd like to see people drawing dragons with their wings folded. So thank you OnOn.

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Thank you! :blush2: Well I just made a wire and spandex model of a dragon wing, so they are significantly easier to draw now :D

[Myaah]

Thank you :) Yes, it is completey done with a mechanical pencil, and any smudges or anything are cleaned up in photoshop. I still need to learn to refine my drawing, I've seen many whose pencil work is so phenomenally smooth and lifelike that it could qualify as a B&W photo.


Well, congrats, pencil is really precise work and you seem quite well on your way of mastering it :bow:
Also, looking at professional work may be disheartening sometimes, but I think we can always learn more from it :erm:

[Wolfegar]

Bronze-Dragonrider! Those are so cool!

Note: When I clicked on the links you provided, the small image didn't load. But I clicked on Zoom In and the full sized image loaded. Took a while on my dial-up, but worth the wait.

Keep up the good work! :good:

Hoy bronzie, if thats a sketch, then your my writing oppisite, you draw, I write!

Hehe, well I dabble in writing a bit too, but not often enough to really be called a writer. Only when inspiration strikes :roll:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Might as well post this one here too, I submitted it for the Anne picture competition :) http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/20375371/

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/20444606/ found this one in an old sketchbook.

Where's the bow so he can shoot those arrows? :evil:

It took me two full days to view al the pics and read the posts. My dial up is so slow. :erm: Hmmm...you may be getting a PM from me, Bronzie. Don't worry, no impatience here...:D Great work. I love it all, but especially the ones with the dragons and riders. I really liked the watch dragon, and gollum, and my dad (who's old) loved John Wayne. Yoda was cool, I liked how he seemed big and then you added the caption "Size Matters Not". I liked that. He looks large in the drawing when really, he's so small. Love it all. Keep up the good work!

[Monkeysrule]

This sucks...I'm at my cousin's for three weeks, and their computer blocks DeviantArt. I have to wait three whole weeks before viewing those!:cry:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

I have most of my newest ones in my photobucket account, hopefully you can see them here :) http://photobucket.com/albums/y178/bronze_dragonrider200/

[Monkeysrule]

Ah, thank you! Those really are great.:bow: I particularly like the one with Anne McCaffrey and a firelizard.:applause: :applause: :applause:

This is very prelim, but before i go on i want an expert's opinion. This is of course how i view Kris and i haven't begun on the coverall yet - i just want to get her face right first (before i do Zainal). It's in 'Description of Zainal' category under Freedom's forum, if you want to go have a look.

What do you think bronze (and everyone else)?:erm:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Here's a quick doodle I did of one of the most intense scenes in War of the Worlds... maybe I'll finish it one of these days*

Thanks everyone :D I don't think I'll color it, however much I would love to. I'm still very much a novice in digital painting and I NEED direct visual reference for colors (the picture I took it from was covered in scales, so that throws it off alot) if I do it from my head it looks preposterous :laugh:

I just had an idea... It won't turn out as good, but I could do a quick color thing just using color variations in photoshop, rather than painting it all by hand... that way I could colorize the whole thing in 5 minutes :D

[Monkeysrule]

Yay! I wants to see it colored!

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Which color? ;)

[Something Evil]

Rust brown, with a little bit of black.

[Monkeysrule]

Which color? ;)
Looks like a female, so color her green or gold.:ok:

[Mayhem]

Green!!!!
Do her Green!!!

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Ok, by majoraty request, here is the green :D http://www.deviantart.com/view/23806883/

[Mayhem]

Bronzie! I LOVE it!
How cool! I specially love the eye, even tho it aint faceted. It is just so shiny and real!

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Thanks! And yes, that's one liberty I took... I just wanted her to have a pupil instead this time :D
