[Beisla]

It's lovely! :tilt::heart:

[Apocalypse]

:cool: Amy!

[Bamy]

i did that one in a months worth of geography lessons and stiil managed toget just under a b in that subject!


it was the first proper picture that i have drawn in colour.

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Very nice Amy! :applause: Now I see what you mean about the headknobs, they look simliar to the firelizard's headknobs in the DLG. I especially love how you made the reflection from the gold egg on the Queen's skin, it makes it look like its glowing. I look forward to seeing some more artwork from you :ok:

[Bamy]

that was the general idea when i did the gold egg. it took ages to get the shadows right.

[Ian]

Here's the latest batch of pics Amy sent in:)

Here's the first pic from Amy :)

Queen dragon & eggs (http://www.imsmultimedia.co.uk/Images/AmyB/QueenDragon.jpg)
My goodness the pic is so good! I can't draw dragon's at all. When I draw a dragon rider people always ask why they are wearing funny straps and jackets or "whats with the tunic?"

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Thanx for showing us some more pics. I really like the green firelizard, and especially the doodle. I love the creativity and design of it :good:

[Bamy]

the random doodle idea came from the cover of the garth nix Sabriel book. i was waiting for my dad to pick me up in carmarthen and was bored so started to doodle.

[Bamy]

dragons 1 and 2 were dne in lectures as was the hand.

[Bamy]

fire lizard 1 was an early attempt hence the lizard look and pionty head knobs.

i was aiming for the wings in the unfinished pic to appear to be sightly transparent. i think i pulled it off rather well.

[C_ris]

WOW! They are all great, but the queen dragon and eggs one is brilliant!!!

[Bamy]

WOW! They are all great, but the queen dragon and eggs one is brilliant!!!
it took ages to get that way.

Rose (http://www.imsmultimedia.co.uk/Images/AmyB/Rose.jpg)

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

I love ALL of these. Something just calls out to me with the Key on the Stairs, very myeterious. And the Polar Bear in the Snow :D simplistic, yet very humorous. Beautiful rose too :heartbeat

[Bamy]

thank you!

[C_ris]

They're all great! you're very good at making simple lines convey a lot more than is obvious. I like the Polar Bear in the Snow though... might have to borrow that joke! ;)

[Feena_bronze_rider]

You are quite talented!

[Bamy]

They're all great! you're very good at making simple lines convey a lot more than is obvious. I like the Polar Bear in the Snow though... might have to borrow that joke! ;)
be my guest!

[Bamy]

You are quite talented!
thank you! i just practice untill i get what i am trying for.

[carmella]

Wow! you are so talented :bow: :bow: :bow: :applause: :applause:

[Ian]

Here's a self-portrait (who of? I hear you ask ;) )

Self-portrait (http://www.imsmultimedia.co.uk/Images/AmyB/SelfPortrait.jpg)

Amy apologises for the banding on this pic, but her scanner's playing up, & while it would probably be possible to fix it in Photoshop, I'd rather not risk making a mess of it!

[Bamy]

i did this one from a photo taken at a recent presentation of prizes i am not very good at drawing people but i think this was a good stab and at least looks like me.

[Jax]

Wow Amy that's pretty darn cool!! A lovely self rendition :D

Unfortunately I still have problems drawing the features on a stick figure face so I'll never be of your calibre LOL :roll:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Very nice! :applause: From that picture it looks like you van draw people very well.

[ladyholdermara]

WOW great images Amy!!! I especially like the self portrait :D REal talent.

[maiken]

Great Amy! They're wonderful! :bouncy: :bow: :applause:

[Lady Faizah]

Wow! :good:

This (http://www.users.bigpond.com/faizah8/merli.jpg) (a greenrider with 2 blue firelizards) is the most artistic thing I've ever done... I did it entirely in Paint. :roll: I wish I had the painting of a dragon my father did for me... And a scanner. :roll: He's the artist in the family. That's actually what he does for a living. Unfortunately, I didn't inherit half his talent. (I got my mother's fiction-writing, instead)

[Bamy]

it's not too bad if you arent used to using paint to draw pictures.i know the attempts i have made using paint looked a LOT worse.

[Kitsch]

Well done Bamy! :applause:

[Monkeysrule]

Those are great!!!! :ok: :ok: :ok: :ok:

The dragons look exactly as they should look that most professional cover artists couldn't get right. Ever consider maybe adding color to some of those and maybe even make your "own" covor art for the books? It would sure beat some of the stuff the cover artists do. *cough*Weston*cough*

[Bamy]

Wow I had no idea people thought my work was THAT good, I will have to think on it, it took a looooong time to do the queen one so well and i have loads of things to do at the mo, I will keep it in mind for the future tho, with all of the praise I am getting for my work, it is a real confidence booster.

[Monkeysrule]

One suggestion: you should try doing your drawings on blank paper instead of lined paper. Much neater.

[jinnjinn]

Wow these are great!

[Bamy]

One suggestion: you should try doing your drawings on blank paper instead of lined paper. Much neater.yes but the problem is I usually do these sketches in lectures where all I have got IS lined paper:roll: (proper drawings like the queen one are a different matter. I could probably do them in a larger format tho. I use pencils a LOT so usually my work is A4)

[Monkeysrule]

Are you allowed to take your stuff with you to the lectures? Cause what I do is keep a sketchpad/stack of paper in my bag.

Nice work. I especially love the rose.

[Bamy]

I am but usually forget to take things. I do have a few things in the works , but at the moment have no time to do much but fiddle with the drawings.

[Ian]

At last, new pics!

Some nice drawings of leaves (http://imsmultimedia.co.uk/Images/AmyB/Leaves.jpg).

And the same in black & white! (http://imsmultimedia.co.uk/Images/AmyB/Leaves2.jpg)

:)

[Bamy]

I dug these pictures out over the christmas holidays and it has taken this long to send them to Ian :roll: I think that they were done when I was still in secondry school...I must have been dead bored to do this. I remember taking the dog for a wander and picking up the leaves and stuff and spending the rest of the afternoon working on them...jus shows that I can do a decent picture when I actually pay attention to my work...even in colour :D

[Jax]

Very cool Bamy! :cool: I always enjoyed doing these sorts of things in school :D

[Monkeysrule]

Those are great! That dandelion leaf especially looks real.

[Bamy]

Thankyou! I was trying to make them as realistic ooking as possible :erm: I think...

[Bamy]

I thought I had better post my Calendar submissions here.

threaded green (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v714/Jaxiemafoozle/Calendar%20pics/Bamy-threadedgreen.jpg)

Menolly (unfinished) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v714/Jaxiemafoozle/Calendar%20pics/Bamy-Menolly.jpg)

Mating Flight (unfinished) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v714/Jaxiemafoozle/Calendar%20pics/Bamy-matingflight.jpg)

These are the specifically Pernese ones

[Bamy]

These are kind of generic scenes for pernese dragons. (taken from mini prints of the lake district and Dragons added :biggrin:

Dawn Flight (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v714/Jaxiemafoozle/Calendar%20pics/Bamy-dawnflight.jpg)

Blue at lake (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v714/Jaxiemafoozle/Calendar%20pics/Bamy-blueatlake.jpg)

[Bamy]

This one is from the Temeraire Series by Naomi Novic. It could be any of the Celestials but I decided it would be Lien (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v714/Jaxiemafoozle/Calendar%20pics/Bamy-lien.jpg) - the albino dragon.

[Bamy]

I should shortly finish my favourite of the pieces I have done this summer - the hatching of Temeraire one.

[The_Khan]

Very nice artwork!

[Bamy]

Thanks :D

[The_Khan]

You're welcome Bamy my friend :)

[Bamy]

A new one. Menolly and Firelizards (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v714/Jaxiemafoozle/Dragon%20and%20creature%20pictures/MenollyandLizards.jpg)

[Jax]

This is one of my faves Bamy :heartbeat

[Bamy]

That is partially why I got it finished :D

[Jax]

:biggrin:

[Bamy]

Hatching Temeraire (http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q66/Bamy_bucket/hatchingtemeraire.jpg). I actually finished this a ew weks ago. Finally set up a photobucket account so now I don't have to ask Jax or Ian to host the new pics :biggrin:

[Jax]

T'is a very cool pic Bamy :yes: :good:

I love this one :D

[Bamy]

Mowse (http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q66/Bamy_bucket/Mowse.jpg) I got a bit bored in lectures so I started sketching this little thing.

[Jax]

Ooohhh cute! :D

[Bamy]

I have had so little time to do any work this year...*shakes head sadly* Still, I did these pieces of FanArt a while ago, and have only just re discovered them :D

Willow (http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q66/Bamy_bucket/Willow.jpg) & Tristram (http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q66/Bamy_bucket/tristram.jpg) from Earthsong (http://www.earthsongsaga.com/index.html)

[Beisla]

I really like Willow's expression, though the eyes look a bit strange.

[Bamy]

Yeah I got the eyes a bit wrong :erm:

Very nice!! :D


And speaking of art, where's that picture you were doing for Bronzie and I? :whistle:

[Bamy]

Finally have some time to work on it this week (sort of) I have been manically busy most of this year. These were done before I offered to do yours.

[Bamy]

Sorry it is taking so long.

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

Sorry it is taking so long.

No worries. :hugs: I was curious, so I had to ask. :)

And there's more...

Rose (http://www.imsmultimedia.co.uk/Images/AmyB/Rose.jpg)

That pen drawing reminds me of whats-her-face's hold...ah! Her name is Thella, from The Girl Who Heard Dragons. Thella has always been an interesting character; I'm somewhat surprised to see anything relating to what I pictures her hold looks like :D

[Jax]

Have you read The Renegades of Pern? Is that what you meant, perhaps? :)

[Cavatica]

Have you read The Renegades of Pern? Is that what you meant, perhaps? :)
Thella first shows up in Anne's short story The Girl Who Heard Dragons, in the book of the same name. ;>

[Jax]

I know Cav, but as far as I know the hold is only mentioned in Renegades isn't it? Am I remembering it wrong?

[Killashandra]

I read both of them dear. Sorry

[Bamy]

Either way, the spiral staircase (I assume this is the one you refer to) does resemble the back stairs of a hold. I had however drawn this picture before I ever got near one of Anne's books.

[Killashandra]

No, actually the Geology drawing. Though that might have been a rock formation ^.^ Oops. The rock clump/ hold thing on the right.

[Bamy]

New sketch. Got bored on the first evening on the field course so knocked this out.

http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q66/Bamy_bucket/TwilightDragon.jpg

[Jax]

Very nice Bamy!! :good:

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

Nice for a quick sketch! :D

[Killashandra]

:heart:

[Bamy]

I may attempt to colour5 it once I have finished Kalina and Bronzie's piece. and I WILL finish it.

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

:giggle: I know you will.

[Bamy]

Did this sketch this evening :D

Love the doodledog and the rather fierce looking kitty.

Curious hatcling

[Bamy]

Recent efforts :D

[Beisla]

I love the hatchiling! He really looks quite curious. :D

[Bamy]

Ok, I have three new pieces to put up, one is the most ambitios piece of artwork I have ever done. It is a watercolour painting that I did as a wedding present for Bronze Dragonrider and Weyrwoman Kalina.

http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q66/Bamy_bucket/dragon.jpg

[Bamy]

The other two are products of extreme boredom at work. :D
