Ignore this. I was just... doodling.
I adopted this design. He's adorable, but you can't tell here. ;A;


saffron_shadow [Profile] 2012/8/1 - 15:28:54
I like his design very muchly, the outfit, the hairstyle and unusual colours too :) I like the expression on his face XD
pumadragon [Profile] 2012/8/1 - 19:44:51
I love this and I want to be his best friend! He is adorable, the colors and outfit and hair! :D

[[This took roughly an hour; timer is strange.]]
It is a little hamster critter, looking off at a wintery landscape? I guess it's not snowing just yet.
Hey all. Anyone remember me? I found a mouse for my netbook.
[[It SUCKS A*S! It's so jumpy and it moves to fast...]]
I missed this site so much. It had some cool people and junk..
Critique if you'd like. I used a tiny netbook screen and a jumpy mouse, so I'm okay with this.
(I really just wanted to draw something good enough to submit to wings. Ha.)
Add me as a friend on devART? My username is skullz-head. See ya'll 'round.


[anon]starwarsdragon 2012/8/1 - 20:26:24
so cute!
dynasty_dragon [Profile] 2012/8/2 - 6:56:23
I really like this! I actually rather like the scruffy style, it suits the hamster. Yeah, this site gets missed very easily. I think I might remember you but maybe not because I joined in 2010.
miles [Profile] 2012/8/3 - 4:20:10
hey there, good to see you back :D
this is really adorable :D

I was experimenting with line thickness on this pic, and I think I like how it turned out. The yellow backround was a last minute decision, and I'm not so sure about it, but it's not too bad.

C&C would be much appreciated.


skullzhead [Profile] 2012/8/1 - 0:54:25
Line thickness practice = awesome. For the neck scales, I would have probably went a little thicker underneath, but that's just mehz.
Otherwise, awesome practices! I like the paler colors. =3
..And the earrings are smexay.
pumadragon [Profile] 2012/8/1 - 15:3:2
I could recognize your dragons anywhere, this one is a jewel! Those earrings were such a great idea, I like the color scheme. I want to draw with thick lines too. I just feel like my hands are too shaky. =^v^= <---It's a cat owl, lol

eeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhh darn it. I think I'm going to do more realism now, some people wanted to see more of it...........This did not take four hours, I got interrupted every freaking second to do something, About five times since I've been home today I've wanted to kick a chair. Hopefully this shows some improvement from my last manga drawing. This is Drune by himself regretting the fact that he's a were-demon, with the Drydian symbol (Drydia's the rebel demon nation) in the background. I really wish my family would appreciate my art more. They automatically expect me to do this kind of stuff, so every time I show them a picture is an "oh that's nice" or in the case of my sister she thinks it looks weird or something. And because they never seem overly impressed with my artwork, it makes me try harder to impress them. And then they still don't. And so it makes me try harder, and I'm totally exerting my abilities to the full limit, and again they don't care. And I can't make myself stop trying either, which is why now I don't know why I do it. So I kinda draw for my own entertainment now. ugh

C&C please


patchy [Profile] 2012/7/31 - 23:20:13
Oh pumadragon, don't give up, your art is amazing. ^_^
I really like the shine on his hair and the shading on his nose and cheek.
1world1name [Profile] 2012/7/31 - 23:37:13
I was one of those people... Anyways, your family is like my family. It's weird. However, they are the only reason why I'm still drawing, they motivate me... somehow. This is a great drawing by the way. Keep drawing!

pumadragon [Profile] 2012/8/1 - 14:58:38
Thank you for dealing with my whining, ya'll. 1world, I don't blame you for anything. I'm just an emotional 15 year old girl sometimes, I feel better now after what you said. Don't feel bad! And actually, I think I would like to show you some more realism stuff. It's a perfect suggestion. Actually, I do get motivated by my family to draw also. When my oldest brother got married a few months ago, I drew a surprise picture of him and his wife in pencil. I was so proud to be able to contribute to the wedding in that way, and they loved it. And someday their kids can see it too. =^ ^= And thank you Patchy, you will always be my greatest friend/confider. You always know what to say and you have never doubted me. I don't know what I would do without you. Really.
saffron_shadow [Profile] 2012/8/1 - 15:8:19
Parents get like that I find. It's not because your art isn't good enough, it's probably because they're so used to seeing it or even don't know how to elaborate other than saying 'that's good'. They may even be busy or have other things on their mind. Seriously, don't get disheartened, as long as you love drawing never stop. Try and find other ways that motivate you, you'll always have fans here on NDA at least ^^. Even though your parents may not show it, I know in the deepest part of their hearts they're proud of you!

On another note, your drawing is really cool and a great improvement! I love the way you shaded the hair and the expression is really cute, makes me want to give him a hug lol ^^

P.S. Your drawings aren't weird, it just means they're different. And trust me that's a good thing!

Whatever the timer says it is wrong, however i'm not sure how long I did spend on this.

I am, SO tired of looking at this. The lineart wasn't even hard, I had fun drawing her. It was when I came to the shading that everything went down hill.
I can't shade short haired animals apparently, kind of half shitted it on the fur detail because i got so tired of this.
Tail looks so weird, I know. I think I might get rid of the poof of fur on it, idk.
Uhm yeah, kind of furry-like anatomy this time, not really anthro. Breasts are probably off, I hate drawing them so much.
Oh and I can't draw belly buttons either 8D

You can crit if you want, but if I don't already know whats wrong with it, I've looked at this for so long that I could probaby careless about anything else.
Sorry if the BG clashes, tried every other damn color.


t4phage [Profile] 2012/7/31 - 18:27:17
I like the fur shading, I think it looks good. I have no idea how to shade short fur either...mine always looks bad. I don't think the background clashes, since it matches the purple spots. Her face is very adorable and I love the pose.
skullzhead [Profile] 2012/7/31 - 19:52:45
The way you chose the colors really rocks, everything's connected somehow. OuO
Very pretty drawing, I can see the love put into it~!
pumadragon [Profile] 2012/7/31 - 22:26:10
I will always love this character. Ez empossible not too. :P

t4phage [Profile] 2012/7/31 - 18:28:16
How do you whip these out so fast like it's nothing?! I must learn your secrets...and I just realized I'm on the collab account. Whoops. This is Dreya by the way. Zuleika is so cool...
docile_dragon [Profile] 2012/8/1 - 5:43:31
Haha well I don't know quite how I do it either. As for the Rito sketches I did I was surprised by the speed at which I did them too. I just got a moment of inspiration and went with it. Though one of my secrets is that I listen to audio books while I draw. Other than that I just have a lot of time on my hands this summer once the fall comes I'll slow down a bit.
saffron_shadow [Profile] 2012/8/1 - 14:49:9
Cute! I really love the way you draw fur and you put a good deal of depth in your shading too. Also I absolutely ADORE the paw turning inwards <3
docile_dragon [Profile] 2012/8/2 - 6:13:48

I absolutely love his mouth, and I do not know why.
This is a very handsome dragon.
saffron_shadow [Profile] 2012/8/1 - 14:44:2
Looks like such a benevolent dragon! I especially like his face, colours and the perspective on this, great job :)
lazulidragon [Profile] 2012/8/1 - 15:50:45
NIce to see your art around here shilowolftail!!!!!!!!! This dragon looks very eragon/inheritance cyle like in the shape of the face. I love the colors and the turquise just makes this picture pop. This dragon looks so powerful and his face looks so real and emotion-fulled. Hope to see more, your art will never cease to amazing me!
lady_miragon [Profile] 2012/8/2 - 17:3:10
I totally agree with lazulidragon! This dragon looks like he is filled with a lot of emotion. The turquoise really makes your dragon pop, too. Good execution! I wish I had your style! I love the way you did this dragon!
catgirl [Profile] 2012/8/3 - 1:32:55
The gem on the forehead looks slightly off center, should be both placed and angled a little bit more away from us. I really like the shape of the near wing, how you did the wing fingers and the folds.

I have no idea how much time I spent on this total, so if it's less than 45 minutes, please move it to Quicklings for me mods.

For Sacer's Challenge: My animal is the American Crow.

Story: I live in a part of Texas where there aren't many crows. We have grackles, which everyone calls crows, but I didn't see my first crow until I went camping. I remember they woke me up with their talking to each other. After that I kept an eye out for them, and I realized they are in every place I love. When I'm outdoors in my favorite places, there are always crows. They came to be a sign to me of an area where I would want to live. If it's good enough for crows, I want to be there. I know for many people crows are a sign of death, but they don't mean death to me. They mean life and beauty, intelligence and playfulness and most of all freedom. I've always been obsessed with the idea of flying and wings and therefore birds. But if I had to choose a bird to be, I would choose the crow. Whenever I see one fly over, since they are rare where I live, I always consider it a good sign.
Spirit Meaning for Crows: Sacred Law, Change. I don't have much to say about this.
Dictionary Meaning: Any book will tell you crows are some of the smartest birds, and may be some of the smartest animals. They are amazing problem-solvers. They are part of the Corvids, which includes jays and ravens and magpies and such. All of which I love, but crows are special to me.
Chinese Zodiac: I'm the snake. Snakes are apparently smart and like to study.
Western Zodiac: Pisces. Instinctive and intuitive. I have to admit fish and snakes don't have much to do with crows, but I never put much stock in zodiac signs anyway.
I guess my element should be water, but I've always felt much more attached to air. At least it isn't earth or fire.


saffron_shadow [Profile] 2012/8/1 - 15:21:8
I like your positive perception of the crow, we have literally have tens if not hundreds of thousands where I live. They wake me up with a HUGE chorus every morning ^^ You must love it here then XD

This drawing is amazing, it's so anatomically correct! I like the sketchy shading style to it too :)
lazulidragon [Profile] 2012/8/1 - 15:54:51
Love the crow. Its so pretty. The feathers are amazing and so are the different colors highlighted on its body and wings/tail. I just love birds so much! I wish I could fly. I know what you mean about crows, no one likes them, but I think they are so pretty and they are so smart, they even know how to store food and hide it from each other and can make tons of different noises. I like talking to them since I can actually crow. Like the carrking noise they make, I can make a perfect imitation. Don't think me wierd for it. hahaha. Sorry if I totally just wasted your time. :/
dreyacira [Profile] 2012/8/1 - 17:0:12
Saffron: I sure would love it where you live! Awww, thanks!

Lazuli: Thank you! I know exactly how you feel, I wish I could fly every day. Lol, don't worry, every time I'm around crows I imitate them in the hopes that they'll caw back at me. Last time I did it, the crow responded, so I must be doing it right! XD

heather [Profile] 2012/7/31 - 13:10:42
well this was for wolven.

i did good on the head but i dont know what i was trying to do with the rest of the body, he's all crooked.

i was trying to make him look like he was emerging from the smoke at the bottom.

i now see why i dont get requests that often but i hope i did good enough for wolven and hope he will let me retry, definitly in a diffrent pose.


[anon]wolven_notloggedin 2012/8/1 - 15:7:44
Woah. I think this is really good heather. I especially like the background, and I love all the detail you did on Daedrid. The head is awesome. As for the pose, I designed Daedrid to be kinda Alien, so it's fine if the pose is unusual. My only crits are small in nature. He doesn't actually have teeth, but he has a few protrusions resembling canines at the front of his lower jaw normally, and the fluids in his mouth should be slightly more turquoise. Other than that, I really like it.
Truthfully, you have done a great job on him and I am really happy that you did him. Of course you may retry him. :-]
My only regret is that I had not done better references for you, like a back view or something.

wolven [Profile] 2012/7/31 - 12:34:49
Cane and Elenduil sat atop a tree overlooking most of ellesmera, as the sun began its slow descent below the horizon, which cast millions of shades of Ruby, amber and an array of golden outlines came accross the clouds, so the city seemed somewhat heavenly in the last few hours of Sun.
Elenduil sat on a branch, her legs hanging off it, whilst Cane Hung himself from the same branch, next to her, so his vision was of an upside down world.
"I doubt I'll ever be able to get used to this." Elenduil said, her expression morbid as she gazed at the horizon after looking at Cane's knees, for he had perched himself so his legs suspended him, "You are really weird."
"You should try talking to Daedrid." 'then i will appear somewhat normal to her' he thought having spoken already.
"Where is your dragon anyway? I haven't felt the earth quake since That little tussle with Firnen."
Cane felt worried. though he knew Daedrid was recovering, and most certainly alive, he could not help but wonder where he was.
"He's recovering." Cane stated in a very blunt manner. Elenduil looked to him cautiously.
"Get the blazes up here!" she said, grasping him violently and bringing him up to sit beside her. He gave no resistance.
"You said you were a Rider when we first met. Where is your dragon?" Cane asked.
Elenduil seemed wary.
"She's elsewhere at the moment. Probably hunting."
Cane opened his mouth to press the matter further but seeing her expression, he realised she deemed it inappropriate.
"I'm sorry Cane, about our fight. It was an unfair match, nor was it in the sparring area, where it really should have been. I had my reasons at the time, so I feel I owe it to you to inform you."
Cane's ears perked up intently.
"as the queen's daughter, it is often deemed inappropriate for me to battle others without a schedule, and as I am sure you learned, my mother disapproves of it."
"Well that didn't stop you. I'm guessing you are quite the firebrand around here." Cane said.
"I'm the ONLY firebrand around here. I never set much store by rules and regulations. When I heard you had come to Elesmera, and were roaming about, i figured i would test your mettle. And i wanted to see what you looked like. I have never met a snow elf you see."
"It seems no one here has met one of my kin before... what the?"
The duo looked up to see a sky blue dragon flying towards them, a rider atop it. Cane stood up, presuming there was a message for him as the dragon was hovering in front of him. Elenduil remained seated.
"Snow elf-"
"Its CANE damnit!"
"Sorry... -Cane- our queen requests your presence with her at dusk, along with your dragon. He has gone missing though. Please find him and report to her majesty at once."
At that, the dragon left them.
"Fancy giving me some help? we could walk together?" Cane asked Elenduil. She looked cautiously to him.
"Sure. but before we go looking, I need to ask. You lied to my mother's face about not being able to use magic, why?"
Cane smiled.
"Morgorath' and 'Halduinarde', they are two Krosian blessings passed down through the generations of my kin. it takes practise to use them. I have plenty more that I need enabled, but they don't use energy, as magic does. I'll explain it to you later, now shall we?"
Cane stopped. Daedrid was shouting at him.
-Down here! Look straight down from there.-
They were the first words Daedrid had spoken to him in weeks, since he collapsed after fighting Firnen.
Looking down, Cane jumped down from the tree, and rolled to brace his fall as he landed in the forest undergrowth.
How he had never seen it before was a mystery to him. His jaw dropped.
Before him was what appeared to be a kind of corpse. The strange, beak-like jaws, the finger like wing-claws, the wolf-like legs, the long slender tail which all once belonged to Daedrid were hanging between two dead trees. Virnroot blossomed on the surrounding trees. The luminous syliva of the dragon seemed to have hardened on the skin, whilst the spiral horns were missing and the tendon-like conjunctions hung loosely from the corpse's gaping mouth. the tail curled around one of the trees, and the main body, along with most of the limbs had become badly dessicated and torn, as though something had burst out from within, leaving a few bloody entrails within..
-Turn around- Daedrid said in Cane's mind, sensing the emotions rushing through him.
Cane's Eyes widened with an expression of awe, fear, happiness and a sliver of anger for he beheld an improved version of his dragon.
-What? Why are you so surprised? I thought you knew I shed my skin?-


wolven [Profile] 2012/7/31 - 12:41:5
Well this went much more according to plan, and i am very, very pleased with the result. I did however want the sheddings to look more hardened, and kind of dried up. I guess I am not really that good at that sorta thing, looking at the large areas of red. I really need help with doing foresty backgrounds etc.
Oh, yeah. C&C would be greatly appreciated and I hope you guys like the chapter. some C&C on it would be good too.
pumadragon [Profile] 2012/7/31 - 15:17:19
It looks like and sounds like this shedding business is..........painful, maybe it's just me. My favorite part of this chapter was when Cane got mad because he was called "snow-elf" again. Lol, will they ever learn?
[anon]skullzhead 2012/7/31 - 19:39:14
Who knew that shedding could look so terrifying! 0o0!

Looking at pics here (mostly kitn's) has made me want to draw a quickie of Myrrhina.


dreyacira [Profile] 2012/7/31 - 11:37:43
She's so soft and beautiful-looking. I love her wings and eyes.
kitn [Profile] 2012/7/31 - 11:38:34
this is really soft!!! the wings are especially my favorite, and her hands especially! this is so simplistic but so pretty :-)
docile_dragon [Profile] 2012/7/31 - 16:36:11
I like the soft look of this picture though the wings look a little too low on the body.
saffron_shadow [Profile] 2012/8/1 - 14:40:32
How beautiful! I love those hands and shading on the wings and hair, especially :) You are improving!
catgirl [Profile] 2012/8/1 - 18:45:26
Awww, thanks, guys. :)

Docile, you may be right, I noticed when I was drawing her dress thing that the flight feathers looked too low in comparison. (The wings attach at the shoulder, but I didn't do a good job of showing that either, you can just barely see the wing arm on the right and it blends in with her arm too much.)

Random, scary wolf-creature. I don't draw wolves very often, so this is pretty good for me.

C&C always appreciated


pumadragon [Profile] 2012/7/30 - 22:43:26
It is good practice for you, I think. However, he slightly reminds me of a squirrel cause of his tail. :3 I love his pose and that adorably menacing face :D His paws are cool too.

For my first fursona, I think I did pretty good. The colors may be off a bit so sorry for that. This is miles' OC, Cobalt. I had too much fun with the expression. Earlier, I decided not to do a flamboyant pose and stick to an interesting expression. Hope you like it miles!


1world1name [Profile] 2012/7/30 - 19:40:37
I still need more ideas for what to draw. Fan art, a concept, furries, OCs, no animals.
miles [Profile] 2012/8/1 - 1:29:14
hey! this is so great, i love the expression so gave him... your soft lines make the picture look really pale too, it's easy on the eyes~ gah this is really cool... thanks so much for drawing him, i love it :D

anyway this was for Lazuli dragon. i will get you a better picture i promise.


catgirl [Profile] 2012/7/31 - 3:20:48
Aww, I think it's cute. I like her expression, and how you did the shimmery gold sheen.
lazulidragon [Profile] 2012/7/31 - 13:11:29
Wow! This is really good actually. If you want you can do another one, but this one is pretty awesome. I love how there are so many shadoes of blue, and the golden shimers look really cool!!! I love the smiel and her spikes on her neck and front legs!!! My only crit is that the markings look a bit strange. It might help to not outline them in so much black, for shading, a darker shade of the blues would also work better, not just black. I really like the greenish blue and purpley tints of blue in her scales as well. Thanks so much!!!!!!!!

Why do I always draw head shots? Maybe I should do something different. Anyways, this is pumadragon's OC, Drune. I don't think I had enough information to make an interesting expression and still make it in character. I'm sorry pumadragon! I have failed you...


1world1name [Profile] 2012/7/30 - 14:16:17
Also, I still need some ideas on what to draw. No animals, maybe furries, OCs, concepts, and fan art. C&C please.
pumadragon [Profile] 2012/7/30 - 16:25:18
Now now, you didn't fail at all, I promise. I'm sorry I didn't tell you anything about his character, that's my fault. This expression isn't bad because he usually has a slight smile on his face. He's pure evil, except he tries to be annoying and seem like he's having fun harassing you, so he grins devilishly sometimes. He is also full of contempt. He has trouble hiding his emotions, has a lot of self confidence and can be self-centered at times, which makes him more intimidating. When he is frustrated about something, it's really easy to tell. The only times he is ever unlike himself is when he transforms into a full-blooded demon every full moon. Then he's just a monster. It's his curse.

Don't feel bad. I'm not as interested in the quality of the pic, I just enjoy seeing my OC's drawn in other people's styles, I always want to know how other people visualize my creations. I think you did a good job, he looks menacing, but maybe that's just me because in my alternate reality he is my worst enemy. :3
1world1name [Profile] 2012/7/30 - 16:56:52
yay! *hugs* I feel better now. Truthfully, the smile was completely experimental, but it turned out pretty good for your description, right?
pumadragon [Profile] 2012/7/30 - 22:47:39
definitely. :)
