The first gift art I ever made, for Kelathe. The char belongs to him and what follows is the description he provided. I do not think I managed to respect that wich he wrote... but it's the best I can do. Hope he won't be disapointed ( too much ).
Character Information:
Red and Silver Western Dragon.
Half of his body is covered in deep red scales, which is his upper half. This runs from head to tail. Above the stomach. The bottom half is silver. Generally this half is completely smooth looking and shiny as pure silver. Unlike his upper half, this bottom half seems to have no visible scales or plating. This runs from his tail to the very bottom half of his maw. (This can be changed to a normal draconic stomach or lower half since he has also been depicted as so also.) His body is quite well built. His stomach area is around the same thickness and roundness as the rest of his body, except his tail and neck. His tail is quite longer than most other dragons about an extra 25-50% more.He has a basic tail shape of a dragon. Thick near the pelvis and narrows to a point at the end. Running down the top of his head all the way down to the middle of his back runs a silver fin with fin horns along it to support it. Depending on the mood this fine strip can be raised fully or laid flat. His head is a cross of the classic red dragon shaped head with some silver dragon features. His snout looks a little more saurian. His eyes are generally a liquid mist of grey. But on some moods it can change to a nice sea blue. Normally he does not have any true horns on his head or body other than the small fin horns. But with the use of magic or his trnasformation ability or his variant on age. He does sport a pair of horns from his head narrowed in line with his head. The outward sides of his arms and legs (facing away from his body) is all covered by his red scales, attached to the rest of the red scale portions. The inside (facing towards his stomach area or undersides) is the same as the silver portions. He also has the silver for a soft underpadding on his paws. His head and maw shows no teeth when his mouth is closed. The dragon has a sleek looking body and looks smooth. His shiny body generally increases such a look. His has a set of wings that have the membrane as a silver sheen and the muscular limbs as the red scales. He has a general average wingspan of a dragon his size. The dragon has a decently muscular and constitutional build. His legs seem much stronger than his arms. But not by much.
I love how unique your style is! You've always paid such close attention to detail! Love it! The only thing I'd suggest is sharpening the edges of shapes against the background, and increasing the contrast a little more. There are a few edges (around the top of the bird, and the right side of the dragon) that start to blur into the surroundings a bit. But very nicely done with all of the details, for sure!
very lovely dragon he does look like something from jurassic park, but still very awesome XD you payed a lot of attention to the details that's very good, also he doesn't look very vicious, kinda cute lol but still cool and a nice job with the forest and the shiny sun effects ~Draconis
