Artist's Comments

This bad boy has been done for a while, but I just now decided to upload him here. Yep, it's another design for Dragoncave. Hopefully during this summer, I will be producing some EPIC- and I mean srsly bsns epic- dagrons for the site. I've got plans this summer, and if it all goes well you will see more art from me than in any three-month stretch previously.

Anyway, this guy was tricky- the chest, head and front legs came first, then the wings and tail- the back legs were hard, and I think they still look sort of weird. Maybe I'll come back and fix them later, but right now it's pretty good. Yeah, it is based off that sketch I submitted earlier.

Like all sprites for DC, this is under a size and color constraint;

-no dimensions over 120 pixels.
-no more than 16 colors.

I still went over the file size a bit by "filling up my canvas" (My style does that a lot) but hopefully I can work that out over time.

Thanks for stopping bye!

Yeah, that color limit is killer. XD. But, I'm learning to work with it, I actually think I learn more working with constraints.

One of these days, though, the gloves are coming off. >3. And I'll use my newfound skills to make something big, animated, and cool.

(Unless I phail. :B)

Anyway- thank you. I'm glad that you think so. X3.

Vultures are fiendishly adorable. X3. Well, I think so.

Mhmm, I like to think texture is the kind of thing I do well- though sometimes actually getting the shape down trips me up. XD.

Thank you! :3

XD. Naaaaw, your gold got a DD! :3 And it deserved it, I hope you know. X3. Congrats on that.

And the dark dragon is super pretty. :3

I'm glad you like this, though. XD. Hopefully I'll be producing more epic this summer. :3

MmmmmhMomo, if he were any more gorgeous my eyes would implode. Absolutely gorgeous textures, and awesome work within the constraints. He looks like a professional game graphic!
:iconkomodo-342:
Thank you! X3. I'm really glad you like him so much- he's my pride and joy, at the moment. :3

He looks so itty-bitty up there, though! XD I forget just how small DC sprites really are. I was spoiled when I worked on the ascended stuff. :B

Would you believe games taught me how to sprite? X3. I learned initially from Seikendensetsu 3, and worked my way up from there. (It is seriously the most beautiful SNES game evah.)

He's gorgeous!

Do you mind if I sit him beside a sprite I'm working on so that I can see how you've done the feathered wings please? I'm not going take anything from him, I just want to use him as a reference for the wings as I've still got lot to learn.
