FIRST!!! Hmmm...It's hard to tell because everything is so light, but I really like the leg pose and all the moony things in the background. I doubtr wings go that far down the tail though...

Huh...very cool MDW! I really like the mane and the pose of the head. However...I'm a little confused abut the texture of the wing. What is it exactly???

i does like the mane :3

I do too! It's SHINY!!! *stares*

Wow....the mane and wings are probably the best part of this pic...awesome job!

What's that symbol up in the corner? Is it japanese?

Agree with everyone, nice picture!

Way to make an original comment! *glomps Acylius anywayz* Say...are you offended by any of the things I say about guys??

Oh no I'm not, it was quite funny to read!

i find them funny too XD today the guys in my class were listing their goals of the week. they mostly consisted of things like: make someone barf, make someone cry, make someone get in trouble, gross someone out...lol and one of them burped in my ear and another farted really loud i have to admit it was absolutely hilarious xDDD

That'd be the Japanese symbol for "Death" or "Hate" As far as wing texture... Not exactly sure and I was doing it on textured sketch paper.

@Serenity: Well, I guess one can't complain about the ambitiously high goals of the guys in your class...lol. @MDW: Why does such a pretty dragon have the symbol of hate??

i love the main, but i have to say, the way u drew the legs is perfect!!!! amazing job!!!! but yeah, answer Rana's question!

I agree. The legs were the first things I noticed because they were so good!

Between the one wing and the legs I spent the most time on the more detailed wing. @Rana: The dragon has the symbol for death on it because it's like a beautiful flower. Sometimes that flower's beauty will be harmless. But sometime's a flower's outer beauty hides the ugly truth inside. some of the prettiest flowers in the world can have the ugliest traits.

Like what? And I didn't think that dragon looks like a flower. More like a majestic and beautiful animal who has more strength than meets the eye

The flower was an example. And there's this one flowerthat's REALLY big but it smells like decomposing bodies when it blooms every eleven years or so...

i really like this pic. some lines and textures could be cleaned up, but that's all i have to say. good job!

Actually, that big flower isn't all that pretty. If you want to talk about a pretty flower with ugly traits, a good example is the rose. It's very pretty and colorful, but it has prickly thorns on the stem.

why does everyone use the rose as an example? there are other flowers that look just as nice and have thorns? *is not critisizing, just making a point*

The rose is just a common flower that everyone knows of, and because of its popularity, it's a good item to use for making a point

yeah, i guess

See, now, you could probably mention another flower that's really pretty that has thorns, and use it to make your point, but I, who has no flower knowledge at all, wouldn't have a clue as to what you were talking about.

okay, i get it, so u wouldn't know what a thistle is?

well, I know what a thistle is, but it doesn't have a pretty flower as far as I know.

Again with the pretty colors-es! I like the wings and the pov. ^.^

thisltes are the flower of scotland!!! they are pretty!!!

sorryz...me no live in scotland...me wouldn't know...

not much dark value. the whole piece blends into one big blue blob. Things farther away should apear darker. There should be more shading and solid color underneath the wing. And it is done very light...the hair is good though and I like the form

Hmm...I didn't even notice that! Wow, Kelsey tis a better critiquer than me, lolz!

well, I practically live in the art room at school now, so I've picked up on alot. I never thought I'd need an art class till now XD

@Rana, i don't live in Scotland either, but i've been there, and i got a necklace with a thistle carved in colored glass!, its very pretty *forgives Rana*

*feels happy* art calss is fun! too bad my last teacher suked!

oh, what a shame. nothing like a fun class with a lousy teacher. bleh XP my art teacher is awesome. She's absolutely crazy I eat there and waist time there and go there to escap other classes. Even when I don't have the class I'm there suckling off the painting supplies and spying on the works of my higher-ups and aquaintances

lolz~ Sounds like a second home to you then, huh?

might as well be. Its safe there from other people who scare me. There aren't alot of 'gangsters' and wannabe 'street punks' with their pants falling down, heads shaved, rhine-stone studded ears and wierdo accessories that think there's no such thing as a good son that isn't rap....thats the general categorey my school falls under, a least as far as males are concerned. The rest are just wierd and often very mean. My school isn't a nice one really, but its better than other schools I could have ended up at. At least there aren't to many fights/murders/rapes/other forms of violence and such like I've heard from other schools. The art room is usually full of nice and very imaginative, if not just alittle crazy, people...its not much different from hre in some ways...just more...highschool-ish.

ah, I see. My school is very hillbilly and redneck, but there are some of those people there too. I guess they pop up everywhere...which is too bad cuz they really shouldn't be in school anywayz...

redneck I'd be able to live with. I like a lot of country music and I understand and love redneck jokes...partly cuz some are true about me and my family. These 'ghettos' I have very little respect for though. I barely see them as people...its wierd, I observe other people as different species depending on their social mien, manners and personality...its kinda cruel, and probably very bias, maybe eve hypocritical at times, but thats how I think...as for me, I think I'm a hippie generally...that is, if you can even put a label of any kind on me

<.< >.> idk if I could be labeled anything...I'm super peppy but not at all girly-girl or preppy or pretty or anything, and I'm not aligned with any sort of music or anything...I guess I'd just be a nerd, lol. Idk about ghetto people...I guess I could view them as people if I really tried, but their so annoying and obnoxious and selfish that I don't really want to try...which is hypocritical on my part but...

its human nature. can't fool it, can't confuse it, can't change it. Can't change people either. Hopefully those we don't like will grow up, as being an obnoxious highschooler is a common phase, and those who don't will just get a bite of Karma at some point.

*wishes very badly that human nature could be confused into thinking it was good instead of mean and uncaring most of the time*

our school is a country school n.n but they are sooo into sports! i am a nerd, country girl, redneck (if ya will) and an artists wow what a combo xD

cool. my school's a sports school to XP we beat a lower school in all football games and they come and spray paint our cafeteria. such sore losers. country, nerd, and artist is awesome I'm hippie, dork, punk, goth, in order from greatest to least, plus artist

awesome n.n our wrestling team is pretty good and so is our volleyball and basketball team (girls of course for the "ball" ones the boys kinda stink at it xD)

thats because girls are smart and coordinated. guys have skulls as thick as their muscles

totally true

LOL! Yeah...I be geek, dweeb, nerd, noob, and in most other cases just plain weird. lolz

wierd is good

ARGH!!! *comes in fuming and smoking at the ears* I am so frustrated right now! I'm trying to find a book that I read like three years ago and it was really really good, but I cannot for the life of me remember the title or the author or anything! Argh!!

what was it about or who was a character? was itfiction or non fiction....

if you know enough about the storyline and characters, it should be easy enough to look up on google or something

it was fiction, aout a girl who went to live with her aunt, and she met two girls who ran a burger store and a guy who was an artist. The main subjects I guess were a lunar eclipse, sunglasses, and flip-flops. I remember a lot more, but it's just random stuff, and I looked it up on google and it was TOTALLY unhelpful!

sry's never heard of it....

can't help you there...I haven't read many books, believe it or not, something I'm trying to resolve. I hope you remember it though

I know it is rather obscure but....*really really wants to find it*
