wow i likes this one's color and the wings perhaps you could shade the front right hand a little darker because it seems to blend with the other one.... i likes this it is quite the unique one

This one is very good, the detail, pose, and anatomy all work very well together. The only issue I have is that the wing should be connected farther down the back, but tis a small issue versus a very awesome dragon!

holy shoot u noobs are pretty darn good already!

Thanks catc and Rana. I notice quite a bit more wrong with it now...especially the wings. Not much good for flight if they get ripped off, huh? LOL...and thanks Serenity.

Oreo was there when you started coloring this one. I remember you adding the scales and such. Very beautiful. And powerful.

Thank you, Oreo!...I remember that too! lol...I was experimenting with gel pens...

Yep, and I think it turned out pretty darn good. . . .

It did! I especially like the variation of shade between the neck and the body

LOL...thanks you guys. I wanted to switch the colors so it wouldn't all be one solid color...it would be kind of boring if it was

Well, you definitely did a great job.

Thanks, Rana. Have you uploaded anything new? I haven't gotten the chance to really look around...

Ah...no, not really. I will as soon as I get my sketbook back though, and can find the camera to get all the pictures.

Very cool...looking forward to it!

I actually drew a pic of Mizu with its origins and powers described on either side. I think it's pretty awesome, but I'll wait for you guys to judge it.

You guys (oops, girls ) do have powerfull forms or weapons! Acylius is not really powerfull himself, he's more a kind of alchemist than a warrior, and absolutely not a sword expert, but he can use his scepter in case of need

@ Rana: Yay! Now I get to see Mizu close-up! I love swords...and any other kind of pointy object made for killing people...I like scepters too. Cuz they're cool-looking.

Well...i'm not sure. @Tempest: Will you accept sword designs if the have a vague wing formation on the hilt of them to count as a draconic trait?

It's hard to say, it depends on the overall look.

*sigh* Alright, I'll email it to you, and if it doesn't work, I'll add the dragnix logo.

*huggles Rana* I's so happy you're putting it on...well...attempting to.

You forget, I have to find the camera first, and then upload them, and all that stuff, all when my sister doesn't have the computer. This could take several days of effort due to my chronic laziness, lol! But, I shall try, just not tonight, b/c iz far too late.

this ones good i like him... cool green color!

And purple! DOn't forget the purple!!!

i luves purple it all MUST BE PURPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

But...it's already been colored, and the green is cool too...

Is okies, Rana. I'll wait. I hope...LOL. I love PURPLE! It's my favorite color. I started with purple, as you can see...but I ran out and had to switch to some other color that looked vaguely dragonish. And I thought "Green would probably go okay with purple." So...yeah.

Ah, ok. Anyway, if I can find the camera and the picture, I could possibly get the picture today! ^-^

w00t! *huggles Rana*

*didn't make it* I had to go job-hunting, that took up all day... Me sorryz!

Is okies...

But...no job-hunting today so maybe I can do it today!

Good, good! I can't wait for Sunday!

I can't wait to see your self-portrait!

just got out of school today Dx blargh...now i have no excuse...i must start drawing....

Thanks Rana! Ooh...school's out! w00t!!! You have no excuse for procrastination at all, Serenity. Yes, draw! Iike your stuff.

i just dont know what to do first...i have a whole list of things to draw but i have no idea which to start with...

Innie, Minnie, Mynnie, Mo...

lol...i think i'll end up working on a dozen piccies at a time...

That's what I do too...it works...LOL

hey! NO FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't get out for another week! @ Silveera LOL i does that too im CURANTLY working on like 10 pieces xD

No, that's not fair at all... I still have 2 exams to pass next week, and it's always RAINING!!

I lurves the rain! And I've been out of school for a while so NYA! LOL! Good luck with your exams though, I'm sure you'll do well.

You would certainly NOT love the rain if it was raining EVERY TWO DAYS

Actually, it's been raining practically every other day at my place and I still love rain! ^-^

I love rain too! Especially thunderstorms

Ooooh! Thunderstorms are the best! I love just curling up in bed and listening to the thunder peal all around me. Of course, our dog ruins it by going bonkers the whole time, lol!

thunderstorms rule. i luv running around as the thunder rolls, the lightning flashes, and the wind and rain is pelting lil bullets at me

Mmm...I don't actually like being in the middle of it, but I do like listening to it.

meh...drives me nuts when im sitting in school and theres a big ol thunderstorm right outside i need to be out there in it! xD

LOL...that rocks, Serenity. Back down south where I used to live, a lightening storm wouldn't be something to run around in

I guess it would be cool to run around in it and stuff but...lightning kinda scares me...just a little bit. That's why I like to be all cuddled up when it's lightning outside. I do, however, love to be in the middle of a drizzle or light rain...or even a heavy rain so long as it isn't lightning.

A drizzle and light rain would be great! But I agree...lightening scares me too.

But...you control lightning somewhat! How can you be scared of that which you control?

I can only control it a little bit...harnessing the real thing would freak me out!

No kidding. Real lightning, even if it doesn't scare someone, is still so awesomely powerful!

*nods* Um hm...*gulps and looks at hand*

*tilts head* what?

My claws control so much...it's crazy to think how much devastation I could create if I ever got out of control...*flexes claws and looks away*

*starts fiddling with some matches* yep...but i likes fire...8] playing with fire fun *cough* like am doing right now with my brother *cough* ^^

LOL...be careful now...hehehehehehe...

@Serenity: Have you ever read Inkheart? If you have, I'm sure you like Dustfinger then.

Dustfinger is sooo cool. I love his pet.

IT WOULD BE SOO COOL IF WE COULD go out and buy one of those!*jumps up and down like a fan girl*hemeheehe!

They like socks...a lot...LOL

I know, I love the little marten thingys. But I have to say, my honest-to-goodenss favortie character in that sereis is Farid. *fangirlheartsquee* He's so cute...I love him so much!

I like him he is kinda cute

Kinda cute?? He's adorable!!! *huggles farid to squeeze the breath out of him*

Again sorry to cut in. Ya know Zephyr, i love when you use color, this one is absolutley beautiful!

You...interrupted...my fangirl adoring of farid?! How dareth you?! XD Just kidding just kidding, lol!

*is fangirling in the distance inconspicuously the 300 guy* xD (even though he does die....)

@ Cntdraw: How often do you get on?! LOL...I'm almost always on here and I never see you! Thanks for the compliments LOL

Yeah, it seems like you just commented on a bunch of pics all at once. You can return again you know! lol!

Sniff...plus I wanna rpg with peoples...I'm really curious if Cntdraw has an alter-ego...

*wink wink* Rpg? I think I can help you there... IC: *Zephyr and Rana find themselves trekking across a huge desert, sandy and dry and hot as all get out* *Rana is losing energy by the second, but with the help of Mizu, she is able to barely pull through, until suddenly...*

OOC: w00t!!! IC: *Zephyr makes a grab at Rana and pulls her out of the way of a speeding dune buggy... * Didn't think we'd meet any freaking people not to mention traffic out here...

Somehow I get the feeling it was following us...come on! *rana pulls at Zephyr* We have to run! *Rana jogs forward a few steps, then collapses onto the sand, only to pull herself up and keep running*

Mind if I pick you up? *snags Rana and twirls into the air, riding on the rough updrafts of the intense desert heat* Sorry about the unceremoniousness of this...

*Rana droops in Zephyr's grasp, looking down at the desert floor, still disturbed by the dune buggy chasing doggedly after them* I wonder why they're following us *rana casually muses...the faints slightly in Zephyr's hold* *with a huge intake of breath, she revives again, but only long enough to say* I need a water source...I'm going to die out here without water...

*Zephyr uses dragon-sight to see past the evil mirages of the desert* If I'm not mistaken, there's a small oasis about ten miles away. We need speed. *holds on to Rana with both back and front feet* hold on to your false teeth...this is gonna get pretty crazy...*turns into wind-spirit, twisting like a pulled thread across the sky, making a two-minute mile* Gah...*looks at Rana* This isn't fast enough...hold on Rana! *puts on extra burst of speed, becomes almost transparent with the ferocity of the dragon-spirit being used, and finally spirals down into the oasis, only to pass out next to a pure water hole*

OOC: False teeth? What do you mean false teeth?! I'm a Varyen! We don't need false teeth! XD IC: *rana awakens next to the pure water oasis, and gleefully draws tons of water energy into herself* *looking around she sees Zephyr collapsed nearby* Oh no! *Rana draws a huge healing sphere from the oasis and holds it over Zephyr, calming her and relaxing and reviving her dragon spirit* *after a while, the healing is done, and rana pulls back the healing sphere* Alright, that oughta do it. Now to find out what those dune buggy people were after *she mentions as a slight distubance can be picked up far on the horizon*

*Zephyr nods and uses dragon-sight to peer into the distance again* It seems they're chasing after something...not us. *eyes open wide* They must be the Skigden (bad name...oh well) bounty-hunters! I've heard of their kind before! They'll round up ruthless criminals or do-gooders...it doesn't matter which. We just need to find out who they're after.

The Skigden? *Rana sighs* Oh crap...we had a branch of them up at Kietsu as well, they were always chasing after mythical creatures and stuff, cuz those sorts of creatures brought tons of money. *storing several tons of water energy into her emblem, Rana dashes off on a water tightrope* Come on, whatever they're chasing probably isn't good...

*Zephyr spirals into the air, keeping her dragon-sight active* Oh wow...just look at how many weapons the Skiggden (respelling) are carrying! The creature they're after can't be good at all...*flies higher* OH holy bleep! You need to see this! *dives down toward Rana and touches her on the shoulder, giving her dragon-sight* See that dust cloud up there by the salt flats? That's either a really big caravan or something a whole heck of a lot worse. *flies up higher again, leaving some dragon-sight power with Rana* It's a snake! Well, it looks like a snake from up here...

Oh no....*Rana dashes forward towards the dust cloud, just close enough to identify the creature, then races back, shaking her head* It's a Desert Basilisk, basically the deadliest creatures in the world. Those Skiggden don't stand a chance!

Is it true that only one glance from one of those creatures will kill you? If that's true, we have to keep a low profile if those ignorant Skiggden get too rambunctious. *hovers close to Rana* I think you know more about Desert Basilisks than I do...I know they can live several years without a good source of water, but that's about it.

Aye, they're also excellent at whipping up a huge sandstorm in just seconds, and they have a very poisonous bite. They are huge, but also fast and nimble, and no one really knows where their heart is (meaning, no instant stab kill, which is what the skiggden usually go for). Also, even though the desert basilisk does not control the desert element, it does exhibit the same strengths and weaknesses as the desert. For example, the basilisk will suck my water power just as much as the desert, and it will scatter before the wind just like desert sands. But here, I can block at least one of its attacks. *Rana takes a small tendril of water and places it across Zephyr's eyes, widening them to act like goggles* *then, adding a touch of truesilver, the water solidifies, clamping around Zephyr's head* There, a one way mirror. You can see through, but no one can see in. *after giving herself the same treatment, Rana dashes off on a water trightrope*

A wind/sand attack? *Zephyr follows Rana, twirling* I may be able to control that...thanks for the googles. They'll definitely come in handy...*adjusts the goggles just a bit* Plus I'm pretty fast, so I can dodge the basilisk's melee attacks.

*Rana shouts back* Be careful, it spits too! *as rana races along, she quickly hops off the water tightrope, sucking back all the water into her palm* *then, drawing Mizu with a flourish, she begins hacking away at the basilisk, trying to draw it's attention away from the skiggden* *The basilisk grows angered, thrashing about and striking with its huge poisonous jaw again and again* *Rana is able to dodge the attack, but only just barely, and she grows slower and slower after each dodge* Come on! We have to lead it back towards the oasis! I don't stand a chance out here!

*Zephyr blows up an enormous dustdevil, catching the basilisk in its wake* I know this is gonna make it really angry, but it's the only way I can move it without causing considerable risk for us. I don't know how long I can keep this up though...this is one ginormous snake. *Moves the dustdevil as near to the oasis as possible* There! Have at him! *Strikes at the basilisk with tail and claws, causing an open wound to appear behind its ear-hole* If we can send something through its skull, or sever its head from its neck, we're likely to win this battle.

*nods and dashes off back towards the oasis* *pulilng out a huge disk of water, Rana sharpens the edges until they're nearly molecule size, then dashes back to Zephyr, grabs her, and pulls her far away* Ok, here is our weapon, *holds out the water disc, still spinning furiously* I need you to electrify it so the basilisk won't absorb the water, and then we need to use this together to slice off it's neck, ok? If it gets too far away for me to keep control, you grab it and keep it spinning. The thing is going to thrash around a lot, so be careful, and don't expect to get him on the first strike. Just make sure the disc doesn't touch the sand or this chance is lost. Got it? Now come on, lets go! *Rana starts to run back to the basilisk when she hears the roar of the dune buggy behind her* *looking back, she sees three skiggden in the buggy, one driving, and two shooting blatantly at Rana and Zephyr* Oh c***. RUN!!!!

*spirals alongside Rana, carefully electrifying the water disc* This is really dangerous! I don't have complete control over electricity yet. *blows on disc violently, causing it to spin quickly* Okay, we fling it on three, k? *skiggden continue shooting at Rana and Zephyr, Zephyr is suddenly struck in the tail* *hisses* We need to hurry...I'm hit.

*rana flings a healing water needle at Zephyr's tail, grabs the disc and dashes off on a super-fast tightrope* *running past the basilisk, she turns back to slice through the basilisk's neck with the electrified disc, but before she can even move it the basilisk is charging at her, snapping with its huge jaws closer and closer* Yipes! *Rana flings the disc at Zephyr, and rushes back to try and deal with the Skiggden*

*needle hits right in the wound, healing it instantly* Whew much better *catches disk and twists toward basilisk* Okay, you sad excuse for a reptile! You are going DOWN! *hurls disc at basilisk's neck and pauses for a second* *basilisk turns just in time to have the disc impale its neck right behind the skull, disc penetrates all the way through, severing the spinal cord* *Zephyr hovers, shocked then pumps front fists into the hair* Heck yeah!

OOC: ... you killed it? Darn it and I was just starting to have fun too... IC: *Rana dodges the bullets easily flinging several water needles at the guns, destroying the guns and making them explode in the Skiggden's faces* *slowing down she reaches them just as they're trying to claw their way out of the dune buggy* Going somewhere fellows?

OOC:...it's not dead yet... IC: *basilisk head disintegrates into the sand and is replaced by a new one on the serpent's neck* Oh choplets...it's moving. *basilisk turns its head toward Zephyr and hisses angrily* I thought I got it! What the heck are you? Definitely not a normal basilisk, I suspect. *basilisk hisses* You understand me? *snake nods* Rana! There's something wrong with this snake! *creature starts to get smaller and smaller, eventually turns into a human about 6 feet tall* Oh my...

OOC: Dude, if you severe the spinal cord of anything it's going to die. IC: *rana looks back as Zephyr calls, and seeing the new human next to Zephyr, decides its the bigger problem* *throwing one lsat evil glare at the Skiggden, she takes off after Zephyr* *stopping beside Zephyr, she shouts at the human* Who are you!?

OOC: Not if the creature is not really what you think it is...in this case, the human was the creature, but he was a smart one. Smacking the head off the thing was about as bad as cutting your finger off to him. He kept his most vital organs away from the vulnerable part of the snake - the part where he knew we would most likely strike. IC: *human looks up at them and laughs* It's definitely a guy by how deep his voice is...*man scratches his head, says "Why is everyone after me today? Did I do something wrong?", and grins* We said, WHO ARE YOU? *man looks at us and laughs again, creepily, and says "No one of consequence. Just someone that seems to have an entire posse out to get him."*

*Rana lashes out with a water whip, just barely avoiding slicing up his face* You can transform yourself into a fully-grown and powerful desert basilisk, you are certainly someone of consequence, now tell us...WHO ARE YOU?!

*man slowly walks toward us* *"I doubt you've ever heard of my kind before. Legend speaks of men able to transform into any creature they see fit. I'm one of those men, and I'm worth a pretty penny. Evidently the Skiggden goons are out to get me cuz of that. Heck, if I keep running, they're bound to die out here if I don't kill them.* How do we know you're telling the truth? *man winks "I know people I can trust when I see them. Although you cut off one of my toes (lifts a bloody foot for us to see), I suppose I could forgive you for now. And by the way...have you taken care of the Skiggden yet?* No...we're a bit more worried about you right now. *"Why's that? If I had anything against you both of you would be nothing but dried carcasses.* Then why didn't you defeat the Skiggden in the first place? *I need their life energy. Oh, don't worry about taking care of them. Leave that to me. Meanwhile, you two just stay there and watch."* *man vanishes into the sand*

*is very confused* Did...that dude just say he trusted us? Aren't....aren't we supposed to protect the Skiggden?? Debuwhat?!?!?
