Sil'thaera's Art Thread >n.//.n<
Wowza. Been a while since I was on this site! Anyhoo, thought I'd return with a 'DON'! (Yeah, I been watching waaaay too much 'One Piece' lately XD).
So, I'll be posting some of my pics here whenever I get a chance. This will be the SAFE thread, obviously; I'll make another one NSFW in the appropriate forum for those of ya who want to see something bit more nawty ;p
That said, here's my first pic! (Hope the attachment works! Btw, how many attachments can I post per thread? Is there a limit?
In case you're wondering about her looks, she's a hybrid. Her mother was a Lake Serpent (think classic sea-snake dragon, with no limbs/wings whatsoever) and her father was a Cragg drake (think classic Western dragon); so Sil inherited her serpentine length, bodyshape and crest/frill (which are actually external gills, so she can breathe underwater) from her mother, and her forelimbs and wings from her father (though the webbed fingers are another trait from mom). I call her a (winged) 'naganess' - that's naga (Greek for 'serpent') plus dragoness. She's at home on both land and in water, and is a fairly good flyer as well, being a bit more acrobatic and flexible than 'regular' dragons. She's about 22m in length from snout to tail, and her coils are incredibly strong and flexible; she prefers eating fish and crustaceans, but she doesn't mind a treat or two of land beasties, and has a bit of a sweet tooth for berries! She's also a very curious and playful 'ness...

Looks cool! I think the straight horns, punky crest and earrings go very well together.

Just a quick note: nāga is a Sanskrit word (meaning cobra and also referring to a snake diety). The ancient Greek word for snake on the other hand is ὄφις (óphis), and the modern Greek equivalent is φίδι (phídi)

Hey, Sil! Long time no see. Welcome back.
I remember seeing that pic of yours on FA. Still loving the spiky head fin. Kinda like a mohawk.

Re: Sil'thaera's Art Thread >n.//.n<
Hehehe, thanks for the comments so far, lol. Mohawk, indeed!
On to pic number 2:
Sorry for small image size, I seem to have misplaced my original file somewhere - whoops! Silly Sil.
As you can see, I was still into the 'anime' (or 'cel') style of shading - definite shadows, 'hard' lines, no softness -, still trying to work out my style; I stayed with that style for quite a few pics, until I found some other method I preferred, though I'm still experimenting with things!
Hah! Found pic number 3! Wondered where this one was hiding, lol. I was in a bad mood when I scribbled this one out.

I'm observing that colouring method. that "... 'anime' (or 'cel') style of shading - definite shadows, 'hard' lines, no softness..."
Very simple, still looks good.
