I finally got all of my dragons inked and ready for display. All I need to do now is color them. I just thought I'd throw it up here ;D<br><br>

Thanks, I'm still working on the style though. Trying to find something that I can replicate at a constant <:}

Also, would anyone know of a good photoshop/painter tutorial on metallics?

Lovely collection of dragons you've got there, you've got skills! Can't wait to see the colorized version!

Thanks :} Since these are metallic dragons, I wanted to find a turtorial on metals. I have done metallic like work before, but it's not up to the standards I'd like(in my opinion). So, I'm looking around for some spiffy metal tutorials for photoshop before coloring them ;)

I had, actually, a difficult time coming up with a semi original idea on them. I didn't want them to be a look alike of the D&D goldies, but I also didn't want them to not look plausible either. I tried to get ideas from the little gliding draco's (http://www.accessexcellence.org/21st/TL/sly/sly_imgWin22.html) since the wheywhey is a glider.

As far as anatomy goes, I took the simple liberty of drawing the skeletal structure of my golden dragons (Mechaelen and Eland) then adding the musculature. So it REALLY helped when redrawing all these fun critters :}
