At last! I have achieved 50 post status, and can finally open up my very own threads! HUZZAH!

Anyhoo, I think I'll begin with a little series I started on my home site of Neoseeker. I had been seeing all these nifty websites with "Anime Kitty Adoptions" and such, so I thought I'd combine my love of Japanese animation with my love of dragons for my own version of said sites!

Thus I present, "SerialZero's Anime Dragon Adoption"!

Here are the pieces I've finished so far from the requests I recieved on Neo:

Kagome (Inuyasha)

Currently, I'm working on an Ilpalazzo dragon from Excel Saga. All of the dragons shown above, and any I'll be working on/posting in the future are up for adoption. So feel free to add them to your profiles, websites, etc. Just be sure to credit them to me somewhere.

OMG!so cute and so funny yet it amazes me how you drew these...what did you use for coloring?

Thanks bunches! I used Prismacolor pencils, and the occasional gel pen for details & highlights.

Oh yeah, and I'm more than happy to take requests from Otaku Fridge members, just bear in mind that I already have a gigundus list of requests from Neoseeker already, so it may take me awhile to get to them.

Those are nice. :ok: That Vash one looks cool.

Thanks again! Now, the following drawings/sketches aren't related to my adoption program, but they're dragons nonetheless, so I thought I'd show them off anyway...

Holy Crap!

Those look exceptionally great! Very gothic/medieval, with a little spice of humor in it!

Very nice work dude!

The blue one among the three new ones looks real nice and kick arse.

whoaaah! nice dragons. VERY CREATIVE! :agree:

i really like the blue shiny one. the artwork itself is exceptional, ang the effects makes for great impact and sets a "tech" ambience. (those are cg effects, right? the emanating rays?, if they're not done on the comp, OH MY GOD!) :shocked:

and the one before that, the brown one, it reminds me of those dark ages wooden prints. very nice.


*is inspired to make dragons of his own* :sweatface:

that is, if it's okay with serialzero that i make dragons also :sweatface:
if i do make some dragons, i'll post them on the (ball)pen and ink thread, cause this is YOUR very own thread man! and a great first one at that :agree:

ZOMG FURRY!

jkjk, i don't really like the anime dragons, but the more dragon-like dragons you drew were kickass!

Thanks bunches, folks! Indeed, the effects on the first two dragon sketches were added with my Corel Photo Paint program.

Pssst! By the way, I'm a dudette! Hahahahaha...

Anyhoo, here are some illustrations from my Inuyasha fanfic, Corpus Draconis;

hahahah! my bad! :sweatface:
nice work dudette! :agree: :biggrin:

Here's my newest piece;

He's a draconic youkai gargoyle based on one of the characters from the original anime story my pal Daisy and I have been writing, the link to which can be found in my signature.

Some tribal dragons;

These two new ones look nice, I like the first one. Was the sea horse looking one influenced by Fruits Basket in any way?

The tribals looks good...The first one look like a wyvern.

That second tribal one might do for a fine tatoo :smile:

Actually, that second dragon tribal DID make a fine tattoo, LOL. My friend Heath is sporting it on his right leg as we speak, HUZZAH!

Anyhoo, here are a few more draconic pieces;

I like a lot the first one, some leather accesories (i. e. an armband) and a weapon (i. e. a blaster) might make it even more interesting IMHO.

Not a bad idea! I might have to go back and do another version of that taking your suggestions into play...

In the meantime, here's a logo I designed for a Golden Oaks Foods matchbook-style sampler packet;

This new one looks nice, fire effects are well done. :clap:

Beautiful images. I could never draw those! That seahorse-ish one would make a wicked chess piece. I just thought of that, don't know why, but it'd look cool. :smash:

those are just damn cool! :clap:

i like the latest one best, the one that is patterned after eastern dragons and fire..

Thanks so much, everyone! :biggrin:

Here's a practice watercolor painting I did of a chocobo, which I then jazzed up with Corel Photo Paint;

[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/serialzero/Artwork/ChocoPaint.jpg[/img]

Looks more like a Phoenix, guess it's because of the background. :sweatface:

Um yeah, that or just is an EVIL chocobo, it's cool :ok:

As for the logo, I have no words :shocked:

i like the dragontaur,has nice colouring and a very good shadowing,also like the base set of ur azuri sketch,should work it out in colour,if anybody's interested,i found these really beautifully drawn comics,well,more like art-strips,some might already have heard of them, they're called Warlands,i currently have the age of ice and darklyte,u guys should check the colouring/shading on those images,i got lots of inspiration from it :)
