Artist's Comments

[full view or we'll eat your liver!]

How bout that, something not done with Adobe ^^ I've been doing armored dragons for a while at work, something to keep my attention when it struck me that Astar had a design that might be fun to draw in that matter. So here he is in a suit of armor, ready for something nasty ^^ of course, it was only after that I realized that his birdy skull and feathers were suppose to be tied around the two ajoining bones instead of just one x_X oh well I guess, overall, I enjoyed this work.

Done with .03 and .5 ink pens. The flesh is the heavly dotted shading, the metal simply has a few reflected lines and the cloth has the soft line to it. I love this sort of shading, it can keep me busy for weeks on end but talk about a hand killer, prepare for finger numbness ^^;
