Description
I've got some explaining to do with this little guy. Five years ago (I think), when my dragon obsession was in top gear I was also a bit obsessed with Pokemon. Now, what I'm into has a serious effect on my imagination and my interests kinda got mixed together. So I ended up drawing loads (and I mean loads) of dragons that were different elements (electric, fire, ground, water, you get the idea), and somehow this little fella came into being. A somewhat embarrassing phrase in my creativity but hey, I was only 12 (the original pic's a shocker when you compare them. I think I might stick it in my scrapes sometime).About him:- basically he's part thunder, part fire. Fits quite well when you think about it. His sub-species name (I like to think of those elemental dragons I drew as sub-species) is pronouned 'sir-gone-doe', don't ask - I came up with it walking between lessons in year 8. His name is pronounced 'Tee-O' - since he's been in my head for 5 years I think he as least deserves a name.
Sorry for rambling, just enjoy.

Very nice job here! The design of the dragon is original, and I love the colors and shading. Also, I like the fact that this is a friendly-looking dragon; those are my favorite.

That's okay. I'll still proabably like the design; you do great computer art. By the way, how do you get your airbrush works so crisp-looking and smoothly-shaded? I'm pulling hairs trying to do that!

I just select the outside of the sketch in Photoshop, invert the selection, and fill it with the base colour. Then I lock the transparency in the layers pallete (it's the checked button towards the top). Of course I keep all the different parts (body, belly, eyes) on a seperate layer. If that sounds too confusing, don't woory, I'm thinking of making a tutorial of the making of my lastest pic. It'll be clearer in that.
