story sketch: dragon next door [update: 02-09-2012]

[meeks]

This is a sketch of Audrey, the human(oid) narrator of aldersprig's Dragons Next Door setting, talking to her neighbour Zizny Smith over the wall that separates their properties. This conversation is still ongoing, and continues in the black tower, the pumpkin, skeletons, rule three, and dwimors!

Nice! I love the reflection in Zinzy's eye.

[clare_dragonfly]

Awesome! I, too, love the reflection in Zizny's eye, and I also am impressed by the sense of size Zizny has, despite the small area of the picture.

Yay!

[ysabetwordsmith]

I love the reflection in the eye.

[aldersprig.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I love it!
Oh, Meeks, that's awesome!

I love the reflection of Aud in Zizny's eye! And the teeeeeeth!!

Marvelous! Love the reflection!

Ditto on the reflection!
When the (hopefully inevitable) cleanup happens, you might want to clarify whether those are flesh bulges or eyelashes over Zizny's eye.

[meeksp.livejournal.com]

hmm...there's a question: do dragons have eyelashes?

[rix_scaedu]

We should ask aldersprig?

[aldersprig.livejournal.com]

We should ask kelkyag ;-)

I think it is likely not, though

[kelkyag]

I just ask questions. meeksp beat me to this one. :)

I pictured the eyes the most like this - http://birdhouse.org/blog/2009/11/19/lizard-eyes/ - I think

I really liked how you drew focus to the eye, and the reflection within, using sharper details, placement, pattern and tonal contrast. Nice!

[shadows-gallery.livejournal.com]

Very nice! The dragon's face is very expressive.

[kelkyag]

Squee! I like the framing, and Zizny's horn structure. I'd be interested in seeing what you do with the scale structure/texture if you detail this further.

I may have to make big eyes for a picture of Aud at some point, or even a family portrait with Aud and Sage and the three kids -- seeing just her back here is right for the scene, but I want more!

I like the head-shape and the horns a lot. And I absolutely love the reflection of Audrey in the eye! Awesome!

[jjhunter]

Gorgeous.

Eee!

[aldersprig]

Eeeee! The scales are AWESOME! I can see the wall now, too, where Aud's hand is.

What's going on under Zizny's chin?

[kelkyag]

What's going on under Zizny's chin?

I think Zizny has its front-right claws up resting on the top of the fence?

[heavenscalyx]

Oh, the dragon's texture is gorgeous.

[clare_dragonfly]

Oh, this is looking fabulous! I love the detail in Aud's hair!
