More practicing with acrylics.

It's getting more fun, the longer I stick to it.
No specific soundtrack while drawing this time, I just put iTunes on shuffle, listened to podcasts, gamereviews and such stuff. And lots of Luca Turilli and Bloody Tears (Castlevania) in its MANY versions.

My God....I think this is my favorite of your works!!! I might cry it's so perfect!!!!! :"""0

The angle is beyond what words I even have to offer. This creature, also, is so majestic and sinister looking, yet in an almost harmless manner. So, sooo beautiful. Congratulations on this one, it's just perfect. :')

I even had whole stories floating around in my mind while drawing and painting it.

beautiful. i imagine that this could be a magic the gathering card.

drachenmagier Featured By Owner Aug 23, 2013 Professional Traditional Artist

Thanks! I wouldn't mind it on a magic card! 8D Though I guess the ratio is not right for that. d:

ShaunCochran Featured By Owner Aug 17, 2013

I noticed your work only yesterday and fell in love with it! I really, really enjoy how you work in traditional media; makes me want to get away from the digital stuff and get back to the ink and paint. Keep up the amazing work!

drachenmagier Featured By Owner Aug 19, 2013 Professional Traditional Artist

Thank you very much! I always love to hear it when I get people to grab a pen and paper. X3 Boosts my motivation in return~!

ShaunCochran Featured By Owner Aug 20, 2013

SapphireClaw Featured By Owner Aug 11, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

woah...

i don't think petting him is such a good idea... ouch...

drachenmagier Featured By Owner Aug 13, 2013 Professional Traditional Artist

XD Nah, might be a tad big for that. I guess you could try to pat a toe?

SapphireClaw Featured By Owner Aug 13, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Lol xD

Okay, I'll pet it's... Toe. xD why does that sound so weird and funny? Lets just hope he doesn't try to eat me. This pic is AMAZING

by the way!

drachenmagier Featured By Owner Aug 13, 2013 Professional Traditional Artist

No worries, crystallic dragons like that one live of silicium and sunlight.

And thank you!

SapphireClaw Featured By Owner Aug 13, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

^u^ hehe, crystallic dragon, huh? Cool name. :3 so it all sunshine and happiness? Yay! I wanna ride him!

drachenmagier Featured By Owner Aug 13, 2013 Professional Traditional Artist

I'm not sure if I would translate silicium to happiness, but whatever floats your boat? d:

SapphireClaw Featured By Owner Aug 13, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Oh... xD so he isn't a happy camper. Oh we'll, as long as I get to ride the epic dragon my boat shall stay afloat.

drachenmagier Featured By Owner Aug 13, 2013 Professional Traditional Artist

I think that should be possible. XD I just can't guarantee that the dragon will pay much attention to your commands when it comes to where to fly. XD

And who knows? Maybe silicium does cause Happiness?

beautiful contrast between the cubistic structure and the magnificently sculpted dragon. i also appreciate the choice of color, which gives the painting a smokey and cold feel.
