Well then…seems like I've just gone into a full circle huh? Only difference here really is the gem placement.
But ya know what, I'm happy. Yes, I know, I say that a lot with the other forms I've been in so it's kinda lost it's meaning.
But honestly, out of the other forms I've made and been in, this one is the most unique one I've ever come up with. Furred, purple and silver, classic dragon withs, body gems that can draw in mana [[magick fuelz]] and triple as night lights and mood stones [[by that I mean they glow when I'm happy and dull when I'm depressed]]
Really, the only problem was that my gems used to be on my arms and I had a big honking one on my snout and my chest. which mean less options for clothing if I wanted, so I was just limited to a jacket. Strange how getting out of your "comfort/used to zone" can help things out. It's much more simple in comparison, but it grew on my very quick. [[Course I did get help from Goodras, but the gem placement was all I really took, since if you look, I was sort of a pre-goodra…just without the slime, yuck. And I'm full of myself]]
Now then, this piece was done by
\n\t\t\t\t\tneozcommish 's amazing hands. Truthfully I was having a reference done for my weird \r\n\t\t\t\t\t| \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t | \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tss\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t | \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
How much of an ass did I feel when that wasn't the case. But being awesome as she is, she still said alright with a smile and told me to let her know when I have the changes.
For the past week or two, I've asked the help of my dear friend
\n\t\t\t\t\tdmshade and \n\t\t\t\t\tfatalglory128 to collab with me via join.mes to get myself to where I wanted to go much faster, since apparently I can design great things for other people, but not for myself. So I let the decisions of the two people I trust most guide me. First it was the clothing and scars for my humanself that would translate into my dragon self [[which is completely balls to the walls awesome, lookatthathat! LOOK AT IT!! So boss! That hat!]]There was actually a lull in between the join.me and I decided to make things easier using photoshop to put the hundreds of pre made layers I had into easy to deal with groups. By that time I had already chosen what I wanted, but I waited for their opinion anyway. It was kinda hilarious their choice was almost the same as mine, besides the color and slightly different wing type and spike/gem placement. When I showed them my choice,
\n\t\t\t\t\tfatalglory128 dive bombed for it, and \n\t\t\t\t\tdmshade 's not exact words were, "I was all for 2 until you showed me 1…now I'm torn" [[IE, this form was 1]]So that slightly boost my confidence some, that MY style of choice can still turn heads, heh.
When I had my crappy ref ready, I showed it to
\n\t\t\t\t\tneozcommish who quickly got to work on this in mere days with constant emails to each other, holy crap I would love to learn artz from her! And while I was ready to pay the difference since I did make her completely start over, she didn't charge me at all.Wow…just…wow.
\n\t\t\t\t\tneozcommish , you are just so awesome beyond any kind of words. But I'll still be waiting on that invoice, just in case, heh…While obviously my own stuff is not going to match this EVER, it's still a good goal to work towards [[whenever I have time and desire to draw that is, hah]]
But for now, the Maldonian is back baby, and better than ever! [[Warning-disclaimer says this form might not be better than ever, but we still hope you enjoy it anyway]] *ROARS*
