Sketch page 955 further drakengard wyvern progress

Drakengard wyvern progress!  yeah... I changed it again.  The face was giving my trouble (because I made it up) so now I'm making it match up with a komodo dragon structure a bit more.  I think my color choices have improved since with all of these color studies.

here is the previous version

Drakengard progress - 2

 I made more progress on the Drakengard-style Dragon.  (I suppose technically it's a wyvern).

Looking at it again the wyvern's anatomy was very off so my progress for today was revising the design.  

First step: Drawing in new linework

Here it is, in its current state.  Chest is much larger.  Leg is more balanced.  Shrank down his head.

A size comparison for convenience sake

quick dragon sketch for tonight
.
Just painting up some dragons to get back into the swing of things!

Drakengard-Style

Trying out some paint ideas.

I've been on a huge Drakengard kick lately.  It's a very weird, very cool game with DRAGONS with crazy horns and tails.  I like it a lot. :)

I'm listening to the NieR (Drakengard's successor) soundtrack right now and trying not to cry because it is beautiful.  Seriously, go listen to it.

Sketch Pages 910 - 916

Hello!  I was in San Antonio for a while visiting my folks but I managed to find some to draw a few pages!

Sketch Pages 885 - 896

A bunch of old sketchbook pages.  There are more waiting to be scanned, too - well over page 900!  

So I accidentally found a better way to scan stuff.  Assuming that bloggers preview isn't wigging out on me, the dragon in the second image looks MUCH better compared to the rest!  I know exactly what I changed while scanning too so from now on I will be using the same process.  Hopefully, the scans will be better quality than they usual.

Work suddenly got pretty crazy so the shadow illustration is on-hold for a bit.  Here's a chubby dragon to illustrate how I feel! 

Sketch Page 846-853

 Totally going to paint up the magical dino later

Let Me See You

Painted up a dragon sketch for fun.

Sketch Pages 814-818

I can't believe I forgot to post stuff ;-; Dumb.  I have a few more small side projects to post - including a colored version of this dragon- that I will split up into several threads.

Stay tuned!

Sketch Pages 795-800!

 

800 PAGES FINALLY.  I can see a teensy bit of improvement just from all the drawing I've been doing at work but I can't help feeling bad when I think about how much improvement I could've made if I had just stuck with drawing everyday.  

I need to just punch myself in the head and draw every day. (okay, minus the punches to the head.  Concussions won't help me draw more often.)

 The tumor kid above is from one of my paralysis nightmares.  I'm glad I'm done with those.

 Yes, that is a goat being chased by a flying, fiery twinkie.  No, I don't know why; it is a redraw from a very old sketch so who knows what it's about. :P

Sketch Pages 782-786

Wow I have not posted sketch pages for quite a while!  The earliest page that I didn't post was from clear back on May 15th.  

You know what's terrible?  These are all of my sketchbook pages from May.  Granted, I work at a place where I draw all day but that isn't personal work/studies.  This month I am going to try to quadruple my monthly page count- which won't be difficult considering last month's page count.
