*Note; I did use a reference to draw it.

Can anyone find something I can do better on it though? I think I may be a bit off in my shading, but I'm not sure. I'm going to put it in my story, but I want to make sure it's perfect first.

Very nice! You could try adjusting the levels/contrast a bit, so the white is whiter and the pencil is darker. Pencil drawings are tricky to digitize well, but you can probably get it a little clearer that way.

Yeah, I was planning on putting it through photoshop again to do the outlines, shading, color, etc. Fix it up a bit. I already had put it through, and got the outline finished, but when I pressed save, 'Photoshop quit unexpectedly' and I lost four hours of work.

Augh, that sucks! Photoshop is usually pretty reliable, too, as graphics programs go. >_<

I think it might be my computer. We've had it for about 10 years now, and it was unused for four of those years until my dad fixed it. It is rather behind on updates.

At a guess, your image might be too large? You could try resizing it before saving, if that's the problem.

Well, I did blow it up to be about 3,000 pixels high. Though I've done it to 4,000 before, and it saved just fine then.

This is why I save my stuff like every 10 minutes when I'm working with any program. 

I usually save 1st) when the outline is done. 2nd) when the texture/little details are done. 3rd) when the coloring is done. 4th) when the shading is done.

Nice giraffe.

*facepalm* It's not....nevermind.

dude its not a giraffe. god your dumb lol jk but sirisley its ?not

He was just making a joke because he's Coins/Spartacus; The local troll.

Also clear up your grammar, spelling, and capitalization. I'm the local grammar Nazi, and if you don't abide by my grammar laws, you get your guts blown to Kingdom Come.

Hiel, Chris!

lol i was just kidding and who r u

(Laugh out Loud I was just joking and who are you?)

Do please learn your grammar...

*Sigh* One of those God damned noobs, fresh outta the oven. I'm Chris, the local Grammar Nazi Troll, and a massive fan of Fallout. I have sadistic thoughts of rape, murder, torture, and cannibalism, I have a shit internet connection, and I have three other accounts, two of which were banned.

That answer your question?

Back down, Chris, this is my target! *Dramatic western music starts playing*

First come, first served, mate. *Western music stops*

*turns music back on*

How about we duel to decide this? *an actual duel...*

You mean as in rock paper scissors or Toggle?

RPS!

Iqqih solves the problem by beheading the new person ISIS style.

Thank God, we don't have to read the little shit's terrible grammar anymore.

So I won that duel for nothing?

I WILL PERSEVERE. ANOTHER DUEL FOR TWO POINTS.

I won again! MWHAHAHA.

Thou art won in Toggle, I applaud you good sir!

Thank you, my good man. I apologize for telling you to suck my dick via PM.

You still lost 5 points sucka!

No problem, considering the amount of profanity I've seen and have been called on the internet... this be nothing, my good man!

With all the things I've been called on the internet, I concur.

We ride at dawn.

How about we joint strike people with bad grammar, you're the bad cop(grammar nazi) and I'm the good cop(grammar paragon)

Once again, I concur. We shall burn alive those who sin clean CYS of horrible grammar.

Could you link me to a few stories with bad grammar, so that I may burn them in a holy fire purge them?

This one, this one, and this one.

The first one is done. I will commence on to the next!

oh cool

Eh, go fuck yourself kid.

Only three? You sure about that?

*Heil

How the tables have turned...

That's not the Nazi symbol.

That's the Grammar Nazi symbol...

Damn WC fans need to learn the internet.

I have burned the horrible games in holy fire purged the games... that felt good!

Good... Good. Let the grammar flow within you.

I am, and now I can smell see the words perfectly!

The WC flame in me is slowly dying... I finished the series and now I have nothing to read...

What a cruel world...

I thought you changed to a Grammar Paragon... Oh well, but its not likely I would know the Grammar Nazi symbol because I'm not one myself...

I'm a Grammar Rebel.

I am a Grammar Paragon, that's Chris' symbol not mine.

I see... a rebel. *pulls out flamethrower*

Burn in Hell you dirty Jew rebel!

*Purges Wolfmist with holy flamethrower*

*Reflects it because I am part Water-Type*

Well, I'm not a Jew, so I don't think you're talking to me. :3

*It burns you to a crisp because this isn't Pokemon*

I crossed out Jew. When you cross out Jew, it ain't shit in that post.

#LearnTheInternet

You might cross out Jew in the THREAD, but your profile shows your posts, and it doesn't cross out.

You can look at it like that if your smart enough.

*You're

Filthy rat.

*hits with Grammar Paragon hammer*

Die, you foul rebel!

*hits back with a waffle*

I AM A REBEL! I PROVED MY GIFTED ENGLISH TEACHER WRONG!

*Burns waffle alive*

You shall never go to college, filthy rat!

Heil, Grammar Hitler!

You're Hitler? Okay, go commit suicide! Isn't that what he did? I can't remember.

I said 'Heil, Grammar Hitler,' not 'I am Hitler.'

Filthy rat.

I'm not a rat, you fool, I am a dragon. Also, I believe that is 10 times more powerful than Grammar Hitler...

Is it more powerful than this?

Frick yeah.

*Fuck

There's place only for one Grammar Nazi and one Grammar Paragon, no more!

There's room for a harmeless litttle troll.

Well, France and Russia weren't strong enough to resist those guys...

Well, I am more powerful than France and Rus-

...

Woah...

It's more powerful than a fuck ton of these that are invincible?

(Is it more powerful than a fuck ton of these, that are invincible?)

Punctuation is also grammar, my friend.

Ah, go to Hell; we all make typos.

Calm down, I didn't say it was wrong. I only said IT WAS Wrong!

*wrong

Capitalization is grammar, my good friend.

This isn't part of the actual conversation my good friend.

Yes.

*evil smile*

In a matter of time, the dragon would eventually wear out, and considering these are robots that are invincible, one would easily slit the dragon's throat while it is resting

#Logic4Life

*turns into a dragon the size of Jupiter*

How about now?

*Summons Nazi Death Star*

This is it!

*Summons another Nazi Death Star full of 100,000 of the invincible robots*

We shall kill them all!

Get ready to smash that planet sized Grammar Rebel!

I will squish you all and throw you into the Sun!

We are Sun-Proof and Fire-Proof and... *5 weeks later*... and finally, Time Distortion-Proof!

Well, you never said Dragon-Proof! *eats them all*

I said that on the third day!

*Smashes it with tail and burns it*

Wait, we're in space aren't we? Forget the part about the fire.

One does not simply smash the Death Star *shoots it*. Then there's also that thing called gravity, your tail wouldn't move that fast without some sort of propulsion.

It is propulsed by my factor of awesomeness.

One does not have that level of awesomeness to propulse it. Also, you were disintegrated by the sun.

The Death Star is only immune to spaceships, mate. And since you're a dragon, you can't fly a spaceship, and you cannot hire anyone due to their fear of you.

*Sits on the Sun*

Whatever, I'm getting bored. More epic, please!

*Sun disitngrates you because that's actual logic*

Don't sit on the sun unless you're larger than it. I think that God learned that lesson. Oh wait, he doesn't exist!

(*Sun disintegrates...*)

Are you feeling ok, my friend?

Fuck, I forgot to fix that typo. Besides, a typo every now and again is alright.

Not for a grammar nazi!

Watch this my good friend, all of it!

Shit, I have failed Grammar Hitler.

I am bigger than the Sun. I've grown since that post where I grew to the size of Jupiter, and then I ate Jupiter.

Jupiter is much smaller than the sun... plus it's mostly formed of gasses and little actual solid matter.

Ah, but I grew.

Look, mommy! I grew bigger in the last five minutes!

That's what he said.

(Ah, but I grew!)

(Look, mommy! I have grown bigger in the last five minutes!)

And you even call yourself a Grammar Rebel!

Yeah, I rebel against Grammar Nazis!

What? You didn't know that from the beginning?

Even so, you need to have some sort of good grammar to be even able to fight us!

I'm getting hungrier. Anyone know where a Galactic Burger King is?

Yeah, right up your arse! *Shoots Wolfmist's head off*

*Gunshot does nothing*

My head is too big for you to shoot it off. Science, my friend, science!

(My head is too big for you to shoot off)

*Grows to gigantic size* Burn in Hell! *Shoots Wolfmist in the head with an enlarged shotgun*

Gigantic is only a hundredth of my size. *Grows bigger* Now it is a thousandth!

*Grows 2X Infinity larger*

Now I am better!

*Grows 10x®€¥°{?^?^ (Yes, that's a number) bigger than Claw*

Wanna bet?

*Grows a thousand times larger* Haha, go to Hell! *Shoots Wolfmist in the head with a shotgun of the same size*

*Shoots fireball the size of the galaxy, and everything explodes. It all compacts into one atom*

*Picks up atom* I think we went to far...

Damn right we went to far, we exploded the universe!

(...we went too far...)

Ha!

Damn, Chris! Why didn't you pay attention!

Fuck you, bitch!

Calm down, we are on the same team here!

(... Does anyone know where a Galactic Burger King is?)

The slightest mistakes can kill you friend!

(And you call yourself a Grammar Rebel!)

You made a grammar mistake, my friend. *Hands Claw a pistol* We both know what you must do.

You have made several mistakes... yet, we must learn from our mistakes so that we can purge the rest of this site from bad grammar.

Correct, my good friend. Let us feast on the souls of those who oppose us.

You can't eat Jupiter, it's a massive mixture of gas with some pieces of rock. and even if you did, you wouldn't grow in size at all.

Oh well, I ate it. *Wipes mouth with napkin* It was delicious. I wonder what Saturn will taste like...

Same deal, but it'll take more robots and a lot longer to tire you out. Alternatively, since this is Earth, you'd knock Earth, Venus and Mercury into the sun with your size, disintegrating us all.

Just summon the Nazi Death Star mate, it will kill it!

(I have proven my gifted English teacher wrong!)

You are no match for me!

That's strange, I did that, and it auto corrected...

My tablet doesn't know grammar...

Your tablet must be burned in the holy fire of holy grammar of holiness. Hand it over!

Glady. *hands over fake tablet filled with gunpowder*

*Shoots Wolfmist with shotgun*

Die, you filthy rat.

Gotteslästerung

?Hand over the real tablet!

German, right?

Okay fine... *hands over a real tablet*

No, it's old world English.

*Repeatedly shoots tablet*

*takes out my tablet and writes on CYS*

Hehehehe...

iqqih beheads IPad Isis style
 

Indeed, filthy rat.

Nice! I wish I could draw like that. Would you...upload some more?

Here. There are several many other pictures that I've done there. None of them are this good though. Sorry it took me so long to find it though.

Thanks, I just had a look at them all. I particularly liked your Wolf drawing (the darker one). Do you do any painting?

Thank you. ^-^

No. X_x I'm horrible at painting, unless it's with glaze on a clay figure.

That's really, really good.  Is it supposed to be stepping on it's face or scratching?

It's standing on a rock and the head is swung out closer to the viewer, which is why the head is almost as big as the body.

I like it.  I just wish it were darker...

Yeah, the original was much darker, but photo booth doesn't really get contrast that much, and it blurs everything.

Awesome!

If only I could draw like that...

Nice drawing man! I can't draw worth crap despite my best efforts to change the fact. So I appreciate good drawings.

Hugo! why you no say hi to me D:

*facepalm* It's not....nevermind.

Don't worry, Taco. I think it's a lovely Japanese rape-creature. 

Not as good as some of my own drawings, but it's still rather well-done. A nice level of shading all around as well as a clear distinction between depth and distance of the viewer to the drawing. I won't bother nitpicking all the little details because I'm pretty sure you know what those are (or they may have been put in intentionally), so all in all, great work!

No no, the little nitpicks are most welcome! That was the reason for me asking for any critiques.

I... Can't see it...

*Adjusts screen*

Oh, now I see it! Well, great drawing, you get a gold star!

>_> Yeah, working on that. I'll post the much better version with contrast&color later when I finish. Much easier to see it then.

Well, when you do that, you'll get another gold star!

Magnificent dragon. xD

Hurray! Someone actually thinks it's a dragon instead of a giraffe or a goat. XD

I have the basic colors. Still got to do all the tiny details though, and shading.

Slightly disturbing in color, but another gold star for you!

Everyone always fucks up the head.  XD

What'd I mess up?

The head XD

I mean, what did I mess up on the head? 

A little flat, but hey!  I cant do this well either.

Yeah, I was going to fix that in the shading&detail section. The spikes on the head are supposed to be looking to be curving inwards, and much more rounded.

Nice Octogator you got there.

Nice Drawing!

This is going to take much longer than I thought. X_x

It has taken me 2 hours just to get the scales on the face and sliver of the neck. 

After five hours of work on this picture, I found a simple tool that allowed me to do a better job in five minutes. X_x  -_-

Lol, how perfect.

Regardless, you still have to do detailing on the wings lolol.

That'll take a fraction of the time that I was used for the scales before I found the new tool.

Necro! 

Sorry, didn't think a new thread would be appropriate since there's already a thread on it.

So, do you think I put too much fog in? 

A giraffe in a sauna. Brilliant.

I can't even see the fucking details.

So yeah, too much fog.

The 'fucking' details? I didn't know you were interested in dragons that are about six times your size.

Goddammit, now innocence lost is making fun of me!

I didn't know that Briars_Rose's story could make fun of people either. XD

T_T

What does 'T_T' mean?

I am not amused.

T_T

Also, I didn't put on most of the details from the original post anyway. The only details you're missing out on is the scales, and those were a bit hard to see even without the fog.

It looks pretty cool. Thumbs up from me!

What you could do is fog up the limbs and stuff in the back, and then make the eye and teeth glow.

How do I do that?

Make the fog heavier on the more drawn-back parts of the body.

I mean, how do I make it glow?

Make a top layer, and then on the eye make a patch of a really bright color.  You could from there look up how to use glow effects, or as how I did it, use the airbrush tool with higher sensitivity and progressively smaller sizes as I reached the center.

Okay. Thank you. :)

The red/gray thing outlined in black on the face in the latest colored version.

Is this better? (why does that red line keep popping up at the bottom?)

A winged giraffe in mist. 

Okay, okay, I get that the neck is really long. Deal with it.

That giraffe is licking himself. 

*facepalm*

At least I can see it now. But that's an amazing giraffe dragon.

I added in some extra shading as well. I'm trying to have the light source looking like it's coming from the mouth, but I'm not sure how to do that properly.

I have no clue. This is the best thing I've ever drawn:

Did you do that with the opposite hand?

It was intentionally bad.

Plus it was made in MS Paint.

...

I hate those computer paint programs. I prefer to draw with pencil, where I can make it lighter and darker with a flick of a wrist.

Plus, I'm not allowed on the computer as of now.

gtfo and study.

Study what exactly?

Pretty much every drawing of mine was made in MS Paint. I can only really draw stick figures IRL, but I've been told my art is good. I can really convey emotions with facial expressions, I can tell a story without even saying a word, and all this through stick figures.

My MS Paint stuff is shite though.

Everything I draw on computer paint programs winds up to look like a chicken nugget.

I've drawn chicken nuggets before.

Of course you have...

Everyone draws chicken nuggets.

Not me.

You have no sense of art.

So this  is better than this? or this

or this?

Yes.

You're a chicken nugget.

You know, I didn't even look up chicken nuggets for that first pic. I looked up drawings of poo and it looked close enough to chicken nuggets that I thought I could pass it off as one. Turns out I was right. XD

As I said, Malk is a chicken nugget.

Give it up for TacocaT for a lovely demonstration!

Ugh, the last one...

But you're wrong.

#ChickenNuggetsFTW

I saw that edit. 

And the last one was the only one that I drew out of the pictures in that post. XD

*Puts on sunglasses* No you didn't. *Men In Black flashy thing*

#Gud4U

That drawing was decent, but the arms and shoulders were off in size and placement.

Really? I thought it was the hair that was off. The arms are being cut off by 1) boobs 2) unnatural hair.

Heh, boobs.

And that hair is weird.

Nah, the hair's fine, but it could use a bit more detail.

Well, I don't anymore. I'm too busy drawing dragons, Pokemon, griffons, Ornithodon, more dragons, more Pokemon, and strange monsters.

Take a flashlight and put it near a bumpy surface. Then look closely at the shadows.

Make it lighter around the mouth, taking knowledge of the 3D look of this drawing. Try to get the shading right, or it would be a mess.

And remember, always keep in mind what you want it to look like, so you have a basic idea of what to do.

Can you describe the drawing, I will tell you based on your description what needs to be fixed. Thanks.

I'm curious about what you could do traditionally though.  The shading and textures seem largely unfinished in the rough draft.  o3o

I did shade and texture in the rough draft though. XD
