Reptile Art

[Spindown]

Some of my realistic ink art, based off photos but all free hand
(i know the heads are a bit off...these are very old)





and a dragon just because its pure ink too

Thats a pretty good boa.

[Nae]

Aaaaw, the dragons adorable!!!

I really should get some new inking pens...

[Spindown]

The left wing is a little funky because its getting matted over.

[Nae]

Ooo, very nice~! It reminds me of the Eragon book covers! I especially like the horns.

[Spindown]

thanks! it was loosely based on one of my old dragons, decided to redo it.

WOW!! I wish I was both talented and patient enough to draw like that!

[Spindown]

thanks
They are definitely time consuming, but worth it. I cant wait to get them matted and framed. They will be going on my reptile room walls.
I just wanted to show myself that i can do more than silly little doodles for shirts

[Spindown]

Crested Gecko! This guy was fun!

If you have been following the tattoo thread, you'll know that I am considering a dragon tattoo - Well I decided to have a go at designing myself one! (The tattooist would be able to take it and make it awesome, right? Is that how they work?)



Now to stare at it daily for a few months to ensure I like it %100

[Spindown]

nice dragon Nae...i dont think the tat artist will have to do anything to it
now if i could only design my back piece...stupid birds (they are hard)

[Nae]

Thankyou *A* I love dragons, and thats the first out of many that Ive tried to draw that actually turned out any decent! Im actually incredibly happy with it! Id say the tattoo artist could do something though, even if its just making it clearer - I only have 3 pencils (all my others have disappeared! Q-Q) so Ill draw something, shade it, then all the detail is lost and I just cant seem to define it enough!

I love drawing birds What sort of design did you have in mind?

[Spindown]

yeah the tat artist might have a better idea of how the small scales will be, just because skin is such a unique medium, but thats all i see them changing.

I want a Phoenix and a Canadian Goose in a circular format facing each other, i just cant get the wings to fit together in a nice way. Either one of them is covering up the other, or one of them has to be upside down X_X
any help would be appreciated, even just a quick base positioning sketch would be cool. I'm getting much better at wings.

Its a wierd tat, but its very meaningful for me

[Nae]

And now for me to try something completely different!

For someone whose weak spot is symmetry, this was mind boggling x_x



(Sorry for the dodgy photo! I shall scan it...One day...)

[Spindown]

OMG i love it!

[NennaMeerkat]

A friend of mine made this for me recently. This is the first time I had any of my pets done in artwork. Hopefully soon I can convince them to do my Bearded Dragon and 2 Leopard Geckos as well.

Love the turtle Nae!

Neena - I noticed your avatar, it is great!

[Nae]

LOVE it Neena I noticed your avatar and have actually been meaning to ask you about it~ So cute! Id love to do more cartoon work, but it doesnt seem to be my line...

Does your friend have a deviant art or anything?

He is on a site called FurAffinity. It is mostly a furry based site and so there is quite a bit of adult-ish stuff going on but he does clean stuff like above. I don't think he has a DA account.
