Artist's Comments

Ahh, good old Lana. From the looks of things, she's about to play yet another trick on poor Relden. ^^

Okay, I'm not going to lie to you: I mostly made this just because :iconvalita-the-hedgehog: is giving away free dragons, as she puts it (XD I love that expression), and I wanted her to do one of Lana. :3 Plus, I needed a reference sheet for older Lana anyway, as I always screw up her colors. :B Yay for Lana!

Aaaand, now I *must* start work on an MSD page, at long last. *gets to work*

Nice... *steals Lana 'cause she's so awesome*
Lana: h-hey!
Me: SHOOSH! I'll give you cookies when we get home!
Lana: SWEET!

sweet!, i love the transparency of the wings! it's awesome to look at but the neck looks just a bit weird.

The way of the artist is that of an emotional roller coaster, going from the highest of emotions to the lowest ones.
:iconsarall:
Hehehee! You can have her for a bit if I get cookies, too. *puppy eyes*

XD

Really? The neck, you say? *looks over neck* I don't see it. Which part? *anxious*

I thought if anything would look weird, it'd be that damn tail. I tried to get it right and failed so many times in succession that I just left it looking funky. Of course, the bit at the tip is intentional, since she broke it just recently in the comic and it never healed quite right.

well it's looks too think as it progresses upward. most reptiles have a neck that narrows a bit, but I'm being silly and overly realistic ^^.

Ohhh, that. She's holding her head kind of funny; normally, she would hold herself with her neck arched so that her head is nearly over her shoulders. In this shot, she's leaning forward, so I added a little slouch to the neck, making it look thicker.

But I do see what you mean. It could definitely stand to be a little slimmer. I have a problem making the necks TOO slim, so that's weird for me. XD

Ahh. I'm definitely finished with this piece, but I'll keep that in mind next time. ^^

Ah, tails always give me hell. :/ Yours came out looking dandy, though! :)

It's always nice to have color reference sheets. @__@ I learned that the hard way, but now whenever I work on anything, I make myself a layer in PS that's purely the mid-tones of all my base colors.

Always a good idea.

Especially if your computer crashes half-way through your latest work you've been working hours on...:angered:

But enough of my ranting.

I quite agree with previous statements: the wings are pretty. :)

Thank you! That tail about drove me nuts. 0_o The wings were pretty troublesome, too, as for some reason they had little streaks in them whenever I converted to JPEG. And then they became bubblegum pink as well. T_T So I'm very happy to hear you like them both! :D

I always have a base color layer, too. Verrrry helpful. Plus in Photopaint all the colors have cool names I can go by. Grape is the color of my avatar's scales, her hair is light blue-green, and so on. Which is why I get lost in Photoshop (actual quote: "Where's the damn grape in this thing??"). XD Hence, the reference sheet!
