Excellent drawing of the Dark Queen (Queen of Darkness) MSTO! And yes it would be great to have you sig. on it.

Wow! I think that is your best yet. It looks like it could come straight out of a book. No wait, let me change that. It looks better than what I see in some books. Way cool. Can't wait to see color!!

Hi all!
My gosh! Takhisis looks awesome MSTO! Can't wait to see her coloured!
draconian
Just thought I'd drop by and ask everyones’ option. I wanted to make sure I know how to draw the structure of draconians since I plan to do a painting with draconians (and Laurana)--eventually...if I ever get around to it lol. And since I've not been taught about anatomy, it'd be awesome if anyone could tell me if something looks off :P lol
I plan to do a more detailed head, sword, feet (longer toes), and hands as well as armor when I do the painting, though

That's an interesting take on a draconian! He looks like one of the characters from Gargoyles. I like the look.
For someone who says they don't know anatomy, that's pretty convincing :) As well as making the toes longer, I'd suggest making them wider and making the footpad (the part where the toes are attached) wider, so it distributes his weight more solidly. Also, the hand and arm holding the sword look a bit off, I'm not getting any movement or tension from it, it looks kind of like he's half-heartedly holding his arm up with a sword taped to his palm. The fingers should go around the hilt, just look at the hilt as a cylinder (or a smushed one) and make the fingers follow that. You shouldn't even be able to see the fingers much, mostly the first knuckles.
Eh..
Draconians have tails, right?
Anyway. the shading and musculature blow me away. Can't wait to see more!

Great job for both of you, MSTO and Golden Eyes!
I agree with MSTO about the sword. I can tell you drew that in after drawing the draconian's hand as an afterthought perhaps. 
The wings and back muscles look great to me, and make anatomical sense.
The toes need a wider surface to hold up the body, which you already mentioned. Otherwise he'd just tip over pretty easily.
The ankles look great.
The overall composition looks like he's either getting, or about to get, stabbed in the gut with a sword. That might even have been your intent!
Overall pretty darn good though. Keep it up! |

Thanks guys!
After I was finished I realized that his footpads were too small lol As for the hand--bahaha it looks pretty ridiculous, doesn't it? I usually spend a lot of time doing hands but it was the last thing that I had to do and I just half-assed it... btw, do draconians have 3 or 4 fingers? I've seen both....
Also, thanks for mentioning the tail! I completely forgot! *hits herself upside the head* Some draconians have them and some don't--But I think DL draconians do, right?
Slorg, you're pretty much right about getting stabbed ^^ I might as well explain what I'm intending for the picture: Basically, it's a scene of the Golden General in battle with probably 3 draconians and 2 knights (haven't decided yet)... this particular draconian was running toward Laurana but then she whipped her dragonlance around and it is currently about 2 inches from his throat (which is why his head is upward)--he's also trying to stop his forward momentum so his doesn't run into the tip ^^ I have Laurana mostly drawn but she's on my canvas and can't be scanned :P
And I'm not sure if I want him to drop his sword or bring it up to hit her lance away.. hmmm
Anyways, thanks a LOT for the feedback. Very helpful.. if possible I want to do this in oils--of which I've never used be for in art, so I want to make sure I know what I'm doing before I do anything.

draconian
Imaginary sword time! With sprinkles!
Still needs a bit of work. I think the feet still look a little off (angel & perspective) but that can be easily fixed--does the style look alright? Is the general proportion alright?
--I left the head and sword etc. for later --

Golden: I have really enjoyed your art very much as with Gem's, MSTO's and the rest! I just wish I'd had half the talent you all have shown in here. Some really great stuff in here! GREAT JOB YOU ALL, PLEASE KEEP UP THE FANTASITIC WORKS OF ART!!!

Thank you very much, Fizban. I know I don't really have a lot of DL fanart but I really enjoy doing it 
*And if I missed anyone else's comment, I'm really sorry--I'm not on the forums as much as I used to be but I really appreciate them!*

Golden eyes, its a wonderful drawing, beautiful shading, and muscle definition. But, it looks like a were-wolf with wings to me. Its lacking that reptilian look to it. Scales, would help a bit, but the face seems wrong some how... Like the nose is too blunt.
Here are 3 diferent kinds of draconians. Baaz, Sivak and Aurak. The guy with the horns are the regular troups that make up the majority of draconian troups. But the Silver guy is by far the most bad ass, and also has the wings to match your drawing, and really the only draconian that is worthy of doing battle with the golden general. And if you look at their snouts, they are all fairly long and curved. Think Corcodile.(not aligator!)
I hope that helps!

Glad the feet look better
And thanks James! Actually, I had that exact picture for reference when i was drawing I always find that the DL draconians look a bit cartoonish to me, so I wanted to make them a little more...hmm angular--i guess?
As of now that drawing is about half done.. I plan to redo the head and put scales on it (lol it's just muscle and bone right now)
But I'm really glad you mentioned the kinds of draconians. I might have to research that a bit. Didn't someone scan some info about draconians/dragons somewheres a while back? Or is there a good site that anyone knows of?
Thanks guys ^^
