Across Realities - Ch. 1June 19

What is it that’s so fascinating about the window switch in a car when you’re bored?  I mean, I know that my mom locked the controls, but I still sit here clicking the button down and up at irregular intervals.  Sadly, it’s not making me any less bored.
“Carl, quit flipping that switch, please.  Charlene is trying to concentrate.  You know how hard it is to drive on the freeway.”
I sigh and sit up a little, leaving my elbow on the door’s armrest and a red mark where my cheek had been resting against my fist.  My switch-flipping hand dr

Across Realities - Ch. 2June 20

I have trouble waking: my mind begins to surface, catches a mental glimpse of what lies on the far side of sleep, and runs back to cower behind the safety of unconsciousness.

Foggy, dream-like impressions fill my world as I drift further away from awareness, but none are quite as vivid and memorable as the dream I just left. Dragons, again…

My thoughts recede into the blurry depths of sleep once again and I feel my perception fading...

---

I wake easier this time, though I’m not much more aware than before. How many times have I woken, now? I have no way to tell. My memory is too foggy and clouded and I can’t k

It Goes On Foreverby ~Zeimyth

Anthro / Digital Media / Drawings

Three weeks in a row. I've never been this consistent. This New Years Resolution stuff might actually have something to it. XD

So, remember [link] ? It's fine if you don't; it didn't exactly get an overwhelming amount of attention (no comments

). Anyways, this picture is kinda the "sequel" to that first one, if you will. I'm not exactly sure what's going on with these two scenes, but for one reason or another that other dragon wasn't ready for the bright light from that staff. So bright... O.O

First time I've ever drawn an anthro dragon before! Anatomically I'm sure it's a nightmare (not that my other pieces are much better

), but overall I'm proud of the result. All draw are feral dragons, but my friend =tedd135 asked me if I could draw some of his anthro characters from his story, so I figured it would be prudent to see whether I could actually pull off the subject matter to begin with. XD What do you think? Should I stick with the four-legged? >_>

This drawing was fun to do. I decided to be adventurous and try to draw a background along with the dragon. It's sketchy, obviously; this is a speedpaint, and the background wasn't my main priority. Besides, I've never tried to draw a cave before. But I really didn't have any way around it this time, considering that the theme here is "Dark" and I'm drawing a character with a bright light source... yeah.

I love the way you drew the cave and the dragon holding that beacon, my I can hardly draw a cave or a cliff ..... What I will say is AMAZING!!!

~Zeimyth Mar 8, 2013

Have you tried to draw a cave before? This is my first time ever drawing a cave, but it looks alright. Maybe you should try it sometime.

~DracorusTerra Mar 8, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

ok, I'll try!

Amazing dragon! It's really cool! You did a great job with the shading!

~Zeimyth Jan 20, 2013

Thanks so much! I'm really glad to hear that.

Yeah, I've been focusing on my shading recently, I think I've been getting better at it. I still have a lot to improve on, though! Did anything with the shading stand out that I should try and fix in my next drawing?

Thanks for the great comment!

~Bre615 Jan 21, 2013

No problemo!

you are getting 100x better! I can tell! The only advice for shading I have is that you could try to make the lighter spots smoother by smudging, I think that'll look cool! Your the first person who asked for advice from me!

do you do art trades? Because I would love to do one with you!

~Zeimyth Jan 21, 2013

Aw, thanks so much, that really means a lot!

Hmm, I'll try to keep that in mind. I'd rather avoid using the smudge tool, but I can definitely focus on making the lighter areas smoother.

I've never done an art trade before, actually. At the moment, I have a lot of other pieces I need to take care of for other people who have been waiting a while, so I'd feel kinda bad agreeing to another piece that would take a long time to finish, but maybe once I've cleaned up my to-do list a little bit more.

~Bre615 Jan 23, 2013

Ok! Just let me know if you would like to do one. They're really fun! I've done a few but not too many

~Zeimyth Jan 24, 2013

Sure, we'll see what happens!
