Hello steemit, I was shown that there was a dragon art contest going on and wanted to jump in, since I love to draw dragons. I re-created the dragon digitally from a traditional sketch I drew while traveling. I liked the idea of a feathery, spindly dragon. She has thin bird like claws, with armored scales coming over the fur/feathers.
That's the best part about creating dragon designs is you can incorporate a diverse amount of features. I like to take from animals that might show the skills and habits of the dragons.
Choosing the colors was interesting. I tried to put my personality into her, and I love blues and greens. She might live in the desert, and collect things like gemstones, plants, and skulls (as I do). If she were my pet, she'd probably be about the size of a goat, not including the tail. Not large enough to ride, but larger than a dog. She'd probably be mostly solitary, and would be less of a pet and more of a wild friend who comes every once in a while for affection or to bring random objects as gifts.
I ended up naming her Zarres, no reason in particular. Let me know what you think! Would you like Zarres as a pet?
