The new version of the Black Dragon of D& D 3rd. The design is by Todd Lockwood, I only took the basic idea and drew my own pose of it and all that :)

Colored and shading scale by scale XD, so it took me a week or so. Little by little 'cause I got fed up sometimes... :P

Canson paper (beige) and 2H (sketch) and 2B (shading) mech pencil.

Scale by scale? Amazing! Those wings and its head...they're amazing! An overall brilliant piece of work! Hehe, I love D&D-type things. ^_^;;

oh man this looks awesome!

whoa, crazy detail! It looks amazing! Fantastic job :) The head looks a little balrogish (at least from the movie) with those horns and all. I can see why this took so long!

AWESOME work on details, excellent excellent excellent :D

I DO have little qualms on the body proportions, as 3rd edition dragons are a unique body form, particularly with the belly, but that's just a little thing and doesn't detract from the piece ^____________^ very cool

Thanks :D
I copied some things from a statue I've from a Black Dragon of D&D. Maybe you refer to the belly being more "fat" instead of more sinuous? XD

Thanks! :)
Yeah, I also thought that but I thought it when I saw the Balrog "hey, his head looks like a Black Dragon from D&D" 'cause I saw the dragon first (a year before or so... :)

No, actually, very much the opposite and not so much the belly either :) The stomach is long and rather thin and raised far off the ground. It's almost like an exaggerrated dinosaur therapod on four legs O.o Quite peculiar

I supposed it looked like being in the ground. It's not, if he were on the ground it would look like you say, exagerated, and a too difficult pose for a dragon, he will fall in the next second. It's like "suspended or flying" only that the wings did not fit and I had to fold them xD so it looks that way. Mea culpa. Look also that if in the ground, it would be pressing the tail with his feet XD
I dunno if I explained well it's kind of difficult to say XD
