Done sometime in middle school, this was my first vision of how Kystan
should look.
|
 |
I did this early in my freshman year of high school, partly during my
extraordinarily easy geometry class.
|
 |
Another I did in geometry. Yes, I did have a _lot_ of free time in that
class. In this one I was practicing the techniques of shading both sides
of an object I'd recently learned in art class.
|
 |
This was an alternate design for the
Dragonfire stamp you may have seen in the overview
section of this page. Actually I only did this design as a half hearted
attempt to outdo another student who'd decided to do a second stamp
with a very nice design. I ended up giving up and realized I couldn't
always be the best even in my age group. Quite annoying, really. =)
|
 |
This was also done for my art class as a stencil which we could spray
paint through. The center portion was on one of the walls of
my school for a couple years before someone decided to put up a
boring non-draconic mural. =( The center is based on a picture
in the Dragonlover's Guide to Pern, but the wings
(which I added too late to spraypaint) are my own design.

Ok, so this has nothing to do with dragons, but I think it's pretty
funny/interesting. It's a self portrait I did first year of computer
graphics. Hey, why not show it to your teachers? =)
|
 |
I had originally planned to do this as a more humorous full color picture
after the dark origins of Higher Love but after the humor of
it wore off I lost interest. Ah well.
|
 |
A picture I did on an apple IIgs while working as a TA in the lab.
It looked better when I originally did it, but unfortunately I had no
way to move the graphic onto another computer, so I had to print it
on their rather poor quality printers and scan it in.
|
 |
This is a combination of two dragon sketches I did in class at separate
times. I think I ended up thinking of them as Kystan and Eva (another
dragon from my story).

Bunnies get too much attention at Easter. How bout an Easter dragon for a change?
|
 |
I got inspired to do this during my first college art class when we were creating
symbolic art. I did it for myself, though, not for the class. I call it
Sadness.
|
 |
I think I did this soon after Sadness, in the complete opposite
mood (I think I would call it Happiness if I had to give it a
name), trying to psych myself
up to do another full color dragon. Unfortunately I couldn't keep my
interest in it and it didn't get very far. =I

My first attempt at drawing
Synge before I'd gotten a very good description
of him. The other dragon in the picture is KaniS, although KaniS actually
doesn't have horns. I call the picture Synergy.
|
 |
My second attempt at Synge after grilling him for as many details of his
form as I could think of. He says it's very close, but the tail is too short.
*doh!*
