Alright, I've gone from the work of art phase to the character profile/Webpage graphics faze. Here's a recent experiment with GIF's. This is of my character Strike, a Chinese dragon allied with DragonAura.

*blinks* Wow, electric-blue and emerald green... two of my favourite colours!

Me likes muchly! It's a little bit Westernised for a Far-Eastern dragon, but your drawing skill itself is very good. Keep 'em coming!

Black Dragon · #3 10-25-2001, 07:20 PM

Thanks TF!! Yeah, I wanted to keep him with a similar look of my other dragons, which is why he is a bit Western. Alright, here's another of my dragons, but this one's a treat. This dragon is Lord Draconese (Pronounced drak-on-ess-ee), or my main el supreme boss-man bad guy. Many of my evil characters that are also Oddworldian usually have to get some orders from this dude as well as all of my evil dragon/wolf characters. Draconese is DragonAura's arch enemy.

One, Two, Middlesboogie · #4 10-25-2001, 08:04 PM

Eek, he looks grim! I'll definitely steer clear if I ever encounter him.

It's a very good drawing... the simple pencil lines make it all the more effective.

Merf, here's some new chars I came up with: Greater Sligs. Some facts: They are herbivores, 'bout 8 feet tall, males have spines, females have outlinings on eyes, are mammals, live in herds under dominant male and female, during pup season individual couples break off of herd and regroup in 3 months, pups stay with their parents for 2 years, main predator is the Panthis!

These are my main GS's, Xian (pronounced Zi-ann) the male on the right, and the female Tsentra (Cent-rah) on the left. The two pups are Ksyar (Zi-ar, named after grandfather) the gray male, and the female Kyu (Like the letter "Q") the green-brown pup.

BD, you always impresses me with your drawings- your drawing style is great! Lord Draconese is such a cool drawing and the last picture is simply the best

ich leibe Deutsch!
that's soooo funny Alec!

oh, BTW, good pics!

Oddsville · #9 10-31-2001, 06:20 PM

Very nice pics black dragon, keep it up!
I can't wait to show you some of my pics and see what people think of them but at the moment my scanner is broke.

super_slig · #10 10-31-2001, 06:52 PM

Wow, impressive. I don't know why, but I've suddenly become more interested in creating hybrids, subspecies, and other characters. Sligs and dragons are my two favorite subjects. *looks at Game Boy* AUGH! Teddiursa fell asleep! Hang on, I'll be back...

Black Dragon · #11 10-31-2001, 07:19 PM

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your thoughts on my art. I'm also really glad that you like them, that always akes me strive to do better and keep on going. Heh, sorry 'bout that, Super_Slig. I'd say something about yer bear fallin' asleep, but that would be exposing my past scary side!

DA: Trust me, ya don't wanna see it!!

*Hisses* *Curls up into a ball* Leave me alone!!!

Danny · #12 11-04-2001, 11:09 AM

hmm... how can they be mammals if they're related to sligs, which aren't...?

besides the biological niggles, the pictures are very good, especially the Draconese one...

Black Dragon · #13 11-04-2001, 11:47 AM

They are mammals because they are a different type of Slig. What I mean by mammals is they are similar to Drag's Drakkics in the way that they have live births. So nyeh!! *Steals "Add Reply Button"**Runs*

Danny · #14 11-04-2001, 03:18 PM

so you really mean they are *thinks of the word* well, i can't remember the word, but it means 'live-bearing', as opposed to egg-bearing. that doesn't make them mammals, since some reptiles are live-bearing, too, as are some fish...

Danny · #15 11-04-2001, 06:23 PM

Viviparous = Live-bearing

Oviparous = Egg-laying

The words came to me as I was washing up...

Teal · #16 11-05-2001, 08:03 AM

I'd been thinking about that... the whole what-the-hell-ARE-sligs-anyway question (*sabagely beats away the ads that popped up halfway through typing that one ssentence and made her type it three times*), as I don't think they're reptile, or at least not totally reptilian. I mean, who says they have to be mammals/reptiles/whatever? I mean, the animal kingdon on earth needent necessarily hold completely the same for another planet - just like mudokons are "birds" (in a sense, anyway) but have no real external characteristics you'd associate with a bird, except the feathers... I mean, sligs might be some completely different order; maybe sharing characteristics of both reptiles and mammals... *shrugs* After all, a lot of the "sentient" (or should that be sapient? not that it matters) species share insect characteristics - I can't think of any mammals/birds/reptiles that reproduce like that, only ants/bees etc...

Sorry, I'm taking over again. *shrugs* I'll shut up now.

Sl'askia · #17 11-05-2001, 09:12 AM

*wakes up long enought to type something*
Naked Mole Rats have a reproduction system similar to ants and bees...
*falls back asleep*

Teal · #18 11-05-2001, 09:18 AM

Hmm... (I knew SOMEone would HAVE to bring that up...

) *goes to read up about said animals*

Black Dragon · #19 11-05-2001, 05:10 PM

*Grabs mane and pulls it over her eyes* Guys! It's just a pic! There's no need to have a whole Biological debate over it. OK, I know they're not technically mammals and I used the wrong term!! I'm sorry about that. *Mane frizzes* Sorry to sound pushy, but I just don't want my pic topic to turn into another debate of some sort. OK? Thankie kindly.

Sl'askia · #20 11-05-2001, 06:15 PM

oop sorry BD, your right, I wasn't quite awake when I 'contributed' to the debate. If you like I can delete the 'debate spams' from this topic.

Danny · #21 11-06-2001, 06:43 PM

Nobody complimented me on remembering those posh Biological terms...

Black Dragon · #22 11-08-2001, 07:40 PM

It's ok, Draggy. It wasn't that big of a debate anyway.

Do you like pokemon? AAAAARRRRRGGHHH!!!!!!!

Noooooooo! Er, shiver.... surrounded by pokemon freaks..

Black Dragon · #24 11-21-2001, 07:18 PM

Alright, I had this huge drawing urge today and I just decided to draw whatever the heck came out of the tip of my pencil, so to speak. Kinda looks like a mutated BigBro with a sort of octopus contraption instead of the usual pants (Yes there are 8 legs, 4 in front, 4 in back). Well, anyhoo:

cherie · #25 11-21-2001, 10:42 PM

coolies! god that looks great!

zander: ( looks up at the two greater sligs) i feel very small and inadquete right now.

umm...looks like zands gonna need some therapy time now, oy

Teal · #26 11-22-2001, 08:56 AM

Hak: And I thought four legs was hard enough to work... yer like makin' our jobs hard, or somethin, ma'am?

*jumps up and down on spot* Stop invading peoples posts!! *stamps foot and tries to beat him* I ought to shrink you, then you'd be easier to bash.

Hak: *rolls eyes and lumbers out*

Cool pic, though.

Does he have a cybernetic left arm? (*wonders why sligs seem to have lefthanded tendencies*) And I just remembered, did you want something before you posted your "Greater" pic? I just wondered, as you said my name...

Black Dragon · #27 11-22-2001, 04:08 PM

Thanks you two, I really appreciate the compliments!! I dunno why I picked that arm, Teal... just kinda turned out that way. Maybe because I'm right-handed? Weird... anywho, I don't remember saying your name Teal...

Hunter: Niiiice, yer goin' psycho again!!

Shut up or I'll turn Xian after you!!

Hunter: That hunk of meat? Ha!!

*Throws Hunt outta the room*

Blasted Slig/Slog...
