Artist's Comments

First of all, congrats A'dar of Pernworld Mu* for getting through weyrlinghood!

Second of all, realizing that this picture is all blue, for the most part, you gotta know I did that for a reason! The reason: Zeituth is sky blue. Go figure!!

And of course the title of it all makes sense - since it's not only his hatch name but seriously, this blue is over the top! Bad pun! I know, but it fits so well!

Anyways, I had a lot of fun doing this guy, especially the tiger stripes! The hardest part was the wings, which, I'm not 100% happy with, but after a lot of frustration, it'll have to do. All digital - from start to finish.

Here's to hoping I did this blue dragon justice!

Zeituth's Desc:
This medium sized blue is a physical representation of a textbook dragon. His lean musculature over a pristine bone structure makes for a form to be envied by any dragon. Gentle ridges lead down his back to a thin whip-like tail. His snout is perfectly molded, tapering in with a strong jaw line. He has big eyes seated under faintly drawn eyeridges. The majority of this dragon's hide has been coated in a pleasant sky blue. A long gray stripe runs from tip of the tail to a sharp point down his snout. This ashen spine falls into gray tiger stripes down the blue's body. Thin lines of silver accentuate the stripes, giving them a rocky appearance. Similar markings dress the wrists and ankles of the blue, becoming thicker and darker as they near soot colored claws. The broad wings of this beast maintain a softer blue underneath, while the tops are coated in a slaty pewter.

Very nicely done! I like how the pose turned out and the wings look fine to me. :) His markings have to be the neatest ones I've seen on a blue in awhile! But then again, I'm biased...I love blues! Great work!

Thanks! I know... at first my hubby was like, nope, those don't look like tiger markings so I actually went and refreshed myself on how tiger markings should look. It was fun. I think the silver beside the markings made them pop out a little more. Good practice anyways. :D
