Wow, this looks awesome! The details and the overall style, really nicely done!

Thank you so much We're so happy to hear that :D

Thanks! :D

Ciekaw jestem czy dalibyście radę narysować kiedyś mojego Maledivusa lecącego obok samolotu szturmowego A-10A xD Ale to wygląda fajnie

Hiehie, popróbowałoby się na różne sposoby to powinno dać radę

Może jak będzie grudzień i będę przy funduszach zamówię takie coś od was

~Rasta:
Tylko jak będzie Ci zbywać Nie ma co na siłę marnować kasy na rysunki

Przyjąłem Ale kurcze naprawdę jestem ciekaw jak wyjdzie wam maszyna w pełnej krasie

Natoli:
Na pewno drożej ze wzglęu na ilość szczegółów i ja się raczej nie zajmuje taka tematyką na co dzień, więc wiesz.... xD
No i jesli chcesz na grudzien, to bedziesz musiał ostro polowac - w tych okolicach zawsze jest duzo zlecen :)

Spoko ^^ I zgaduję, że 40$ lub więcej może pójść?

Natoli:
Wszystko zalezy, format, uklad... do grudnia ceny sie mogą ruszyć, musisz się po prostu na bieżąco orientować w cenniku :)

Przyjąłem.

Wonderful work, both the dragon and the plane are just stunning!

Thanks you ^^

i always wondered if dragons inhabited this world, how theyd view our planes.

Would we (dragons) have to use runways too?

the ones who fly into them will have a most negative opinion

My assumption has always been that dragons over a certain size or who go over a certain height would need a radio headset and to chat with air traffic controllers, but otherwise be treated like helicopters due to the short landing of a good wing flare. I even picture things like a HUD on an eyepiece that has an altimeter and a radar display for safety.

psh, dragons do whatever they want

Indeed.

:( then we'd have to have tracking devices on all of them aswell. I prefer my dragons free to go where they wish. But I know whatca mean :D

True, but we require them on all existing aircraft...and the possibility of a mid-air collision could be high enough in some areas to make it a real problem. Still, there would probably be an operating ceiling underneath which there would be no issues, like with remote control planes (and amateur UAVs) in the current world.

*nods* Poor dragons can't have rocket assisted lift devices.

I think they'd whiplash themselves if they were too strong...but I could easily see some sort of brace that could be remotely locked and unlocked, or a wearable set of electricly powered propellors. A harness with solar panels on the back and you could get a bit of flight assistance for long flights, if the weight wasn't too much to bear.

Now Im thinking of space dragons.. I never see space dragons! Goes about searching for such critters.

Also I feel for the not so bright dragons that can't pass all the needed tests to "use" their wings... :<

I'd imagine that so long as you could fly reasonably well, you'd be good. Only if you were so derp you couldn't fly safely, in which case you probably wouldn't fly anyway, y'know?

~Rasta:
I also agree. Never thought of dragons as creatures of unlimited abilities. So yes, this join of dragons and planes is a natural consequence and would need some laws and regulation to work together well. In fact it's even natural for me to make dragons use some air vehicle as well. In fact jets are faster and can reach greater distance than a dragons (in my personal opinion of course). So why not? A neat idea of dragons and technology

It would certainly make for some killer air shows.

I agree on that. Dragons would be treated like helicopters / VTOL Aircraft. Helicopters use runnways due (to my understanding) have less force on the blades when taking off in speed (forward speed of course). So I guess the same applies for a dragons too. Run among the runway (because, why else do we call them RUN-ways? XD) so it would be less tiering for him/her to take off.

Another key part to airports is that unless it's a purpose built heliport, then you have to land at the airport in order to have access to services like fuel and maintence. Also would make it safer in landing, to help avoid Vortex ring state ( helicopter descends into its own downwash and loses all lift ), which is prevented by having some lateral velocity.

Aside from that, in my experience, helicopters usually take off and land in their own area away from the runway at airports, or at least the local one near me, but they interact with the traffic pattern same as planes.

Hehe, you've started an interesting discussion here It's nice to see so many replies under this topic

It's been a thought I've had many times, and I've actually been tempted to do a commission on it sometime, if I ever summon up the cash.

Well, combining dragons with technology is also a neat idea many people would surely like

What Have I started??

Well I'm gonna use my own neighborhood street as my runway. Only tech I'll have is a saddle for passengeres

You've started an awesome discussion Something that lives with it's own life That's amazing!

le sigh....i want to feel my phantom limb wings

So cute ^^

Aww thanks ^^

More fuzz dragons! I approve of this!

Yeah! :D

Thanks a lot

It's wonderful...
And it actually could be the illustration for one of my dragon-related stories I have written and posted here on FA many, many years ago: "Alpine Air-Traffic Control"

Aww thank you

He looks so happy! ^=^ This is Natoli right? I think - hope - I've come to be able to tell by now. :D

Thanks for your comment
Yep, it's Natoli Do you think it's hard for other people to distinguish our styles?

Dragons and planes what a pair <3

Hehe We're glad you like it

That engine is hot! (Pun city)

Hehehe xD

well done

Thanks!

This is awesome!! Engines go whirrrrrr

Haha yep they do xD

Tha looks cool :3 I like the shade on the metal, very well done! ANd the dragon is obviusly awesome, the pose wasn't easy at all :D
Only thing I would have done the legs slightly more spread for a "draconic" pose, as it reminds more a horse like now xP

Thanks Ray ^^ About the draconic pose - for everyone a draconic pose is something different. For you t should have his legs slightly more spread, and for us it's ok. Just wanted to say that there are to many interpretations and to many interpreting people to assume something as a correct draconic pose. We would say it's the matter of individual preferences

I LOVE IT
i am a dragon into aircraft and all that

Yaay Great to hear that. Thanks!

That metal came out great.

Thank you

love this :)

Mew!

That's definitely really nicely done

Thanks a lot Drakkor ^^

Anatomy a well turned out.
Feels ... spring ability. :)

Used machine translation.

Hehe

Wonder of the Dragon wanting to know more how these metal flying beasts work.

maybe even he wants to know how to make one himself? Would be a worthy challenge

Yep, that's for sure. It could have a slightly different design than planes created by humans
