Done for ~Kaleeko over on DA: http://kaleeko.deviantart.com/
This is her green dragon, Veriameth, from the Pern MU* called Harper's Tale. Been a long while since I've drawn dragons, let alone a Pernese one. So this took a few test runs before I finally settled on this pose. Wings are still the bane of me, but I think I'm getting better.
Had a lot of fun doing this though. Veriameth was an awesomely made dragon and I found her to be a bit challenging color wise. Pale green and dark green. ;) Rendered a quick background as well, since I need practice on those too.
Here's her description:
Winter's thaw breaks frost from the tiny blades of grass that tickle great ice-green dragonwings and chill the ashen-blue mountain creeks that splash across her 'spars. Valiant sproutlings push up through wingsails' glacial depths till tiny, tremulous blades of green patina the stark ice beneath. Those frigid tones crag her lean frame and loom evergreen over the palest arctic tundra below, a stolid presence over her back and chest before the forest casts shadows upon her sinuous neck. Spring's wane light sprinkles through the pine to dapple her shoulders with saffron light, sunshine and renewal bring change from the dreary cold to high summer's heat with swift alacrity. Grass clippings and oak works up her spine to drape the summer solstice, wisteria, and lavender across her headknobs and trailing vines tickle her delicate features. Fate's hand has designed this dragon a swift turn of the seasons: always changing, yet forever the same.
Drawn in pencil, then edited, inked and colored in Photoshop.

Thank you! I had to go with a sunrise, it was just too tempting and fit in with the theme the dragon was based on. ;) And for awhile, I did draw Pernese dragons with spade tails, until I read in on a debate once and actually realized it was a forked tail! Oops? I think it suits them better. *grins* Thanks for the comment!
