Hey, I don't have anything finished yet, but I do have something I'm working on. So. I figured I'd just make a Work In Progress thread. I'm much, much better at line-work tatto-ish stuff than coloration, so the majority of my work will revolve around accents. Any skins I do will tend to have simplistic coloring. First up: Feral Tribe Accent - Female Guardian WIP 1WIP 2:  I have to finish marking over the back legs and tail, then clean up, thicken and add to various lines. Once I have the lines finished, their transparency will be lowered slightly, and I'll apply various colors over them so that the buyer can specify whatever they want. I may also make skin versions, if the buyer wants to specify colors for the dragon. |

Nice, are you gonna do Tribal accents for all the dragon breeds, or is it just for a specific character?

Thanks. And I am hoping to try and recreate this onto most of the other breeds, but my progress might be slow. I usually do 3 or 4 drafts on works like these before finally settling into designs that I like.

That looks really awesome! >u< I was thinking of doing some 'tattoo' ones but I suck at them. You are doing a great job

Thank you! I hadn't seen any other skin artists giving it a shot, so I thought it'd be the best route for me to go with. Less competition.  |

Aww, thank you. Maybe we could make it a trade, even.

I absolutely love the tribal accents! I wish I could draw like that, my drawings look like their from a three-year-old without any talent, lol! |

Updated the top post with a newer version. Still not done, but I made some progress.
Whoever can identify the three dragon breeds on the back leg gets an Internet cookie. -w-
(also I just need to know if it's at all clear what they are or not)
And thanks, Aero~ But lol, drawing tribals actually involves drawing lots and lots squiggles. Fancy squiggles, but still squiggles.

Is one Spiral? One is recognisable has a dragon, but I can't place it, it may just be me though.

I'd go for spiral, fae and mirror. But Im not sure about it tho.. But I thought I just give it a shot. I never let a chance for a cookie pass, not even an internet cookie !  |

Aero got closer. Spiral and Mirror are correct. The top one was supposed to be a Guardian, but, ffff. No matter how I try to draw the scales under the chin, it turns out hideous. And I tried drawing the finny face. Also failed! XD
I'll have to try a couple more things before I give up on him. Thanks guys~ *gives you both cookies anyway*

now that you mentioned it and I took another look, I kind of see it. It still looks great though! *noms on cookies.*

This isn't a skin, so I'm posting it here instead. A sig! Well. I actually probably shouldn't post it, cus it's already in my signature, now.
But, yeah. I've never really made many custom sigs before, but tried it out to make a skin shop banner. Pretty sure I messed up with it though.
I feel like I can't get the right balance between saturation and light/dark, and the image in the center just doesn't pop enough. Probably because I picked a skin that was on the dark side to begin with.

I love your banner nonetheless ^_^ Funny how you can use so many different tones of blue  |
