Beautiful

DO NOT TAKE THIS DESIGN!!!! IT'S NOT MINE!!!! This was drawn originally by the owner of the 'Nameless Forest' site, Adlana, and it is copyright to HER!!! I loved the pic so much I couldn't resist drawing it. But I give Adlana FULL credit for thinking up the creature. I know what your thinking; 'Not ANOTHER copied pic!', and yes, it is. I'm sorry. I just like to try and see if I can do as good as some of the better artists....
Thank you Blackhawk for suggesting Gif, because it worked!

Bug

This is a picture of a...bug...thing...that was sitting on my tent when I went camping two summers ago. I used a digital camera to take the picture, then changed it on the computer with a program called 'PhotoImpression' to give it that charcoal-y look. I had to alter it for a school assignment, and thought it looked really cool when I was done, so I put it up here. I know I've been posting a lot of real pictures lately....

Strange dragon

Yes, this thing is EXTREMILY weird. But I LOVE it!! I think the shading came out really nice...and so did the hair. I never knew how to do hair...and now I do! I do not recall what compelled me to draw this....but I did. I did it on MS Paint, for I didn't feel like dealing with GIMP's complicatedness (yes, I know it's not a word). The face is kinda strange, but it's not bad. The background and moon ruin the pic. though....

Eragon Movie

WOOO!!!! I FOUND A SCREEN SHOT!!!! This is a screen shot from the Eragon Movie (dated to release on December 15, 2006). I believe these are Galbatorix (left), and Durza (right). As I've said before, Shurtugal.com is a GREAT site to find info on the movie. Here is the known cast:
Eragon: Edward Speelers
Murtagh: Garret Hedlund
Roran: Chris Egan
Brom: Jeremy Irons
Galbatorix: John Malkovich
Ajihad: Djimon Hounsou
Arya: Sienna Guillory
Durza: Robert Carlyle
Uncle Garrow: Alun Armstrong
King Hrothgar: Gary Lewis
Angela: Joss Stone
Katrina: Tamsin Egerton
Nasuada: Caroline Chikezie
Lead Urgal: Nils Allen Stewart
There could possibly be other cast members, but this is all I could find. Thank you to Shur'tugal for the info. Keep your fingers crossed that they don't move the date again! P.S.: The third book in the Inheritance trilogy is supposed to be released this fall, according to CP's dad.

Montu (and Gwazi and Sheikra)

Montu, my second favorite ride at Busch Gardens. I attempted to get my friend on it, but, to no avail. At least she went on Gwazi. Montu is one of the tallest and longest inverted roller coasters in the world! You go up to 60-mph, with a G-force of up to 3.85. Due to lack of a sufficient picture. I have found a video of Montu! Click the link, then click 'Watch Montu Video' under the picture. I hate how it switches to a view of the people, and I apologize for it. http://www.buschgardens.com/buschgardens/fla/ar_montu.aspx
I'll also provide a link to the Gwazi video, the Southeast's largest and fastest double wooden roller coaster, and a link to the Sheikra video, a widly advertized roller coaster with a 90-degree drop.
http://www.buschgardens.com/buschgardens/fla/ar_gawazi.aspx: Gwazi
http://www.buschgardens.com/buschgardens/fla/ar_sheikra.aspx: Sheikra. On this one, you have to click 'take a virtual ride on Sheikra' under the text paragraph.
Kumba

This is Kumba. It is my FAVORITE ride at Busch Gardens, which I went to yesterday. Unfortunatly, it was down for maintnance. It's so large, a part of it goes off the side of this photo, I'm terribly sorry. The initial drop is 135 feet, and you will plunge from 110 feet into a diving loop, experience a full 3 seconds of total weightlessness while spiraling 360 degrees, and go through one of the world's largest vertical loops. While walking over the bridge to the ques, Kumba flys inder you. It's extremily loud, but extremily awesome!

Nico

boredom.....oh, ya, this is my dog Nico. He is a four year old beagle male, and will turn five in October. He is EXTREMILY hyper, and chews the ears off of all his toys. He loves food, and (unfortunatly) will get right up in your face to get some. He usually smells quite bad, and his breath is putrid, but I love him all the same. He sleeps at my feet under the covers in my bed, and sometimes 'stretches' to push me out of the way, so HE has more room. We rescued him from Petland, and now my other dog, Jasmine, has an obnoxious sibling to deal with. Jasmine gets quite jealous when I play with Nico. I can't play with Jasmine, because all she wants is for you to throw something for her, and I CAN'T throw anything for her. She hurt her back (very badly) and was paralyzed from the neck down once, and if that happens again we have to put her to sleep. I have no clue why I'm putting a photo up, I guess I'm just bored.
The OFFICIAL Inheritance websites
www.eragonmovie.com -It has nothing to do with the movie at the moment (though it has a great eragon movie background and AIM icon), but it has the most AMAZING intro to a site I have seen in my life! I don't know if you'll think the same, but I'm am officially obsessed with Eragon, so it's amazing to me. Beware: it will take a little while to load (and a long while if you have dial-up).
www.alagaesia.com -the official Inheritance website. It has backgrounds, screensavers, games, pronunciation, and constant updates! I believe that it is run by CP's dad...though I'm not entirely sure.
western/eastern, maybe an indonesion?

I love this picture. The only thing that I find bad is the hind feet, their to big. This WAS going to go to my friend, but I ended up drawing a different picture for her. I don't know what kind of dragon this is, maybe a western/eastern mix? hmm....sorta reminds me of an Indonesian (GAH!! stupid geo. test....). *ahem* anyway, I like the face, it's cool.
two griffins


Two griffins. Their beaks are to big for their head, but they came out alright. I don't like the wings, but I suppose their better then all of my older wings. The black one is a falcon/black panthar, and the lighter one is a hawk/tiger. I plan on doing better drawings of both, but this is all I have for now.
A basic cantering position

I scanned most of my pictures from my old sketch book last night, and I plan on posting alot today....I don't know how often I'll get on this week or weekend...to busy.
This picture isn't supposed to be detailed, shaded OR good. I was just trying to get the basic cantering position. I also have one of galloping, but it came out SO bad, I'm not willing to post it on here. I'll just use it for future drawings. I kind of like how this came out...dunno why....it isn't to good.

Flaq
This is a Flaq (pronounced Flack). Yes Ersska, I liked your name, so I renamed it. Thank 'ee for giving me a name! I'm sure no-one even scrolls down this far anymore, though.... Anyway, their hooves are designed like a mountain goats, enabling them to scale sheer cliffs and boulders. They come in a variety of different colors and patterns, but always have the humongous tuft of fur on the end of their tails. They have small fangs, and a row of sharp teeth AND, in the back of the mouth, they have molares designed for crushing plants. These guys are omnivores.
Drawn Sea-Serpent

This is a sea-serpent I drew during a lesson at school. My scanner put those dark lines in the back, for I hadn't wrinkled this drawing that much. I like how it turned out, though some of my friends suggested that I shoulden't have colored it in. To them: I am not going to erase it, so deal with it. The tail came out messy, and the middle hump is to skinny at the right side.

Draaken

I love this picture. It came out really nice and is probably the best thing I have done on the computer. The colors go nicely together, and the background looks very close to how I wanted it to be. It is a draaken, which is a creature made from another. They range in size from whatever they were made from (a small draaken would have to com from an insect, and a large from a horse or cow). They enjoy flying high above the ground, preferably in the early morning when the sun is just begining to appear. Draaken live here on Earth (and on Isitar, though they are quite rare), and make their homes in mountain ranges such as the Himalayas in Asia, and the Smokey Mountains in the U.S.A.. They have two pairs of wings. The back pair is used to support the weight of their tail.

READ ME!!!
Don't be suprised if you don't see me at Dragnix for a while.....The new layout is EXTREMILY annoying. On some of the older pics, it only lets me view comments up to July, and won't let me see the comments I just put in. I have to figure out whats wrong with the thing, then perhaps you will find me there again. But, for now, you can find me here.....and a few other sites......if you know where to look.....but please, if you visit Dragnix and have had the same problem, but have found a solution, please comment on THIS post and tell me!

Happy New-year!

This is a pretty special pic. I did it sitting infront of the T.V. at my uncle's house on New-Year's eve. I was in the middle of fixing the beak, when I heard the countdown to midnight start. I franticly drew a line (not in the right color, I might add) for the mouth and it ended up a little...well.....wonky. I took a vow to myself that I would not touch this picture ever again, for it is the LAST thing I did that involved art or writing in 2005. It has no background because I didn't have enough time to throw one in. This is a picture of Ardra (gray) and Gavina (white). They helped me escape the Black Griffin's lair, and Gavina rescued me from the clutches of Malnebra, a griffin that walks on two legs and is the Griffinlord's punisher and henchman.
I like the way the wings came out, but they look to small in my perspective.
