Cataclysmic Dragons

Very nice job for paint, I know full well how difficult making images in paint is and you seem to have worked very hard.

Btw would you like for me to touch them up a bit in a more effective tool, i ain't got nothing to do and i really do have the urge to help.

oh and aezeal i wouldn't mind making pics for your dominions 3000 mod.

That's ok. I'm offering them as-is. If you want to modify them for your own uses, though, you're welcome to, as long as you give me credit. As much as I may grumble about it, part of this is that I'm doing it with the most basic Paint program out there, and hopefully that will serve as an inspiration to others, to do their own art, since you don't need a big, expensive program to work with Dom 3.

Also, whatever very small talent I might have as an artist is backed up by about %99.999 perspiration. It's really just guess work, especially with a mouse, which is just about the hardest tool to draw with ever invented-Jackson Pollock never had it so bad-a lot of editing, a lot of doing the same thing over and over again, and a lot of working pixel by pixel on a canvas that's 16384 pixels big, or bigger. Anybody can do this, if you're willing to put in the time and effort to do it over and over and over again, until it more or less falls into place.

Alternatively, it *doesn't* fall into place, you say "to hell with it" and offer it anyway, which also happens. And if it looks too goofy to stand, maybe you go back to it in a month or two.

heh lol, just keep up the hard work, you may also wanna download paint.net, it's better than MS paint if not quite photoshop and it's completely free.

If you're going to spend a lot of time on this you should consider drawing it on paper and scanning it. I have a cheap "all in one" printer/scanner/fax and trust me it's faster to draw it and then scan it then to go pixel by pixel. That's how I got my avatar. Of course you might want to use colored pencils.

Why Jim! I *love* Vietnamese era AC-47 gunships!

Or were you referring to marijuana? In which case, I would have to deny any influence hallucinogenics have had on my artwork. :P

Oh and I'm unable, for work reasons, to download anything, nor do I have a scanner. So those aren't options.

Ok, the flood dragon is finally done. Roughly 12 hours work

Lacking wings, a breath weapon, and the sheer physical power of some of his larger brethren, the flood dragon is nonetheless an extremely dangerous foe. Able to fight well in the water, with his two short but powerful front claws, and vicious, highly toxic bite, the flood dragon comes into his own on land, where he can make good use of his amazing speed, and incredibly long, poison-spined tail--whipping it around in all directions to poison or simply decapitate his foes.

Advantages: Fully amphibious, able to attack multiple opponents in the water or on land, deadly poison bite-on land has a poison/magical area 2 attack, and 24 combat speed. Decent Prot. Great poison/magical chaff-killing weapon.
Disadvantages: Can only use tail on land, and can't use claws on land. Extra vulnerability to fire and cold, no real ranged attack. Move is only 1 (outside of combat) on land, 2 in water. Slow in water-Combat movement is only 12 in water.

Looks nice HB, but he looks much friendlier than I would have expected.
Is he smiling?

[HoneyBadger]

Well...the style of dragon for the flood dragon was heavily influenced by 15th century Chinese/Japanese art, and dragons in those always have that kind of "smiley" look to them, unless their mouths are covered by mustaches. So I can see where you get that he's smiling at you, but he's really just smiling because he's found his dinner, and you're it

[JimMorrison]

Hmmmm, he IS kind of cute.

I want one papa, can I keep it?

[HoneyBadger]

*sigh* My wife says he's cute, too...

Am I the only one who can see the crazed look in his eyes?

He would bite you in half, people! drink your blood! gnaw your bones! fetch your slippers! do your laundry! angrily! He's got big bitey fangs and huge, vicious teeth!
