Another oldie but goodie, just a show of my metallic work. At the time, I wrote:

Mercury is a member of a race of intelligent chromatic dragons. They evolved to have reflective skin because it reflects the sun’s scorching rays from their bodies, helps break up their outline while hunting, and they can blind their prey, keeping it from getting away. The little creature alighting on its wing is a Cactus Wyvern. These creatures evolved to live on cactuses for protection, being green for camouflage, and even having their own cactus-like spines. They are scavengers who feed off of the kills of dragons, and have learned to lead dragons to food sources so that they can clean up the scraps. Because of this behavior, in Dragon culture, Cactus Wyverns are revered as wise guides, both in life, and in spirit.

Yanno, I keep doing these metallic things on occasion. And every time, I say “I am never doing metallics again!” Then my muse says “That’s what YOU think!” And then she makes me do something masochistic like this! It’s the shiny car-bumper dragon with transparencies to boot! Ah, well… at least it’s kept me distracted… which is good because this week sucked majorly. I’m reasonably happy with the dragon, considering I’ve never really tried chrome before (But it still doesn't look right)… the background is awful though. In spite of this, I keep wanting to put this on a LJ community I’m part of and ask people what the dragons are saying to one another… hrm.

Eh, maybe I should do a rock dragon of some sort... like a Lapis Dragon. That'd be cool. ::Shrugs::
