My colours changed a little. I figure that a red goatee will stand out more on a black dragon than on a red one. Otherwise...it looks just like a dragon chin thingy.

But you know, I can not draw. So I am just picturing it in me gulliver.

OK, I drew a couple that if you look at the XAT Drawings you may recognize. Others you may recognize from this thread, but they are all low detail for a reason...(as a note this is the first time in a while that I have not put Sasquatch in my entry, but I just didn't have enough room for him, and he isn't a mod)

Well, this took me too bloody long and it's still a bit scrappy, and...well I think I'm kinda letting a bit of the cat out of the bag with this!

CLICK THUMBNAIL!

In approximate order from left to right:

Devoidless- black Western horned dragon with red goatee. Legend has it Dan lets him out every now and then to burninate the flagged comments.
Estel- not always half-tree man, but has the ability to change parts of self into tree. Is currently blaming Devoidless for missing a chunk of trunk.
Asherlee- portrayed here despite being on hiatus. Nearly 7' tall Amazon lady wielding 2 swords (like her favorite armatar).
Dank- appearance based on Hitsugaya from Bleach, actually, after I made a comparison between their personalities and Dank was offended that I would compare him to something as "frivolous" as anime. I found that funny and the joke stuck.
Moegreche- yes, a brain in a jar. Talks from an unknown source in a Stephen Hawking voice. Spends most of his time sitting in a chuck wagon, pulled by...
Flipski- or Flipski 3000, Spaminator. Rather bulky 8' tall mecha armed with all kinds of anti-spam weapons. Tends to be a bit on the "trigger-happy" and "buggy" side. Maybe you'll see what I mean eventually.
Carlie- or more properly Her Royal Highness, Queen Carlie. Rumour has it she has an alter-ego, though none have yet witnessed it...
Ubertuna- a scaley manfish. Keeper of the ArmorCastle moat. Self-professes to be made of ttly awesome fail. Pokemon's equivalent of magikarp.
Strop- ninja pony. Also a healer. Some doubt he is really a ninja. We shall not speculate on that here.
Zophia- recent character "clarification" leaves many in turmoil! I am assured, though, that the current character is canon. Best described as a half-reptilian, half-mammal hybrid that used to have wings.
Nemo- wolf, man, or man-wolf? Unkempt loner who imparts pithy words of wisdom then fades back into the nearest alleyway.

All characters used with permission. Note that I am unable to contact DragonMistress, and Calm has given his consent but we haven't come up with a character idea just yet!

No Noname? Or is Nemo noname?

Uhm, Zega, we are not that fond of written entries...

Yeah, I was thinking about putting some pictures beside the names but I don't really have time and I am not so good...

Hmm Zega,Zophia a Death Killer? The rest fit fairly well though I suppose.

Yeah, I got bored and just did something random...

Coupla notes:

Devoidless' head may be a tad on the large side, though according to my previous ref, he has a...big head. It's about the same size as Strop.

And I don't exactly know how Estel wants to look because Estel kinda ISN'T HERE, because he's off being a manly man (read: playing soccer).

Nemo means no name. So yes, nemo = Noname.
And you got a week, Zega, you do not need to submit you, as this is most likely getting disqualified.

Is it just me or does everyone dream in black and/or blue? Spending too much time on AG?

Is it possible to reuse something from a different medium, say writing, so long as it has not been visually presented before?

I have some questions:

Whos is Calm? Is he/she another mod?

Moderators is the theme, interprint it in any way you see fit.

Whos is Calm? Is he/she another mod?

He has been rather inactive, but seems to back this week. Yes, he is a moderator, and a good one, I hear. At least he has the respect of others.

Hold on I though AsherLee and Calm gave up being mods because they were too busy and so they are no longer considered mods, but previous mods. If your going to add in AsherLee then why not Calm into the drawing though? Is it because you have no clue who calm is?
