How to Draw A Dragon (from Kazdrea) (Part 9)

Snow Upon the Mountains

OK, ONE more Kazdrea passage to hopefully keep people satisfied until the next update (this one's also the mind-speech of the dragon in this picture; Dreafar):

"You did what you had to do, and I do not fault you for it...."

She lifted her head away again, and seemed to withdraw into herself. As she did so she also withdrew her burning curtain of mind-fire, and for a moment those present were privy to the depths of the massive ancient star that was her soul.

"Across ages ancient thoughts find us...through darkness...past dead stars...so it feels...that every sword has been lifted and dropped, every empire had risen and fallen...and we have only tears in darkness to soothe our wounded flesh...for days are illusions, bitter dreams to blind us to endless night...and as the losses accumulate from a cycle longer than one's perception of life, cold fear echoes across the void, and one would do anything to cast it from one's mind...Hatred truly is a fire...it is one's warmth, and it is one's Hell."

Still no part 10?

[TiaMichelle]

While the pencil and ink stages were something nice and scheduleable, the colour stages have been more haphazardly updated due to various complications. However, Part 10 should be up before the end of the month in any case!

I wanted to watch all your videos before commenting on the fact that you're an amazing artist with a vivid imagination, and a hypnotizing voice. Here's to the survival of Kazdrea...God bless You!

[TiaMichelle]

Wow, thanks! That's really sweet! :)

[herpboy99]

is the book on the market?

[TiaMichelle]

Not quite yet; Kazdrea: Dawn of the Dragons' Secret is currently in its second draft (a bit of the handwritten text can be seen at the very beginning of this video). It is a long and difficult process to create something like this, sort of like it is for my dragon illustration, and hopefully both will be finished at around the same time!
