This started off as comic drawing practice. I haven't drawn a legitimate comic in a very long time. I sort of miss the days when I used to draw comics everyday as a naive but hopeful 16 year old. Those were very pleasant times.
I've always fancied the idea that Moshtier's partly aware that he's in so many of my pieces. If I were featured so much in someone's gallery I'd sort of wonder why that is. Y'know once I get over the creepy idea that someone's part ways obsessed with me.
I really do enjoy drawing Mosh. He's my favorite dragon dude to experiment with. He's the spike to my twilight sparkle, The robin to my batman, The dragon to my boy. I wouldn't have gotten so good at drawing dragons if I didn't have a dragon to apply my research to.
Honestly I keep Mosh around because drawing him is pleasurable in of itself. It's not like the big guy's a draw for page views, fav+'s or watches. he's challenging to fit into scenes with normal sized characters. He's got so many stupid details that I have difficulties keeping them all straight with all of the angles I want to draw him from. That and the friggin' complexities of foreshortening based on height and perspective... Yeah, I enjoy overcoming those technical difficulties to depict him well.
He really does need to have more characterization though. Just another thing I'll work on.
The rest of this piece was practice coloring, perspective, proportion and setting up stuff around a character. All in all I think I did pretty well getting things down. Yeah, I purposely left my representation colorless. No I did not forget to color myself. He's supposed to be like that.
