I quickly sketched up Silver the Lugia from Tlan's story (The Lugia Trainer) for his birthday. This was from around the beginning of my Illustrator drawing sessions, and I'm thinking I should retry sometime using the pen tool instead of the free-hand paintbrush ^-^

For some reason I seem to have this strange aversion towards drawing anything without a stop (the bump at the top of the skull and the nose). I know Lugias aren't supposed to have a stop, but somehow she still ended up with one. Agh xD (she also looks a bit too mature in my opinion... I was going for a younger look =/) Ah, well, enough whining lol. For a first-ish attempt it looks pretty decent. Maybe next time I'll add shading.

So, go read his story. You'll have to search his name 'cause I'm still a newbie who has no idea how to link names...
