Chameishida's QnA, Ask me questions!
Bored, so decided to finally jump in a bandwagon, officially this time!(Last time I was kinda open it during spam as a joke and there's like only 1-2 person noticed it haha) So ask me anything! but preferably nothing too personal like irl informations! and if it's art-related questions well...I'm not so good at answering those but I will try my best ; ; /
So, Ask away! :D
Quick thinking. Well done Holk!
Can you find the mistsake?

I really love your art style, so quick question - do you have any art/drawing tips? Any would be appreciated haha
Oh hmm hey we go, sorry if these are a little generic and might not be what you're looking for but I figure if I go over how i do things then it will be more about my style than actual art so...anyway here's the feel bullet points you might have heard of already.
- Don't be discourage to use references!!!!! Nowsdays thing like art thief and drafting works might scared people away from using references but there're big different between copying works and uses them to study!! Don't feel bad if you need to look up picture for night fury and see how their bodies are! The key is with how you approach studying. Drafting can be it but only as practice and shouldn't be shown anywhere as your own work, it's also like putting a training wheel on the bicycle, it just at best help you get a hang of things but soon enough you'll have to draw on your own. Look at picture then draw is the most common ways of study but it shouldn't be shown as you own either but as a study drawing it over and over until you get it right is a way but don't just do it for the sake of copying either, do it to understand how the body works, how it shape, how many parts are there. Then you can use reference to help you draw not just to study, by simply looking at them to understand. not copying the pose or anything but just understand that "hey night fury have this nub here and eyes like this" then explore it, play around with it, making your own pose and everything.
- Shapes!!! breaks things down into shapes!!! it really help with understanding how things work or help you with poses like using tubes as a way to draw limbs and sphere as joints.
- Basics can be boring but it's much needed! I think Varku have mentioned it before, Starting off from one specific art style...while doable can be less...practical than working your way from how human/animal bodies work. Sure you can learn from anime, maybe draw after this picture but take that away will it be enough for you to start from ground up on your own or if you copy-draw it it may look similar enough but it is better to know how anatomy work to check it for yourself if the eye placement is correct even if it look similar to the base picture on first glance. Anime is the already stylelist art so if you learn from it then you just got anime but if you understand the basic realist human another first then you can practically adapt that into anything, any style maybe even mix and match into your own
This isn't really related as I've drawn this way before this QnA but it's what I did when I study the difference between Wooly howl, Sand wraith and Night fury. I looked up their picture but instead of copy it pose by pose I kinda draw and explore it on my own based on my understanding and interpretation of the picture I draw, breaking them down into shapes. Pleasen note that this is just showing my study process and not a tip of how to draw these dragon correctly, I've already put my own take/style on them that they're not 100% accurate!
- Practice makes perfect!! the art's not going to draw for themselves and your first arts obviously not going to be as good as your later work(in most cases :'( ) so keep drawing and practicing that's the best way to better your arts!
- Don't be discourage by some how to or tips. everyone can have their own style and when someone said that you shouldn't do this thing or this is how you color things, take them as suggestion, acknowledge it but you shouldn't make that shape how you draw or worst stop you entirely, arts can be anything and if doing this thing is a way you believe is right then go for it!
- This one is more advance and I don't know a proper way to explain other than screaming "Dynamics!!" try not to make your art too stiff...to straight, watch out the lines and how they flow onto each other.
Phew this took a while, hope it easy to understand enough! ^^
1, Which dragon do you think matches your personality the best? As a pet or friend?
2, Which dragon do you think you're most like?
3, Which is your favorite dragon?
4, Which is your favorite SoD dragon (one of yours)?
5, Which dragon do you enjoy drawing the most?
6, Which dragon is the most beautiful?
7, Which dragon in the movies/series is the most impressive?
8, Who is your favorite dragon rider (movies again)?
9, Which dragon class do you think you'd be in if you were a dragon?
10, Do you think Boneknapper and Armorwing are the same species?
11, If you were able to color your own Night Fury, which pattern/colors would it have?
Yeah. It's all about dragons.
1. I want to say Thunderdrum but if we stick it to the more stereotype personlity of this kind and not my oc(sweet and calm) then we're goign to have a problem. It probably have to be the dragon that isn't too energetic, well manner, calm, the choices would be Stormcutter, hobblegrunt, night teror, eruptodron, groncicle and so on....hmm I'd say a night teror...? I guess? I'm not sure I'm not good with self-refrection ;-; what do you think fit my personality?
2. Most like as in most similar or favourite? isn't already like number 1 and 3?
3. Thunderdrum!!
4. Thunderdrum....? mm I guess if we're talking about technical and stuff like model and animation(don't know much about gameplay as I don't race)then....fligtmare? Eruptodron? ah yes Speed stinger's actually very fun to play with if we talking about SOD original dragon that I owned then Prickleboggle is pretty neat!
5.If I judged it from my notebooks...I really like drawing my own fan dragons but thing the canon one I enjoy drawing the most are those of the modular dragons, especially the ones with underbites like Thunderclaw/Snafflefang or those like Windgnasher. Thunderdrum follow closely behind.
6. Flightmare!
7. Either Stormcutter or Bewilderbeast.
8. Have to go with Hiccup..is it too obvious? wait no...Valka. I'd go with Valka
9. Usually when people ask this kind of questions like what bender would you be? What pokemon type would you use I always answer Water! Water type! and in the case Tidal class! but that's just the bias answering as Tidal class is my favourite class but I have little to do with water as myself. So if you asked me which one suit me I'm going to go with either boulder class or Mystery class.
10. Initially when the armorwing was first revealed I was sligthly annoyed that they make it a new dragon when they could have use Boneknapper and yeah I thought they could be the same species too just with different preference. I hoped they're same species but now...i don't know. I guess they really are the different species, perhaps very closely related but entirely different species, there're subtle diffrent anatomcally like the headshape but the obvious one would be the fire power. There're lot of dragons that looking closely similar and if we count them as different species, so should Armorwing and Boneknapper
11. Color as in, if they ever come to game and you're given a free range color custumization? I don't know...Black suit this species the best anyway, but I guess I could colored it after my NF oc, I have only one, he's dark brown like black-dark brown. The pattern's like canon night fury.
1, That's up to your interpretation
2, No, I with the first one I meant as a friend or pet and with the second one which one you would be (personality-wise)
3, Oh yeah. Thunderdrums are amazing (I thought so because of your profile pic)
4, Actually, I meant one specific dragon character you own in the game, but nice to know
5, Nice! (Fan dragons also count but I don't know what they look like XD)
6, I have to think... I think it's the Smothering Smokebreath, Flightmare is a close second
7, They definitely are, but for me, it's the Red Death. Flying.
8, Yay! Me too!
9, I can say that's awesome because every dragon class is awesome XD I think I'd also be in Mystery Class just because the others don't fit
10, Yep, I think so too.
11, Pattern is completely up to you. But a brown one is one of the most beautiful in my opinion.
Ah okay...
1. If you meant as a pet...I still want nothing more than my own thunderdrum...I have large bodies of water around my school and it's the only dragon I'd comfortable enought to ride because they're wide flying capet, also practical on all land-air-water butthen you have me considering the personality and if it's like Manta then I'd definitely go with Thunderdrum, if not them hmm...Stormcutter is good if not too up tight and big, probably have to settle with the small dragon like prickleboggle! yeah! that sound handy!
2. So I asked around my friends to self-valuated me what dragon I would be without them knowing any species of the dragon and they agreed that I would be "A small perhaps-bird/owl-like dragon burrowed in the very nice warm cozy underground nest, pretty docile and pacifistic but also not to be underestimated (probably have some sort of hidden OP ability). very shy. Mostly stationary but can be lightning-fast when want to" So I guess that narrow it down to Sweet death, Carvern crasher, Thornridge, Night terror, Fireworm, Smokebreath, Sandbuster and Sandwraith...then Sweet death, Night terror, Smokebreath and Sandwraith then Night terror and Smokebreath anddd my friend said Night terror when I show them to them...so I guess my first judgement was right XD
4. Then Manta the Thunderdrum is the one I ride around, make active and like the most :) He's my main.
What is your favorite movie? I've got many, well too many xD I love for example The Lion King or a World beyond.
That is Chenoa.
That was her as a child.
Thats Dreamcatcher
Thats AstridtheRogueRider
Rogue when she was younger
That's Warrior 
After a while I helped her and attacked the orange dragon. I didnt wanted to hurt those two so I just beat with my axe near to the orange dragon. I got his attention and he tried to fire on me! But then Hope shot at this dragon and he shot back. One shoot got in the wrong direction and rocks were falling down. I tried to run away but id been to slow. I thought this is my end...but when i woke up... i felt skin...dragonskin. I looked up and saw Hopes wing over me. She saved me! The other flew away and we were alone. When i stood up i saw that one half of her tail was under a rock. She risked her life for me, so i had to help her. I got the rocks away...but the tail... one half was gone. I supplied her, and hoped that shes going to be alright. In the night she woke up and screamed. I tried to help her but then she ran away and flew...but not so high. I couldnt say thank you...or something else...
Rtte Season 4 was so amazing!<3
Mine's "Big fish" :)
Hello, where do youget the most inspirations to make new dragon concepts, I get them in the car on a car trip
I pretty much on the constant dragon making mode anytime but if I am to narrow it down I think there can be four occasions:
-During class while doodling in my notebook. I usually doodle no specific species in particular, just playing around with shapes. Sometimes it came out canon species, sometimes it's a new dragon and if the design click I will develope it further, making up their beheviour and abilities after.
-From seeing some everyday objects. My friends now that "I'm going to make a dragon out of this" is my catchphrase at this point. I once made one from the some plants, one from my friends wierd lamp, a lot inspired from the already exist animals.
-Inspired from other medias(Game, movie, book, shows, etc.). Sometime I got insired by what I saw from other media. It can be simple as being inspired from the creatures, or sometime it's the ability or sometime you just want to make a dragon version out of the character!
-Thinking about Hybrids. Usually happen when I tried to match a dragon with the character and there's just something missing...like "I think Terrible terror is very fitting overall but I just hope that it got the mood ability of the hobblegrunt" or "Groncicle fits in terms of ability but I want the aesthetic of the flightmare" or "I can't decided what fit more between hotburple or skrill because this guy is both of them" the result? Hybrids but usually after that I would ask myself why stop there and not making it its own species? of course a lot of time it wasn't about finding a dragon that fit a character but just simply me goofing around and mashing dragons together
This is possibly the worst time to bump because timezones and possible upcoming spams
but eh why not, bumpity bump.
But yeah. So, what else do you like to do except doing dragon art? Make music, listen to music, read, write, watching videos etc?
Oh well you know, draw something else(usually fanarts for other fandom I'm invested in), lingering in tumblr/youtube(currently interested in reviews, reaction videoes and memes) for hours, video games(usually only mobile game at the moment due to schedule), reading fanfiction/manga.
I have looked trough some of the links in your signature and you are really good at art and ideas, you have enough dragons in some of your treads to creat your own franchise. also i think that you could wright a graphic novle if you wanted to.
Dragons:
oh wow this old thing...digging up old thread may be frown upon by some but Honestly I'm not complaining, this thread hadn't gain that much traffic and it's not like I'm going to make a new one anyway. since it's already come up, maybe it's a chance for the new forums to ask something if they want to
Is your subject line the question? if so then I'm actually have a career in art already actually; A full time job in an animation studio.
Thank you for your kind words! A graphic novel is something I do dream of making some day but doing that on top of a full time job is really hard!
