Awesome, looking forward to the finished dragon :D

Hi, I've made an entry for your contest along with some poetry to highlight the characteristics and personality of my dragon whom I have called LOVE. I hope you like it and are inspired by him/her. Lots of luck to everyone!!!!https://steemit.com/art/@sourcebird/the-dragon-of-love-dragoncontest-kristyglas

Beautiful and very unique ^ ^
My favorite lines from your poem are:
"You my love have slayed the beast
and taken my coil and given it wings"

......to fly to you.....Thanks for your interest, thoughts and kind words, I'm really happy that you liked it!!!

Interesting contest, i like the idea 😃 I know nothing about drawing dragons though 😅😂 Well whatever good luck with the contest, i might still join if i get time ☺

Thank you! I really hope you try it :D There is a lot of time, feel free to share some of sneak peeks ^^

Hey one more thing, when you say "your pet dragon" do you mean that it has to resemble us somehow or is it just any type of dragon design we would want to have as a pet?

A pet that you would like to have :)
And by personality I mean, cute/fierce, funny/serious features and specific art style^^ Usually our art styles reflects our personality, preferences and moods.

Okay i see, thanks ☺

Here's my very simple and tiny entry for @kristyglas Dragon Art Contest. It's a super mini dragon! He's very powerful, don't underestimate him because of his size. He will fly into the enemies ears and damage them from the inside. Stealth mode. Much like me. Just quiet but I'm really destructive (jk, my art is, could be, not sure, be the judge). Cheer for my pet Millimetre.

POST LINK HERE

This is actually a WIP. He will show off his skills as a ninja too and I could borrow a micro lens to get a closer shot.

Update: This dragon has been spotted showing off one of his ninja skills: Click Here!

Very cute ^-^

Thanks!!!

omg! That is so tiny! Will upvote later when I have more power.

Thank you so much. :D

An entry https://steemit.com/dragoncontest/@cryplectibles/crypto-collectibles-presents-jordan-the-dragon

Please be kind this is like the sixth dragon I've drawn in my life lol. I liked the pencils more than the end but I feel that way about most art by any artist, always enjoy the pencils.

Love your comment! And if it's a pencil... that's my favorite material for sketching and drawing.

Thank you for entering :D upvoted and resteemed. Your pencil sketches are very skilled. Would you like to add a preview picture here or should I? ^^

Edited and added :)

He is a cute dragon. But why dont you give the poor guy some reading glasses?👓🐉☺

Woah woah woah, Jordan is a dragon, not a "he" or a "poor guy", Jordan only identifies as a dragon. Now as far as it's vision, I think you have a point and I may have to reevaluate and include some glasses.

I want see Jordan the Dragon with some nerdy glasses :D

Very cute :D Definitely share here one of the top hat ones too!

pretty adorable, plus purple just happens to be my favourite colour!

Hi! I made my pet dragon and entry about it :) https://steemit.com/dragoncontest/@anastasiabusko/my-dragon-for-dragoncontest

Thank you for the contest!

Thank you for your entry :D
Lotta is very cute and I love the way you use watercolors. The change from light to dark. And the calm personality is well expressed ^^
Also thank you for sharing the process!

Thank you for kind words! Lotta is very pleased :)

Very cute and colourful @anastasiabusko! Great entry! Good luck my friend! :)

Thank you! :)

Nemocas

A dragon of the old worlds before both Chaos and Order. Her heart was forged in the first dead sun of the Elmick Era. Given life by the void itself, she is an axiom, benevolent and wise. With few enemies and many friends, she is fed off the dreams and hopes of man.


Note: I may update the image if I work on it some more.

https://steemit.com/dragon/@deadsun/beasts-and-monsters-series-1-5

Beautiful dragon, I love the horns :D
Probably a very dangerous pet xD

It's hard to have a pet that tends to be between worlds. We can make it work though.

Hahah ^^
Awesome update :D

I know it's months after the fact but feel compelled to post Minnie's rendering of [How To Train Your Dragon] Toothless. She did this when she was 9, especially so that a very skillful Kathmandu artisan embroiderer could embroider her favorite dragon on a t-shirt for her :)
Minnie'sEmbroideryPic 1 (1).jpeg

This lovely thank you very much for sharing :D
Please let her know this is awesome and to keep drawing what she loves! ^^

I will indeed!

This post has a very unique ingenuity. I think it's legendary. I've never seen before. @kristyglas

Thank you! I hope you join :D

I think dragon's are some very awesome magical creatures, I want to get back into drawing again for a long time and I think this is the thing that pushes me to start again looking forward to the contest and all the entery's

Your 3D bridge model is amazing! Definitelly followed and I hope you have some time to try this contest ^ ^

Thank you for your follow really appreciate it, I think I can find the time to take part in the contest ;D

A remider: for you to enter Dragon art contest if you can :D

This dragon is mad for getting bullied and he is walking through the lake of fire

Thank you for your entry, don't forget to name your pet dragon! Y
ou must also upvote and resteem this post if you want to compete ^^

Thanks for replying. His name is akari. Don't really want to compete (no way I'll win lol) but I will upvote and resteem

Cool name and thank you ^^
There is a lot of time left so you can try again if you'd like. Considering it is very simplified maybe go for quantity and humor :)

There's some really great stuff here, I'm almost embarrassed to post my own effort. Here he is though.

This is John. He's named after my neighbour who I drew it for who unfortunately died just before I got to give it to him. I hope you guys enjoy him as much as I enjoyed drawing him :)

Thank you for sharing! It is a very interesting style that I haven't seen before :D
Don't forget to upvote and resteem this post to qualify ^^

Whoops, totally forgot, having a bad day. Thanks for the reminder :D

No worries, good luck! ^ ^

Great idea for a contest! I will see if I find the time to submit something

Thank you and for Randowhale :D
Please do enter the contest, I would love to see your entry and style ^ ^

My pleasure

Awesome :D
You can post the final sketch here as well. Its nicely detailed and clean ^^

Great idea! I actually like that one better. :)

It's just different technique, so I think some will like one or the other more ^^

I thought it needed a better range of values so I updated. :)

Here is my Entry I went with a Traditional Dragon. Thank you for hosting this contest, cant wait to see some of the entries to come. I've always been a Dragon art Fan. https://steemit.com/dragoncontest/@woodywood143/dragonartcontest-my-entry

So much details and a great beast :D
Definitely would love to see it from different angles as well.
Also add a preview picture in your comment so more people notice and click the link ^ ^

Ok Thank you.

Awesome creation my friend, you have definitely raised the bar!!

Thank you @kristyglas,this contest is very useful for me. This is one of my simple works
https://steemit.com/dragoncontest/@rsphotowork/thank-for-the-dragon-art-contest-35sbd-prize-pool

Awesome, it has a very strong and clear personality :D

Nice xD I definitely see it.
Thank you for sharing :D

https://steemit.com/dragoncontest/@kitcat/entry-of-dragon-art-contest
Hi, I have created a post for my entry here :)

Nice combination!

Thank you for the entry :) the dragon has beautiful details.
I really like that this red color is very strong and different thicknesses . The post is also very interesting as you explain your culture and background story very well.

da mach ich doch auch mitt

Thank you for resteem! I'm sorry I don't understand your comment :)

This would be challenging... You are essentially saying we are creating a new design for a dragon... Or are we drawing from an image @kristyglas

It's new design, that's why there is so much time and 3 different win categories :)
This is also why you're encouraged to make your own post to get upvotes and followers, no matter what the results of the contest are.

Mehn.... Time to wear my thinking cap... Wow..

It's definitelly fun once you get into it ^^

Just a reminder. There is around a week left till voting if you are interested to enter ^^

I will join. Like this idea of a pet Dragon with maching personality :D

Awesome! I'm looking forward to your entry :D
I really like your photo editing #3 (where nature takes over) so I followed ^ ^

Wow, im glad you remember this work. Acctualy i posted today nr.9 of this series :)
Btw im also following you thats how i found this post.

I found it through your collection post, a great idea to share older posts :)

Yeah, a kind of secound chance for the older projects.
Btw. started working on my Pet Dragon :)

dragon bronk.jpg
https://steemit.com/art/@bronkong/dragoncontest-first-step-skech

Awesome facial expression, the personality is expressed really well :D
As Bronk uses Steem, will the colors be bluish? ^ ^

Yeah, I have thought of yellow and This blue Steem colours... I will experiment with colours in the evening :)

Awesome :D
(There is no rush)

Very nice @bronkong!

Awesome, i really like this contest, do you also accept pixel art?

Yes. Pixel art is accepted, but not allowed to copy any other artists' high resolution dragon into pixel art :) (You can use any of your own dragons for pixel art reference tho.)

It's really interesting! I'm joining! ;)
Sounds fun!

Awesome, looking forward to you entry! ^-^

This is more my thing....mabye I'll try...lol

I hope you do :D Looking forward to it!

Thx :0)

Hi Kristy, here is my work in progress, it will be done in as little as a couple of hours to a couple of days, depends on my creativity.
https://steemit.com/dragonartcontest/@fractalizer/work-in-progress-dragon-art-contest
Cheers,
Craig ~ @fractalizer

Thank you for sharing :)
However, to qualify 1st or 2nd place you have to use copyright free photos if you leave it as photo montage. I will let you know about the final fractal image when you share it. (if it resembles the photo too much it won't qualify)

I understand the rules and my images in the graphics displayed here are absolutely copyright free.
I will give you links to the original images.
https://pixabay.com/en/iguana-watch-lizard-reptile-animal-2039719/
And
https://pixabay.com/en/bat-bird-animal-embalmed-569442/

I'm sorry if I should have posted the links in the first instance, I hope that clears up any questions Kristy. :)
I will hold off posting the finished entry until you decide if I qualify with this image composite. Thanks.

Thank you! I added the links rule.
I'm sorry for mistaking the photo for another blue iguana one.
Also nice website, haven't seen it before, looks useful ^^
And yes you do qualify, your links prove the "free to use photos" rule.

Thanks Kristy, you had me worried for a moment! Anyway, I will be posting my entry soon. 😎

I'm sorry I did xD
Looking forward to your entry and good luck! :D

Hi I also recommend that you share preview images here so that others notice and click your posts :D


Finally got on my PC!
This is the work in progress image, before adding my background fractal art image.
https://steemit.com/dragonartcontest/@fractalizer/work-in-progress-dragon-art-contest

How can I do that Kristy, I have tried, but the Markdown I tried just shows a broken link icon
Using this Markdown code: "![] ()" without the space in between ](

Do you drag the image into the comment? As it has to get uploaded. Once its uploads it automatically creates markdown which you can even remove then.

No, I can't do it on my tablet, which I use on here most of the time. The markdown should work, it's exactly the same in the posts.
I will copy an image and paste it in to see if that works.
*nope, didn't work. Ugh, I will do it on my pc tomorrow.

If you still can't do it on pc, let me know and I will add :)

I can't say why it won't work, if you could try, I will appreciate it @kristyglas - cannot get on pc today. I will ask support help to look at it.

Hope there will be a lot of participants :)

I hope so too. Please be one of them :D

My 9 year old (almost 10!) daughter was reading stuff over my shoulder and saw this contest. She decided to draw a dragon. I will post it later today. It's awesome!

Sweet!! Can't wait ^ ^

Thank her from me for entering :D I love it, especially the colors and the head/hand details!

Thank you! Will you try to join? Your photography is beautiful and photo manipulation is allowed or you can use nature to make something like with stones (just an example). :)

Haha hmmm maybe - I will have a think ...put my dragon head on!

Sounds great :D

This is an interesting idea. Resteemed and upvoted! I will try find some time to participate in this event.

Thank you :D I really hope you do!

I love dragons! I'll participate soon as i finish wandering around the dream world full of dragons! 😊 but, honestly... i will try my very best to come out with an idea to draw a dragon @kristyglas 😁.

I'm really glad :D looking forward to it ^^

Upvote.
Just to support a contest.

Thank you!

good things
i upvote and follow
do the same to help each others succeedd

Upvoted and resteemed! 👍

Thank you :D Will you join as well?
Your "Drawing with Friends" entry is amazing, really captured the personality.

Thank you very much @kristyglas. My daughter @jeseemei would like to join too. She's busy now drawing the "dalek". 😊

Awesome good luck to her :D I would love to see her dragon as well. Thank you also for reminding me. Will add it in reminder post: you can have family members or close friends compete with your account if they don't use Steemit.

Hello kristyglas and everyone. Please see below my attempt. It is still a work in progress but planning to finish it soon.
This is "Petranquil" (combination of the words "Peace" and "Tranquility"):



(I recently started getting interested in cryptocurrency and the designs, hence wanted to see how he would look on the face of a coin)
https://steemit.com/dragoncontest/@apprentice001/experiment-birth-of-a-new-dragon-pet-dragon-contest

Thank you for entering :D Awesome dragon and very cool extra description.

Thanks kristyglas! Glad you found the description interesting. Have a great day!

Thank you, you too! :D

Very cool contest , Ill start working on my entry in the morning.

Looking forward to it :D

Good luck with the contest @kristyglas. It sounds like a lot of fun. :[)

I will do my best to join and have already upvoted and resteemed for you so just have to get to creating my own dragon now. :[)

Thank you :D
I hope you share some sneak peeks with us! Really looking forward to your entry ^ ^

Hi
I am just seeing this now thanks to resteem by @pyrowngs. Cool. Upvoted, resteemed and following.

Thank you very much! Your felt art is really beautiful! Are you interested in maybe making a small dragon?! :D
There are around 8 days left till voting and 15 days left for entering in general.
(The next contests probably will have smaller prize pool, from what I'm seeing so far ) :)

This is awesome. I'm definitely doing a dragon :D

Awesome :D Your drawing The Tunnel of Antiquity looks amazing, nice style and so many details :D
No idea how you did it.
Followed, I hope you share some steps for your art in the future ;)
Looking forward to your entry ^-^

Oh I do steps on most of my made for steemit art. It's always pencil sketch to pen in the beginning.

I see :) I do find your Tunnel drawing most interesting. Do you have more posts like that?

Oh yeah, loads. Those drawings were for a book. If you scroll down my page, you will see more of the single drawings and the Actual Wind in the Arryo book chapters 1 to 6.

Found it, the art looks really awesome!! :D
I will try reading the story when I have a bit free time ^ ^

Ok, let me know exactly what you think. The first few chapters did really well but I started getting low votes at around chapter 4. It looked like people didn't think much of the story but liked the art. I also wondered if the low ratings had something to do with me adding Jpegs instead of actually typing each word into the streamit post. The jpeg pages do look a bit ugly. It's hard to tell as I didn't get any negative feedback just stopped getting votes on the story. Not sure if it's worth bringing it back now...

Maybe it's too long?

I'm sorry I don't have any good advice for this, as I haven't read it yet and I am new here. My newer posts are also getting less views even though more followers. The contest has more votes but the prize money attracts people (I cannot keep that up tho). Hopefully it's just people on vacation so when they're back the votes will go up haha :D

Really cool contest!

Thank you! Will you join? :D

Yea, Im hoping to have an entry done today.

Lovely event @kristyglas , wish to participate some day soon.

Awesome! Good luck ^^

Hi there! He is Steems :)

FullSizeRender (2).jpg

Thank you for trying.
However, I can allow blue haired spyro fan art can only to compete for 3rd place category.
There is at least a week left if you'd like to try again :)

Thank you! :)

Thank you :D
Will you add a preview image, or should I? So others notice it.
It was really fun to read!

Upvoted and shared! I may not have time to get something done for this but I 100% support the art and writing challenges here on steemit as they build community and broaden the scope of the platform.

As I've stated before I am not here for the monies (that is a bonus) so everything I do, here and in my life is because I have a desire and am not driven by monetary gains. I am grade AAA authentic and not a song and dance girl for the coins. ;)

Thank you! :)
There is around a week left till voting, but 2 weeks for 1st and 3rd prize categories.
I hope you try at least :D Good luck
If you like the art here I posted all of them here and the links for easier preview so you can upvote and follow the ones you like :https://steemit.com/dragonartcontest/@kristyglas/dragon-art-contest-progress-35sbd-prize-pool ^^

Hello Steemians.
I have made an update to my drawing attempt (added some color).
This is how 'Petranquil' (the Pet Dragon) looks like now.
Hope it turned out okay.
Thanks for your time !



https://steemit.com/dragoncontest/@apprentice001/experiment-the-dragon-evolved-pet-dragon-contest

Thank you kristyglas for this excellent contest. Upvoted and resteemed. Here's my entry:
https://steemit.com/dragoncontest/@sopa-pekar/dragon-contest

Thank you for your entry :D
Very nice style, it really reminds me of fantasy story books.
Also lease add a preview picture here, or should I? Very hard to notice the entry otherwise ^^

Just made a post about my dragon, Phynar (fire within) this is a conqueror Dragon so watch out for him in the skies... :P...you can find it here along with some gifs I made, enjoy and good luck to ALL!!

20q_burst_Fotor_Collage.png20q_burst_Fotor_Collage2.png

Cool :D Somehow reminds me of ps1 and 2 games ^ ^

Also I think this lighting from your gif look nice and fancy :D

Thanks Kristyglas, I love ps1 games too I mean look at my avatar :P.. am tuning the red lightning a notch and soon I will submit it!! glad u liked it :))

Good luck, everyone!

I like this. Wonder how my pet dragon would look like. I like this idea: You can create and post more than one dragon. All of your works will be considered as 1 bigger entry.

Great, it is 1 bigger entry so your votes aren't split and it adds to the effort category.
Only disadvantage is for the 3rd category, the random pick: 1 entry per creator :)

Ah, I see. I may have to do multiple dragons if I can't decide on who's my favorite pet. Got to be 'unlazy' later so I can draw. I'm at work now.

Nice ^^ you can share more of them and/or make a post for your fans to pick which one to work more on. There is no 1 post limit or who must name the dragon (s).

I am not an artist so I can't draw much of anything, but the idea of this sounds interesting and a lot of fun so I might just try and join :)

Awesome, I really hope you do! Looking forward to it :D

Thank you for your entry!
Please add a preview picture so others notice the awesome process link (let me know if you cannot, so I add it). There are so many comments so it's easy to miss a link :)

This looks awesome! I will see if I can participate by the August 8th deadline (that's my birthday! :D haha). Is there any rules for the dragon drawing? Can it be digital? Does it have to be colored? etc.

Thanks again for hosting! ^^

The only rule if you are competing for 1st or 2nd place is that it has to be visual art. It can be painting, digital, pixel, collage, clay and more. It doesn't even have to be with art materials, but having details is good to recognize the dragon. Your anime style is beautiful, followed :D Anime, chibi and similar is very welcome.

A reminder: around a week left till voting for dragon art contest. If you plan to enter ^^

can't resteem. No button. Will be back later, if I can find it. Be thinking about a dragon to match my personality. Dangerous beast. :)

big hugs

Awesome looking forward to it!! :D
Hugs back ^^

I think its a great idea, I will try to add something cool to the mix! There doesn't always have to be a monetary prize, recognising people is a good prize, but money is nice!

Thank you! Without the prize it would be hard to find people, but it might not always be monetary, because it depends on the post payouts. Lately mine have fallen a lot. I'm looking forward to you entry :D

Thanks Kristy, workin' on it now!

Can we digital paint a coloring page giving credit to the artist?

Sorry, with coloring page you can only qualify for random pick category.

Okay will see if I get something done

I wish I could join, but I have a full todo list this month :-( Good luck to everyone!

Thank you for resteem. I really hope you find a bit of time for this contest :)

Hello @kristyglas! This is my entry, meet my pet dragon... "steem dragon" 😊.

20170719_205048.jpg

https://steemit.com/art/@dwightjaden/my-entry-to-dragon-art-contest-by-kristyglas

Thank you for your entry! :D
Is the name just Steem or would you like to add a name or nickname?
Also the dragon looks quite mischievous, or is that just my impression? xD

Wow! You have a mind power @kristyglas. That is indeed a michievous smile 😊. My pet dragon represents my personality 😉.

Hehe :D awesome, mischievous is one of the harder expressions.

20170719_193301.jpg

His name is "happy". Noticed the encircled horn, and that is why im calling it a "steem dragon" 😊.

Sounds great @kristyglas! Awesome challenge! Looking forward to the great art work!

Me too :D
