Dragons and hedghogs oh my!

I’ve been in an ink drawing mood lately. I decided to take a small break from digital stuff to get this ink fever out of my blood and created a couple new pieces.

I used to raise african pygmy hedgehogs, so I thought it would be a perfect animal to draw! I know in other countries there are a lot of wild hedgehogs that like to wander around in gardens and such, so I wanted the piece to reflect a hedgehog hiding in a garden. This first piece reflects this…

The second pic, I was listening to the Ryu – Starmine album and it made me think… why haven’t I drawn a dragon yet? I figured it would be a good subject. So I decided to go with Seiryu, one of the four guardians in Asian culture. This is the Japanese name for the dragon who guards the eastern part of the country and represents spring. Its also one of the alias used by Ryu.

I wanted to make it look as if the dragon was flying in the clouds, perhaps its flying around fireworks. Hopefully you guys perceive it differently.

I hope you guys like these!

Oh yeah, I know some of my fans know I used Deviantart, but if you didn’t know… I have a Deviantart which can be found here…
