lol! i agree guys, his name TOTALLY implies that he is based off of the van gogh painting! lol! my apologies for the confusion/lack of my name creativity! i just started calling him that and it stuck in my little brain. 😳 i am sure he will be properly renamed by his new momma! perhaps i should refer to him as a midnight sky dragon…
yes, i do think a dragon would look totally cool based off of that painting! i thought of that myself the first time i called him the starry night dragon in my head… “oh like the painting, gosh that would look cool!” the colors are great together just to begin with, but would look extra snazzy with that wonderful texture/patterning to the paint.
david, i had feeling you’d like this guy! i told dottie he needed to go out on a little dragon date with your tiamat- they look like they’d make a cute pair! lol! good to see you!!!alrighty time for a new dragon! again for dcc1961 is this imposing fellow… he was done to compliment/contrast the sunlight dragon… he is the starry night dragon. he was to look like that super dark night sky when you have just the smallest slice of the moon present in an otherwise black sky. when the sky is that dark you can see that magical multitude of normally invisible stars that in some areas almost get a milky way like quality. he has the little sliver of moon represented as he his smallest wide neck scale and he is alot darker in person, but the light box really brought out the blue in his blue/black areas.this one was really hard to photograph; casual desk shot seemed to capture his darkness better. 😕 i antiqued him in pearl (first time i tried a light over dark antique), which in person gives him a nice starry/milky way sparkle.

Right now it is set at -1, which somehow is putting it behind the visible page on Firefox, etc. I tried changing it to 1 on the fly and it then shows up fine. Unfortunately I can’t do the same thing for, What’s it called? The Microsoft browser? So I don’t know what effect (if any) it would have there.
Anyway, can someone pass this on to either Tom or the other Nice Guy?Yes thanks. The other nice guy has a name too, but I didn’t catch if it is Greg or Craig. My hearing is going south, fast.
hmmmmmmmm… must be all the squeaking your poor ears have been subjected to! 😆
i’d love to see some more pics of them to get a better feel for their tone of pink and how they are shaded…it sounds like there has been a little variation, so i wonder how this new batch looks in comparison……

edited 🙂 no offense meant. thanks for offering help DM. i tried asking my dad who is very good at photoshop, and he thought i was nuts for trying to get an image that small, but hey everyone else did it ,so it must be possible! i think i’m just frogging up one essential little step. hmm. thats why i haven’t had an avatar pic in a few months, i’ve been trying to get it right forever! durrr!
ok so i must be a TOTAL turkey, cuz i just CAN’T figure out how to make a pic small enough to be used as an avatar! i use photoshop with a mac and just can’t get anything under 50+k i just don’t know what i’m doing wrong!! i used to have a pic of my chin up, and some how way back in the day i uploaded it and it was larger that 8 and it took, but then when i took it down trying to unload another, it wouldn’t reaccept it. anyhoo, i tried sizing the pic by pixels up top in pixel dimensions, keeping it under 80, then reducing the resolution to 72 (as usual) and the files are still big!
anyone have and advice on my how pea-brained self on how to size a pic properly so i can get it that small? where did i go wrong? i would LOVE some advice! thanks so much from the bottom of my confused heart!
—–>head–>desk >.<yeah! anyone looking for one? here ya go! with box too! its not mine but i just thought i’d share. 🙂
