___ This is my first entry into the "STEEMIT ART CONTEST" Challenge by @orcheva. The link to the contest is below: ___ https://steemit.com/art/@orcheva/your-own-anime-character-drawing-contest ___ I was planning to submit this drawing into the "Design your own Steemit manga hero" Challenge by @htliao. However, at that time this drawing was not complete, and hence I saw that there is now another Steemit Art contest and the theme is "YOUR OWN ANIME CHARACTER", so I finished the drawing and submitted for this contest. This contest is very unique, as it wants the participants to design their own anime character I started off the drawing in pencil and then I edited the drawing on computer Hope that you like it ___ ## YOUR OWN ANIME CHARACTER ___ https://s20.postimg.org/3jux0af3h/A_12.jpg No one really knows the real name of this anime character. However, the character has 3 scars on his back (thought to be caused by a dragon) and he is able to summon super dragons, so people call him "The Dragon One" ___ ## Animated gif of drawing process ___ https://s20.postimg.org/bclks8q7h/A_Drawing.gif ___ ## Design Overview ___ I started off with a rough sketch of the character in pencil https://s20.postimg.org/xbrzfh9ml/A_prog_1.jpg Thought about giving the character a hood to create the mysterious atmosphere, but then decided to remove the hood. ___ This is the finished pencil drawing https://s20.postimg.org/49dpclah9/A_2.jpg ___ This is a dragon I drew https://s20.postimg.org/hqanvhndp/D_1.jpg ___ Then I use the computer to merge the two drawings https://s20.postimg.org/hdj9pbzz1/A_5.jpg ___ Editing to make the dragon more fierce https://s20.postimg.org/4m53isfwd/A_6.jpg ___ Thought I would give the Dragon blue eyes to make it into a "Steem Dragon". Also some strong teeth. https://s20.postimg.org/yqtk47q59/A_9.jpg ___ In the end, I decided on yellow eyes https://s20.postimg.org/616o7i99p/A_10.jpg ___ Adding my Steemit Id https://s20.postimg.org/49dpcm5cd/A_11.jpg ___ And this is it https://s20.postimg.org/3jux0af3h/A_12.jpg Thought it would be cool to add some Chinese character.
