owwww, i like this one :D

Thanks a lot! <3

love Gem Dragons!

Thanks! You're in luck, I've been doing a whole hoard of them lately!

Also, that is a fantastic avatar.

ty, lot of people seem to like it.

I've always loved amethyst. Good job on this one! I kinda agree with your hubby, I really dig the faded colors.

Thank you very much! And yeah, I'm a fan of amethyst myself :3

These are all really cool. Will there be a platinum and/or adamantium or titanium dragon?

Thanks!

No, there won't be any metallic dragons I'm afraid - part of the reason why the art director chose gemstones is to be NOT metallic/chromatic ;)

I understand. Been reading a lot on d&d recently, figuring i would try it out till Endless realms comes out

I'd personally recommend Pathfinder over d&d, although 4 and 5E are both good for learning on, I believe!

<3

The only word that seemed to come to mind was amethyst... but out of all the dragons, I feel like this is the one I'd like to be friends with :D
eyyy
nice

Thanks! Heh, really? Interesting! He does look fairly reliable/honourable, I think :)

Okay... I've been playing too much Guild Wars. He looks like one of Kralkatorrik;s lieutenants.

Heh, one of the (many) big-name games I haven't played :b Which one, might I ask? (so I can look it up X3)

I don't know "Which One" you mean, but Guild Wars 2. You drew a Charr from that game on a commission, which first drew me to your work.

As far as Lieutenants - None in particular. Just a similar design (It's the purple crystals). There are two known lieutenants - The Shatterer, who gets killed about twelve times per day, and Glint, who decided to Stop Being Evil and got killed in a failed attempt to defeat Kralkatorrik. Leilryu drew a picture of Glint here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16648022/

Today has been a very dragon-filled day for me.

I meant, which lieutenant? You said it reminded you of "one of" them, so was wondering which one so I could see :3

Ahh, I've seen Glint around in art a few times, but haven't heard of the Shatterer :)

Ah, when I meant "One of" I meant it reminds me of the style of Kralk's lieutenants, not any specific one.

My birth month and my gemstone!

:3

In games I enjoy dragons, or creatures in general, which revolve around abstract concepts and unusual materials a lot more than your usual suspects, i.e. elements like fire, water, earth and air.
Your Bestiary has been a pleasure to keep up with so far.

Heh, well, we have the elemental ones as well, but yeah, I'm glad you've been enjoying them. Thank you kindly :) <3

My cousin is going to flip out when she sees this :D
It is beautiful amazing work as always!!

Hehe, glad to hear it! Thank you very much <3

A good suggestion. That dragon looks awesome... Somehow I picture them laying geodes instead of eggs and hatching from them.

Thanks! :O They totally should! <3

So the Amethyst dragon is the only dragon that's the designated driver for the parties. Making sure no other dragon flies drunk xD I mean lets be honest who would want to be in the pathway of flying rocks.

So with being Amethyst does it mean if can dig under the ground and pretend to be just a geode, or maybe when they are young they can roll into a ball and then pop out giving playful little chirps before the Amethysts grow out all of the way to stop the rolling. Also in combat does it have two defenses? Like one for getting through the rock outer layer and then the Amethyst second layer.

PS if it wasn't for spell check all the times I spelled Amethyst would be wrong xD

lol, yeah, Amethyst is sort of the square of the bunch it seems, haha. Just means he's reliable and trustworthy ;)

I'm not sure to the extent the dragons "are" their namesake materials - I've been more thinking of it in looser, more symbolic terms, and trying to fit matching appearances/textures/etc. in whenever possible. I more think of it like, the dragons existed, and because of their properties, the gemstones were named after them, rather than the dragons are literally 100% made up of said gemstone (felt that was a bit limiting artistically).

But yeah, some dragons definitely do seem to be "more" their element/gemstone/whatever than others! As for how they operate in combat, no clue! X3 I'd love for them to be able to roll up into a super tough geode-ball or have some sort of impenetrable geode spore-form or egg or hibernation/regeneration-form, but it's really up to the production team to decide - I just draw pictures X3 I come up with a lot of ideas as part of the conceptual design, but I'm not actually the writer and the final say goes to the project leaders.

Also, yeah, sometimes I'm tempted to spell it Amythest, with the E and Y swapped :b

AAA- Alcoholics Anonymous for Amethyst, a special AA group that holds Amethyst Dragons to an almost deific level of reverence. Often they make pilgrimages to make offerings to one that symbolize their sobriety and otherwise desired purity if they have the means.

*chuckles* That's awesome <3 and also absolutely plausible X3

Yeah, it was just an idea that popped into my head when I first saw this. Good to know that my stream of consciousness isn't always full of nonsense. =P

It certainly appears more tranquil than its relatives.

Heh, yeah, not much motion or activity going on here, just sitting and watching...

Though I have a feeling that would change if some fool actively started trying to antagonize it >_> of course that's true with most beasts.

He is a true beauty. <3
II love this dragon so much. :3

Thank you very much <3
