Greetings, all dragon artists! I am looking for the best of the best to draw a dragon character of mine that is my favorite OC for several reasons. The three artists who draw him the best will receive some very special prizes. The Number One artist will receive a massive pile of GB, the number two artist will receive a great pile of gemstones, and the number three will receive a cub sired from my own King/Emperor, Caius Scorpius Martianus! Sixteen artists are allowed to enter! Rules for your art are as follows:

1: No NSFW/18+ art is to be entered in the contest. Must adhere to site rules, after all.
2: You are free to include your own characters in the art commission, so long as it is within the context of the world he's in (no necessarily modern phenomenon/organizations/events like BLM, Pride Parades, or cell phones, as he governs a Middle Ages centered Christian kingdom, so such things would not have been present).
3: Make sure you study his reference sheet carefully (as well as the picture that comes with it) so that you don't miss anything about him in your work, such as jewelry or horn placement.
4: Only present your best completed work in this thread. You can mail me sketches and WIPs in my PMs. Would rather keep this clean and neat for everyone.
5: Dorusia's capital of Galdia, as well as the majority of the kingdom, save for a few cities like St. Irenaeus, is mainly an architectural mix of medieval Italian and Romanian buildings, with my OCs home, Fortress Galdia, being the exception, as the inner keep is a mix of Schweriner Schloss and Miramare Castle, while the outer walls are a mix of Castillo de Coca and Cité de Carcassonne. So make sure to study these environments (as well as the actual richness of the culture and time of the Middle Ages) for your artwork!

Other than these five rules, anything goes for your art! You can have him doing whatever you want him to do in it! Eating, reading, whatever! New deadline for the art contest is October 28th, so make sure you don't stress out too much over your art! Winners will be declared October 30th!

1: ShadeX (Penta Ros Bean)(#191519)[Art Submitted]

Here is whom you all will be drawing!

Name: Daraxu Voidbelly
Age: 28 years old
Gender: Drake (Male)
Species: Mountain Dragon
Parents: Hintor Voidbelly (birth father, deceased), Voliana Voidbelly (birth mother, deceased), Nestoro Adamson (surrogate father/caretaker, alive)
Looks: https://sta.sh/024eut1ala9y
Current Personality: Heavily gluttonous (but rather shy about it), polite, kind, caring, gentle, loyal to his kingdom and those he truly cares about, charming (in the kind, endearing way, not the cocky way), studious, virtuous, loving, and quite the romantic
Nicknames: Daraxu the Vast, The Holy Voidbelly, Daraxu the Dove-Hearted, Daraxu the Merciful
Position: 21st King of Dorusia
Beliefs: Christianity (He leans towards Presbyterianism, but appreciates the works of other Christian denominations)
Likes: Reading (especially if they're intellectual books on philosophy, theology, science, economics and mathematics), taking care of his kingdom, sweets, food, females, Christian thought
Current Dislikes: Dishonesty, tyranny, his gluttony, how big he's getting, those who threaten his kingdom and loved ones
Current Weight: 960,544 pounds (and going up each day)
BMI: 50+ (Obese)
Backstory: Daraxu was born into a line of proud tyrants that had oppressed Dorusia for over five hundred years. When he hatched, a witch cursed him with a gluttonous hunger that would one day cause him to consume his entire kingdom, buildings and all, if the Voidbelly's never changed, as revenge for his father Hintor nearly executing the witch's entire clan. After the Dorusian public revolted and executed his parents, his caretaker, a Magma dragon named Nestoro, convinced the people that Daraxu could be raised to be a better leader than his ancestors...

entering!! i have a question though- depending on how long it takes the artists to actually get a drawing out, would we be able to remake it at a later date? as well as; are we allowed to submit multiple pieces?

@Lun Remaking and reworking, yes, that is definitely a good idea! Allows artists such as yourself to improve on your skills! As for posting multiple pieces, so long as they are complete and are exemplary examples of your skills as an artist, then yes, posting multiple pieces is allowed. ^-^

@HeatWaves So that everyone can be able to see your work, I would like it if all completed art pieces are posted here in this thread. Though if you or other artists would also like to send the completed work to my pms as well, I'm perfectly fine with that.

Okay a few things I need to adress

One: Are backgrounds required? I don't draw human buildings, so Outside is my go to or rocky areas or sky

Two: Can he fly? the wings in the reference dont look like he can

Three: We need a color pallete to be accurate, a ref sheet with shading makes color picking and Accuracy difficult

Four: That image is quite Styalized so does that mean people who do Semi realism arent viable?

@Kumniver Okay... so to address these questions in order, concerning backgrounds, they aren't necessarily required, but if you can do a background to better reflect the world of Dorusia, then that would be even better. As for whether Daraxu can fly, yes, Daraxu can, despite his sheer weight. He exercises as often as possible so that he can support his weight. As for his colors, he's a black colored dragon with a golden yellow underside and gold webbing on his wings. And his eyes are a deep sapphire blue. And as for whether artists that have semi realistic drawing styles are allowed to enter, the answer is an absolute yes! In fact, that's why I encouraged artists to examine the culture of the Middle Ages, so as to let that semi realistic aspect shine in their work!
