I'm glad you liked this one. He's my husband... lol! This one took me FOREVER to finish. There were so many details that I had to do, but, I liked it. My fave part of this one is his Blue Eyes White Dragon armor. It was really difficult to shade it to make it look like metal. Thank you so much for your comments.

Metal can be so tricky, huh? You did such an excellent job. It looks totally solid. You render your husband well! LOL

    Well, thank you. Thank you very much. *holds head up high* You are too kind. Metal sucks to draw. Luckily, I found the easy way to do it when I made this.

      Really? There's an easy way? Spill, spill, spill!

        Okay, Okay! Hee, Hee, Hee. The trick is in the shading. First figure out where your "light" on the picture is coming from. Imagine where the light would be shining... those parts would be the whitest because they're closest to the light. Of course, the farther away from the light, the darker the shading. For example... on his collar, the light was hitting it head on so it's the brightest there in the front. Then as you go around towards the back of the collar, the shading gets darker. The trick with drawing something metal is that it's supposed to be shiny. So leaving alot of it bright will give off the illusion that it really sparkles. Whew! * wipes sweat from forehead*
