The more you tell him to spell it proper, the more effort he'll put into doing it wrong. He's abrasive that way.

I want to use this also!
ElectronX, you've been missed. Hope you will bring us up to date one of these days.

I've been around, but I've just been really quiet

DragonVale has grown so much over the faire event, that my current technology has been falling behind trying to keep up with it. I can hardly get it to run for more than 20 seconds before I'm booted out of the game

I start college next week, but throughout the summer I've been keeping myself busy with more cartooning and illustration work. Drawing dragons and other reptiles of course

Oh come one, please please please let me POTM this. No? Dang.

These are stunning. The way you jam pack the pictures full with detail is stunning, the colours work SO well....

I would buy these if I could, this is the kind of art that I would proudly display on my wall for all to see. My personal fav has to be that last one, the colours were so vibrant and I thought they worked magnificently! The first picture is also awe inspiring, the way the dragon feels as though it is caught at the very moment it is striking something, and the movement you achieve in the picture is wonderful!
The pic of the baby dragons playing are also really cool and very cute.

I always used to manually replace mine, then I just used apple's system of using key words which immediately expand to longer words. JV immediately becomes jv for me. 

Strange. jv gets auto-incorrected to JV for me.

Btw the entire ditty:
I'm a little teapot
Short and stout (action: squat down)
Here is my handle ( one hand on hip)
Here is my spout (other hand raised in the air)
Tip me over ( bend to the side)
Pour me out.

A common variant is
...
Here is my spout ( other hand on hip)
Pause
Oh wait. I'm a sugar bowl!

I knew of the original, but I've never heard the variant. How odd.

This is clearly a classical case of an older mod. picking on the younger mod. 

Now now, jv don't cry.  Things are going to be alright.  

*sniffles* I know, he's been bullying me for a long time. And before that he was known for abusing his mod powers and bullying wapatango. He seems too feed on fear, and enjoys the consequences of his evil. ;(

So it seems. He just finds ways to make us feel pain, and one way is to incorrectly spell words, causing our Grammar Borg to feel immense pain.

DV has released some pretty rad looking dragons



WIP of something bigger than what I could possibly chew 

[ElektronX]

Thought it would be fun to show the boringly long process of ert I still have a long ways to go.

[wOMantraNOM]

ElektronX, this step by step demo is like sunrise on the Monolith, a magnificent and mysterious revelation! Your work is just absolutely wonderful! I wouldn't have thought that the collection of heads you sketched first was going to become this dramatic presentation. Bravo!

[ElektronX]

Event Horizon

Don't forget to check out the sky tonight for a huge blood moon!

[wOMantraNOM]

It is Huuuuge! And the smoky eclipse is spooooky.

Spectacular, ElektronX! Strong sense of motion, we can almost see the movie!

I only got to see a glimpse of it, but it was very cool to look at while it lasted

ElektronX, I love the dragons playing in the puddle. That is my favorite in the group. I always enjoy seeing your doodles which are amazing to me since I can't really draw at all.

I too am one of the worst artists to walk the earth. Well wapatango may not be, but I most certainly am!
So seeing someone who has a natural talent for art has always fascinated me, especially when I like what they draw. My best friend is one of the best artists I know and I could gawk at his art for hours, the same is true of yours! So stunning!

Hehe, hey, it all takes lots of practice and motivation to achieve what you want Lots of time and work is put into it too, because we all have to start somewhere

I prefer to create pictures with my words, and trust me your "starting somewhere" art is FAR better than my "getting good" art!

Hey everyone! Thought I'd pop in for a bit to check on my DV friends! Looks like elektronX is continue to enthrall with cool dragon sketches! I've been on a crazy rollercoaster ride the last couple years. Laid off, found a new job, then laid off again. While searching for a new job, tried to make some money from my art. That led to starting a Facebook group, starting a new website, and then launching a magazine! (And no longer looking for a job, since the magazine, website, and Facebook group take all of my time! I'm hoping it will grow into a business that at least makes as much as my former job.)

Anyway, thought I'd share the magazine site with you all, since it's art-related! ColorOnMag.com. I also have a new dragon inked... I hope to have one for each element, eventually.

Greetings from above the clouds with air norwegian
Saw this today in Stockholm.
Dear old Kairos having a hard time in the rain.

[oldsmol]

Maybe you want to know who the painter is?



This is my old avatar used in Ipadforum Dragonvale Tips & tricks, where some of you also were members ☺️
Remember @ladyredwolf ?

It's a screenshot from DV converted to a Snowy Kairos in PS. How to o this you can find on internet.

[jamesvaler]

Thats a cool picture! Bfs could learn from it for sure!

[ElektronX]

Hey guys, I know it's not DragonVale related, but here, have a nebula/space dragon

Back to hibernation for me until next month.

[crumble608]

Wow
*jdrops jaw*

[jamesvaler]

Same reaction as ever.

I'm speechless.

ElektronX - Formidable! Lush! Fearsome!
