So I want to make a dragon that is based on the constellation Delphinus.. Which is the Dolphin Constellation. So basically a Dolphin-Dragon hybrid. I need a fully shaded template for this. The template must have the webbed wings of a dragon and at least the tail of a dolphin, though if you can incorporate some other features like the dorsal fin, that would be great. I do want it to have the dragon legs/claws, but otherwise feel free to experiment. This is for an AU Dragonriders of Pern site. A final note, I need this done within a week to 10 days.

If you are up for this task, I can pay in diamonds or gold or pets. I might be able to spare USD if necessary, but would greatly prefer the aforementioned methods of payment. I also have some stuff hoarded on FR, so if you'd prefer that, I can give you a list.

I could try to do this, if you'd like. Most likely, I'd be able to finish today, as I am free of any other work.

Can I see some examples of your work?

Yes, you may. I admit that these are rather old, and I could most likely do better by now.

Have you ever made a layered template before, with full shading? Your work looks good but it looks like mostly straight drawings. Also one more note I forgot in the main post. I need to be able to use ot with GIMP.

Side note: I am at work so responses might be slow

I do not believe that I have made a fully shaded template before, however I can try to make an example of one, if you'd like. I try to use layers when I am able to, but most of the time I do not. All images that I post should be compatible.

Now that I'm at a computer, I can show you some the templates I usually work with. If you still want to try it, I'm okay with that. I want the shading on it's own layer(s) at least. I'd like for the wingsails and dolphin tail to have their own layers too, but I know how to do that myself if you don't want to, or forget to. What sort of pricing are you looking at?

Ah, thank you. I will see what I can do, and if you don't like it, then it was worth a try.

Thank you! :) I'll pay you something whether I decide to use it or not. It's not fair for you to use up time you could be using on other projects and not get anything for it. :) Just ping me when you're done or if you want me to look at any in progress work.

No need to have to do that, I assure you. Seeing that I found out that I have strep, I might have some more spare time.
