NiGHTS-Persona Form-Dragon

(Fullview, fools!)

HAPPY NEW YEAR! This is my gift to you, fellow watchers: my first drawing of 2009!

A lesser known fact for those of you who haven't plated Journey of Dreams yet: NiGHTS can, indeed, shapeshift. This form (Accessed via "Persona Mask".) happens to be my favorite.

Ha, it wasn't even two minutes into the new year when I started sketching this puppy. I had printed this picture off: (click! [link]) and taken it along with me to a new-years party at our next door neighbors. (A bunch of the adults were doing double takes, lol) When I got home, I used this screenshot: (click! [link]) to finish off the tail.

Lemme tell you guys: that mask is a royal pain-in-the-ass to draw. So many little, little details that my perfectionism just LOVES to bother me with. I think it turned out all right though. Could probably fix the tail, but oh well.
As for the second-to-final section of the tail, I faintly outlined the pattern on NiGHTS's (normal form) sleeves, but not too dark, 'cause I'm not sure if I really saw them there or not (I'm about 85% sure I did, though. And all the other ref-pics I found were either too small or too blurry)

If you even DARE ask me to color this, I will sic Dragon-NiGHTS here on you (it took too long to draw, and I'm sure as hell not outlining it anytime soon.)
... actually, I WILL color it someday, but most DEFINATELY not now.

*random thought* Dudes, wouldn't it be awesome to have one of these things guarding your house? Heh heh, "Beware of Nightmaren"
