Aderia Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I just can't get over how much I love this picture!!! I just really admire any digital artwork, ever. So much details!! =O Plus plus plus plus plus plus!! The birdie is really really adorable =3 And ummm I can't say much else, except keep up the awesomeness. And didn't you say this was your first ever dragon? I'm still admiring it. Still. =D Quote (disclaimer: none of this banner art is original, I just smooshed it together in gimp.

Kaleidoscope Tekulo Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I really like the dragon's design. I like the theme set in winter and the dragon's coloration seems to fit very well. Its spine looks almost like cold fire; if you recolored the dragon in warm colors it would look like a dragon that might dwell in a volcano. I like seeing that design mixed with the cool colors. Now, the scale patterns could use some work. I'm by no means an expert on scales, however, I feel the pattern should help mold the shape of his face (smaller near the eyes in an almost circular fashion and expanding outwards, a notable lip line near the mouth, etc. I'd recommend looking up reptile references and maybe some fish if you ever wanted to draw an aquatic dragon). Also, I think his left paw has his claw digits too short towards the middle. As for the concept, I like how we're only seeing part of the dragon here, and I love how he's just staring at the bird in front of him. I also think the red in the wood and the bird also give a nice contrast to the white snow and blue of the dragon and I like that his shadow is a warm color as well. Overall, this is a nice drawing in my opinion. I haven't drawn many dragons myself, so I'm afraid I can't offer too much more criticism.

SkyLandOceAnna Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 That is brilliant. You have some great artistic ability. I really like your design and color scheme. Great job! I hope to see more of your work! Quote Wordsmith <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezorov Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 @Tekulo: As much time as I worked on the scales, I definitely wish I could've put more work into them, and I'll definitely keep your suggestions in mind for the next dragon I attempt (gah, an aquatic dragon D: that's definitely next on my list!!). But yeah, now that you point it out, I do see that his fingers are at awkward lengths. >.< I'll have to watch out for that next time.And thank you for the fantastic critique/comment. : D@Aderia and Sky: Ahh, thanks so much for the encouraging comments! c: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protodite Karzahni Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I'll admit, just the word dragon was enough to draw me in. And I really like this picture, I think the detail in the scales is simply fantastic and his (assuming it's a he) expression while staring at the robin is adorable. The melted snow around him is a really nice detail as well. I guess the only thing I'm unsure about is the rather sharp jawline, but that's a minor qualm. A very nice job. =D Quote I wrote stories once. They were okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach 00 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 This is adorable! The dragon's expression is priceless, and the bird is cute. Which reminds me, I now need to go and write a background story to this picture because this is just too good to pass up. xD So, in all, it is an adorable piece of art, and keep up the good work. Sorry for an incredibly short review, but math is keeping me busy at the moment, and I wanted to comment on this. Fantastic job again. =) Quote On the day the wall came down / They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high / We raised a cry / For freedom had arrived On the day the wall came down / The ship of fools had finally run aground Promises lit up the night / Like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side / No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me / It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day / As friends and neighbors turn away And there's a change that even with regret / Cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands / While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history / In shades of grey I woke to the sound of drums / The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you / And all but the bitter residues slipped away slipped away...

I'm very happy to hear you liked it! And honestly I wasn't entirely sure if the snow turned out the greatest (it's actually not very easy to draw I found D:)but it's good to know that it worked out well regardless. But yeah, I see what you mean about his jaw, and thank you for pointing it out.Anywho, thanks a ton for dropping by and leaving such a nice comment! c:Sorry I took so long to reply ^^; This is adorable!

Ahhh, I would be honoured if you wrote a story based off of this!And it's definitely not a problem; any comment at all is very much appreciated. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
