Description

Because Xenoblade Chronicles has a pretty sexy OST ewe
The last time I drew a picture with a background and a character in it was over a year ago >-> Although I'm glad the improvement is showing, agh.
Scales are overdone I know but oh wellelelele

Hooded-Pigeon [2015-04-11 18:44:52 +0000 UTC]

Awesome scale lighting here! The effects of the dragon are very detailed. The texture of the bark and grass are also nice.
This, however, brings about a problem in the photo.
See, the tree doesn't really merge with her as well as it could. It doesn't really look as if she's actually standing in it. The leaves are blurry and they don't go very well with her shiny scales. They don't really stand out as well, so it looks like she's in a bit of a blurry mess. In this camera angle, the leaves would stand out more. They tend to be blurry the closer they get to the camera, not farther away. (Unless they're supposed to be WAY in the back. The tree here is a prime object in the picture, so its leaves need to be distinct.)
The size of the tree is also very small. Compared to Phendrana, I'd say the tree is about as big as her. Phendrana looks very large here and it really draws out from the size proportions. (Unless a tiny tree was your intention, which I doubt) This also takes away the weight proportions. Due to the tree being as small as it is and the fact that she's nearly at the very tip of the branch, it wouldn't hold Phendrana. The tree's entire limb would snap right out from under her. It doesn't really look like there is a branch there. You look like you're forgetting that trees have branches. Be sure to include those next time! Branches are a key part in trees! Don't make it look like a bush on top of a trunk!
For improvement next time, I suggest making the tree a lot bigger and more distinguishable. It may be a lot of work, making each leaf prominent, but it really pays off in the end. You seem to have dragons down, so stop with them and start on background practice.
Nevertheless, you are improving.

I actually adore comments like these :'D Even if they just outline what I already dislike lol
The tree isn't dark enough and there's not shading underneath her, which was probably one of the biggest factors; I also totally agree that the leaves should be waaay more detailed haha
The worst part is that I actually spent ages in making branches of which barely 1% is visible because the overlay I added on top to merge the image took them out x'D
Damn trees will be the end of me-
THE TINY TREE WAS ACTUALLY INTENDED
DAMNIT
//dies
she's a lot bigger now ovo I'm not sure if the branches would snap though, since her flesh/bones must be pretty low density in order to allow her to fly? It's a point though, I'll have to get my nerd glasses out and work her bodymass ratio sometime lmao
The tree and the grass are definitely what I like the least :'D If you remove the leaves she could honestly be sitting on a cloud x''D

Hooded-Pigeon In reply to Asqard [2015-04-11 19:52:07 +0000 UTC]

Wings as big as hers wouldn't be necessary if she was nearly weightless. Despite this, compared to her size, the branch would snap anyway...

Asqard In reply to Hooded-Pigeon [2015-04-11 19:54:47 +0000 UTC]

Her wings are actually pretty small in this picture haha// Most flying creatures have wings twice the size of their body if you work out the areas

Hooded-Pigeon In reply to Asqard [2015-04-11 20:00:24 +0000 UTC]

Still, due to the size of the tree, the branch would snap under her.

Asqard In reply to Hooded-Pigeon [2015-04-13 18:25:57 +0000 UTC]

Personally I don't think it would if you consider what her weight would be as well as the density of the wood, but... Meh. Even if she was too heavy, it's fantasy isn't it? c;

Hooded-Pigeon In reply to Asqard [2015-04-13 21:28:07 +0000 UTC]

It's fantasy, but that means nothing. You should take almost every portion of reality into account when it comes to proportions.
