I really like the pose and expression on this one. Perhaps if you wanted to take even more time on lighting effects you could add some interesting silhouette shadows of the dragon's body through the wings, but that would be tough. Great job!

Lovely picture. <3
I don't know why, but I tried very hard to find something wrong with it, and I believe that the right wing is pulled a smidgeon too far back, and the head is a might too small, if you don't mind my harsh critiques.
I would like to stress the fact that I was being VERY picky when I made those observations. The picture is still VERY well-made. It's excruciatingly difficult to line up All anatomy in a picture, which is one reason I was too lazy to finish that picture of Nulizz, and a reason I'm not completely satisfied with the drawing I did for you... ^.¥.^;

Azura88 In reply to Mister--Dessy [2008-10-28 00:37:49 +0000 UTC]

No worries. I know you mean well, so I like to see what I'm doing that can be improved. Thank you very much.
You are a wonderful artist ^.=.^.

...But me? A wonderful artist? Ha!
You, deary, are a far better artist than I am, especially since you keep making art. Even if I WAS better at making pictures, my laziness and procrastination would make me the worser artist. >.¥.o

Azura88 In reply to Mister--Dessy [2008-10-28 18:08:56 +0000 UTC]

You don't have to do drawings to be a wonderful artist. You're writing is extremely good (and yes...you can draw very well).

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Mister--Dessy In reply to Azura88 [2008-10-29 03:50:28 +0000 UTC]

Yes you do. Talent isn't nearly as important as dedication, because it's hard to get better without practice. (I kinda just get better at reading, writing, drawing, and whatnot as I get older... ...but that's very limited, being that one can't be the best at something they never do.)

You flatter me, though: my writing is what it is because I say exactly what I mean, and tend to make it sound the way I want it to. It's a skill that comes with the way I think, which is not in pictures, but in monologue, as if I was explaining something to myself or someone in my head ('s why I'm pretty good at explaining stuff to real people, too). Well, it may sound like just another way of talking to yourself, but I like my way of thinking. It seems to work pretty well. ;3
Thanks for the compliments. <3

I really like this, Azura :> Especially the placement of the sun where his hand is; it along with his facial expression makes it look to me like he's saying "All of this is my realm, and I wish to show it to you." Overall very well done.
