Description This is a gift for my new bud for helping me with my artistic approach, and for being an awesome guy in general. It's his character jumping off a cliff preparing for flight or something . I still need practice on the legs and wings, but it takes time. Thanks again, Mastel! I hope I didn't let you down!

EDIT: Added glow for teh epicness!

The wings look great. The leg that is back, the upper thigh does does not look as round as the one on the ground. Maybe evening those out would work a little.

Nice work on the hair texture and background! The only thing i think that needs to be to be developed is muscle definition, but that will come in time

sure there are some flaws, but ya gotta admit- dark dragons jumping off of cliffs in the moonlight is epic. There's no getting around it

the coloring is fantastic (darn you and your fancy photoshop!), but with the grass I say make less of it so it looks like it isn't hanging off the cliff, and make it a shade darker. My only other advice is this- wrinkles and curves. With wrinkles it doesn't seem like much, but adding small lines of detail to the body in the just the right places makes it look a ton better. As for curves, you did pretty good- the only noticeable part is the middle body, as it seems a bit stiff. This has been a critic from a guy who is too cheap to buy a member ship

Thanks for the critique! The lines and curves does make it look better, but I never know where to put them...I envy your work sooo much right there . You make everything look squishy and huggable! xD. I'm not sure why, but everyone always looks tense in my drawings

yoshidaslayer In reply to blackminorscales [2009-06-23 05:33:09 +0000 UTC]

thanx
i'm glad my drawings look huggable
my advice to you is this- if you're having real trouble with how a body would look in a certain pose or how a certain body-part looks, just observe your own body. Like look at your forearm right now- notice how at the bottom it's wider, but then it curves inward about half-way up. Noticing details like that is what helped me get started drawing

hmmm well... it has mistakes that I will critique if you let me D:

some of the grass is magicaly floatiiin

his right leg is dislocated

the eye is strange, maybe because it's drawn for front faces when he is in side... I used to do that alot tho


and those are the 3 main flaws

blackminorscales In reply to Sc0t1n4t0r [2009-06-21 03:09:25 +0000 UTC]

I should be able to fix the grass a little, and the eye shouldnt be too hard. And like I said in the comments, I still need work on legs. I'll try to fix it a little, but don't expect much
