Lol, its easy stuff once you learn the secret. Do it on paper, shade it in, scan it, set the layer to multiply and colour basic highlights and shades. Its a great process, but takes a long while.

This is fantastic, Blad. It has astonishing detail and design and is a very in-depth picture that draws you in. The red background compliments the figure rather then dulls it and I am glad to see you were not scared to add a faint mist over your image to add an even great sense of depth.

Well done.

I'd hate to think how long it took to paint the skin.

I think that's why this is so great.

Holy crap, the horns look good! How did you do them?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Bladnoched In reply to Alanard [2008-09-08 20:12:50 +0000 UTC]

Lol, thank you! Its basically the work of a lot of shading; mostly smooth shading mixed with cross hatching (you can see the hatching if you look close) and basically I just made horn scars out of the technique to make the dragon look more battered and scarred.

i love the back ground story to this photo, you can definitely get a feeling of a firey lair when you look at this and the detailing in the body and the horns is great

wow, i can really see texture makes a HUUGE difference!
hmm the only criticism i have for you on this one is about the background: because its a brighter colour than the subject its eye catching, so it somewhat detracts attention from the subject. other than that, which is barely anything at all, i love this picture

Bladnoched In reply to FellAura [2008-09-02 15:24:49 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the critique, I see what you mean I think I was trying to go for the natural shade look, but it probably didnt work out well xD Ill have a go at making the dragon lighter and the bg darker next time ^_^

FellAura In reply to Bladnoched [2008-09-02 23:30:22 +0000 UTC]

well you don't necessarily have to make the background darker, you could just use a cooler or more neutral shade or red thats less bright

Bladnoched In reply to FellAura [2008-09-03 06:28:11 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, thats a point. The scales were bright red at first and the horns, etc were silver. I think I need to work on colour levels, if anything.
