Description
This one took some effort and a half.I decided to try making a picture entirely within Photoshop Elements, as a test of what I can do with a larger canvas and plenty of time. The style of the final image isn't what I was originally aiming for, but I decided to have fun, and run with it. I'm rather satisfied with the result. The coloring was especially fun.
I don't draw city landscapes like this very often, or vehicles, so it it was definitely a learning experience, too.
Many circles were made with the circle brush in this pack: [link]
Now, I should see if I can match the quality of this picture entirely with oekaki.
As always, comments and criticism are always welcome.
I may update it if I see something that needs to be fixed.
Minor edit: Reflections

Ah, I just built a magic circle thing out of shapes. I just made it to look cool.
It was rather easy to draw, too.
I think magic circles like that are always fun.

But it's still running on my mind ^^ Where did I see it ? xD

Amazing!!! That big dragon is very intimidating!!!

Thanks.
Putting bigger things farther away makes them seem massive.
This was a fun one to make, but it took a looong time. I think I can do better work on oekaki boards than in Photoshop.

O.o that it amazing. I love your line art, I hate doing line art in photoshop. The whole drawing it just fun to look at. It makes you wonder whats going to happen next. I can't belive you did those buildings I would of died drawing those. You such an amazing artist

Thanks.
The buildings took a while, but I think they definitely add to the picture. I might have to try this one again with a different style, some time.
In a way, I really like how it turned out, but in another way, I think my standard oekakis have a bit better detail.
Photoshop is kind of a pain. I'm better with Shii Painter.

That's great art!! I like how the head of the red dragon reflect on the building ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you.
The reflections were fun to work on, but this was a rather difficult picture overall. I don't make too many city scenes.

Thanks.
It was one of those where it just felt like the sketch was practically oozing with potential, so it was a lot of fun to work on.
Didn't turn out exactly like I first thought, but It was a lot of fun, and I'm happy with the result.

Very nice work! A lot of people don't give PS Elements enough credit, but you've really done a great job showing not only how versatile it can be, but that is can be a viable alternative to the much more expensive Photoshop CS(x).
Also the placement of the copyright is very clever
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you.
I think in most cases it is quite a viable alternative.
The interface is a bit icky, but it is a very similar program, under the hood.

Oh wooow this is stunning! It's so nice to see some high res drawings from you, and the detail in this is amazing. You're so talented with lighting as well *_*

Thank you.
I usually enjoy working on the lighting.
It's a good way to add atmosphere and tie the setting together.

This is very very kool
I love the lil blue dragon, and the human is kool, but with their placement it does kinda look like a kid in a costume.
Those runes are great 
It seems like the reflection in the window would be a bit more like the light blue of the symbol.
Great Work Azure! def fav

Thanks.
Placing the two of them was the toughest part of the positioning. I wanted the dragon to not be really tiny, but I did want it to be sitting on him in some way. Maybe I'll mess with the colors a little bit, so they stand out a bit more.

car seems a little off, but besides that, it looks great!

Made a minor edit to the car. It's still a bit off, but I think it fits in a bit better now.
Thanks for pointing that out.

This looks very good, it is one of them works of art that I want to see what happens next in, to me It looks like there is going to be a battle. The whole image is very well put together. I love how the little blue dragon looks.
The refections on the buildings look good, but I think some of the other surfaces should have some hint of reflection from the glowing circles. Like the car windows and even the car if its shiny.
A very good piece of art

Thanks.
Thanks for pointing out the reflection thing on the car, too. I can make a small edit to fix that. I forgot about the car windows completely.

Epic indeed
I wonder what is going to happen next?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks.
I thought those runes would be a interesting way to give a bit more definition to the two dragons.
I was thinking about doing a follow up picture some time, but probably not right away.
This picture was epic, in the time it took to make it, too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It definitely shows
More rune-marked dragons in the future? :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Rune marked dragons are fun.
I think I need to do a water dragon some time. With fancy fins, and glowy runes, and lights like those angler fish.
Those are sort of common, though. Maybe I can make it interesting, though.

Extraordinary. Very epic. Yes. This looks like the cover of a graphic novel, or a scene from a cartoon. Professional. You're truly amazing, A z u r e. D:
