Description This took me way too long to finish. I like working in open canvas a whole lot, and hopefully I'll improve with my digital painting skills. It's not often I draw flying dragons, so I wanted to put those wings to work. Perhaps I'll look at some cloud tutorials.

Very nice job with the dragoness and the clouds don't look bad either. She's beautiful.

This turned out sooooo cool, though! The time was well spent, me thinks. The background does seems a bit too soft compared to the crispness of the lines and colors on the dragon, but it does lend to the effect of really making the dragon pop.

The sense of motion is lovely, twirling. You can really see the lift in the wings, and the set of the body. Very nicely done.

beautiful work! The perspective is awsome, and you can really feel the movement in the dragon's wings! Nice character design, too. I spotted your piece in The Dragons of deviantART!

Thanks, I tried to make her look like she was doing some acrobatics in the sky, but I could have probably given her a bit more energetic expression.

Ooh nice! The coloring is awesome, and the perspective really works. You can really sense the movement in this pic too. Wonderful job.

Beautiful! I really like the setting of the pic, the clouds are so cool to look at!.

The design for the dragon is really nice, although it sort of resembles a horse *shrugs* but it looks really good!! I can't draw wings to save my life so you're just awesome!

I'm glad you think so! I was worried the clouds would look strange because they are kind of purpleish.

Try looking at the clouds when the sun is going down or rising, the are purple and stuff.

Yeah, it would be interesting to see what kind of games dragons would play in the sky.

Sindroms In reply to Drekena [2007-11-13 13:58:14 +0000 UTC]

Surely they can think of something close to tag in the sky but then again, that is only a part of the fun of having wings...

Oh wow! This turned out beautifully. I really love the clouds, so puffy. Awesome job with the coloring and perspective. You did a really, really great job.

Thank you, I appreciate that. I tried to make it seem she was twisting in flight, hence the clouds curving in an arc. Glad you liked it.
