Oh, hey cool. ^_^
I love the many textures in this piece -- clouds, mountain, dragon, more dragon, dragon, hair, etc etc.
I especially like the dragon's horns, how they're so very real.
If I must summon some critique, I'd say that it looks the slightest bit flat in places. Her arm was the first thing that struck me.
No scales on the dragon's face?
As usual, very nice. ^_^

Elandria In reply to Wolf-kin [2006-01-29 10:32:57 +0000 UTC]

Yer, I see what you're getting at. I had real problems with this piece, since on my comp its so much brighter and you can see all the HUGE amount of detail in my dragon (there are scales on his face) but unfortunately when I uploaded it to DA, the brightness faded to a dull black lol (his scales also have red tints and scorings etc but it all got lost *sulks* I really do want to try and fix this, but as you can imagine, I would pay a lot of money to get a couple of hours added to the day

Thank you for the great crit!

Wow, I'd love to see the full detail. Crazy-amazing.
Of course! ^_^

Wow!! You painted the entire thing? There was no resource image? I am so blown away. This is exquisite. I loved every detail. I can simply "feel" every texture! Bravo, this is one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever seen.

lol, you should have seen my first couple of versions.... >.< I think in the long run it would have been easier to have used a stock photo for the woman.... I think this is actually about Version 16 heheheh Thank you for the lovely comment!!

LadyAmbrosia In reply to Elandria [2005-08-02 15:42:42 +0000 UTC]

I just don't see how on earth you did that. I am not now or ever will be in your league. I just don't have that type of artistic talent in me. I am a poet and songwriter but I think in this medium I simply have an "eye". You my dear are amazing and I mean that with all of my heart. You are born to do this. That truly was the most incredible piece I've seen. Even the talons were perfection and so awesome to look at. I know I am rambling but it was just so wonderful that I think you should be told.

I'm not entirely sure I deserved the credit lol But I do know you are amazing. I still keep looking at Where the Dragons Fly in amazement. *sighs* Keep up the wonderful work hon and never give up what you do best.

Thank you! I'm still worried that he's a bit too dark, as there is an awful lot of detail that gets lost on darker monitors than my own... >.<

Thank you for the comment

trinity-77 In reply to Elandria [2005-08-02 05:15:10 +0000 UTC]

No way!! But i can undestand your dilemma. it's tougher to see texture and detail on a dark object.

Elandria In reply to Ecathe [2005-07-29 11:53:20 +0000 UTC]

Lots of time spent fiddling with tiny details, lots of layers in photoshop, a good idea of what you want the final piece to look like, ideas of colour schemes, and extreme use of the airbrush tool and the blend tools. ^-^

I'd recommend going to take a look at all the great tutorials for photoshop in the resourses section of DA

Thanks for the comment!
