Oh wow Lanique that is AMAZING! The scales, the girl, everything! I don't know how you do it, I envy your talent. ;O; I bet if it was me who had done this? I would probably take months doing it. Photoshop always makes art look so amazing.. I should probably practice with it more myself so I can improve with it as well.. and maybe be as good as you some day (small chance of that happening but it's worth a shot

Great detail on the clothes! Do you ever make textures for meshes? If you don't, you should consider it--looks like you'd be pretty good.

very dramatic, love the color. I like how they have the same eye color, makes you wonder about their relationship ^_-

YOU. Holy snap. YOU are an amazing artist. I am shocked as to why this does not have more attention. LOOK AT THAT DETAIL. That's absolutely incredible. <3

mostly just brush and doge&burn, then some splattering on an overlay layer and ALOT of patience, took forever!

I imagine. It was definitely worth the patience.

Wonderful job. I can see the level of detail you put into this. It's mind-boggling.
I would suggest putting more warmth into her skin. Try a light dusting of orange and using a dark-but-not-THAT-dark red/purple as a shadow color (Darker than what you have here, but not almost-black, either). See what that does for you.

Wow, the detail and design are amazing! I love the detail on the scales and her clothing especially. ^_^ Also the colors you chose were very good.

lanique i need your supa pro help!
can you give me tips to drawing realisticly like that again?
like do I use 100% smudge? How many colors when smudging? no matter what I do,
it always ends up like looking... cartoony or POOPY.
any overlaying layers i need to do?
GAHHH sadSADSDFSASF

i use around 45 to 48% smudge,and its just really to smoothen it out, you should have the basic colors already, brush them in where you want them to be, then smoothen it, mix them up, brush again, smoothen, brush, and so on until it looks right to you, from your dragon knight i can tell you used like 100%, which is just like pushing around the color

yaaaaaay a lanique guide!!
alright so I never did the brush smooth repeat method i should try that.
also yeah im working on large scale canvas, and i used a bunch
of layers.. but uh, do u use overlay at all?
and do I make a whole layer about making highlights?
do you make a sketch at the beginning?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
