Description Whew..

Finished this just now. I have to say, i'm quite happy with it.




A common theme that shows itself in numerous medias.. I think it's important to realize that technology and nature are just as alike as they are different. The complexities of DNA vs. the natural aging process of a computer.
They are one in the same.



Took about 3 hours in GIMP. Critiques and comments would be appreciated as always.

Jeez. That is frikken awesome. Inspired by Black & White at all? Might just stick this as my wallpaper, if that's cool with you..

I love the lightning-ish veins in the Dragon's wings; little things that the picture would still be mostly the same without, but you stick them in anyhow and they look awesome.

Now, I've been gone a while. I've gotta catch up an all of the rest of your stuff. Hopefully something else as awesome as this will be hiding in there somewhere. ^w^

Thanks!! And no, but I can definitely see why you'd say that. Tech vs. Nature, giant electric dragon, etc.. The similarities are there, but werent intended.

Yeah, go for it! I dont mind.


XD Once again, thank you! I'm glad you noticed the veins.. thought that was a cool addition. But yeah, I appreciate the comment.. ^^

Looks awesome, but, and I know you're gonna hate me for this, but this one too could use more light and dark effects. Those lightning strikes should propably cast some really bright flashes at the dragon and make for some really nice shadows as well.
Overall it's great, but as allways, it can be better. You keep up the good work.

Kansaibou In reply to Dark-Master-Mephisto [2011-04-19 05:55:16 +0000 UTC]

XD no, I actually appreciate it.. Yes, you are right, the lightning should be creating more light. Not sure why I didn't pick that up before..

Thanks!

Wow u deserve some more attention over this, really worth submiting to a few groups, maybe u should of put it in another catogry thou
Doesn't lightning general light even in the clouds ? above
Maybe it'd stand out abit more that way,

But really really nice !

Oh, you think so? o.o What category do you think would fit? I usually just have an auto pick that I don't really pay attention to ^^'

And yes, you're right, I did miss that. Thank you very much! I appreciate the critique, quite a bit.

And once agian, thank you!

Keuri In reply to Kansaibou [2011-04-12 00:26:13 +0000 UTC]

possibly any of these

Digital art Drawings Fantasy/Sci fi
Digital art mixed media sci fi

I think people that more likely apreicate this pictular kind of scene will look in these area's rather then the normaly slightly cutsie/warm themed in anime/manga
Could just be my personal opinion
