Description DOVAHKIIN! DOVAHKIIN! FOR THE SAKE OF SKYRIM!

Now this right here.... I am immensely proud of.
I told myself I should challenge myself, so Skyrim fanart was a good place to start.

I decided to draw a picture of my skyrim character with only two tools on photoshop: 9p Brush, Eraser.

Only one layer, no renders, no sketching.
No crop, no selection tool, no warp, no changing brush size or colour.

Zoom in and you will notice I have used no fill tool either, everything on this big big big artwork is just a 9pixel brush.

I would like critique on this because.... wow, 21 hours of scratching my pen head down to size, I am happy with this, but WELCOME gladly some constructive critique.

Oh last detail.... this is my skyrim character Dragomier, an Argonian Warrior Dovahkiin swapping between twohander and dual onehanders depending on foe.

I was a little off drawing a .... LIZARD for the first time in a few years, I convinced myself long ago I was no good at drawing dragons and reptiles... but this.... I like this.
He looks a bit more like a dinosaur than a proper Argonian mind you, this was done WITHOUT reference, meaning I didnt have any good way of pinpointing what his horns look like exactly..... I more or less guessed.

Fus Ro Dah to you all.

Overall

Vision

Originality

Technique

Impact


First off, Skyrim art alone deserves praise. But to do so with ONLY a 9pt. sized brush in Photoshop, and to do so on a single layer is nothing short of an absolute mastery of both art, and video game knowldege. You have earned my respect as both an artist and a gamer.

- The medium: Photoshop. Not an easy thing to master, by any means. To see that you have indeed mastered one of the most technolgical programs in the world, is an acomplishment worthy of praise. To do this image in a single brush size along with a single layer not only proves your skill and deication but an absolute mastery of your own skills as an artist

- The image: All black and white, a classic and often overlooked standard in todays age. To portray an Argonian one of the hardest creatures to draw in the game and to do justice to the games image is impressive. As well as the detail on the armor itself, an appcomplishment only a master could attain.

- Overall: An image I would be proud to see again and again, reminding me how much Skyrim has affected many people and how those people show their love for the game.

You are very welcome. And don't worry about the FusRoDah. Trust me when I say the character will always draw the focus.

Awesome work. After reading description I could only say "awesome" once again. *Thumbs up*

Also Β«... I convinced myself long ago I was no good at drawing dragons and reptiles... but this.... I like thisΒ» kindah caught my eye, coz it was never a problem for me to draw a reptile/insect, but it was always quite a challenge to draw a mammal/bird.

[P.s.: Tho... in my gallery I don't have much stuff posted, haven't been drawing for quite a while (just one dragon there is, not the best one and still not finished).]

Well it was originally intended to be a n Argonian warrior from Skyrim, ended up looking a little more like a dinosaur...
I have the same question for your avatar.... is that an animal or some type of fauna?

Great work, but may have been better shouting "YOL TOOR SHUL". Then it'd be a fire-breathing Argonian, which is pretty awesome.
Great work!

believe me I wanted to do that instead, but I cant draw fire to save my life, and the good ol' fus ro dah is more commonly known by the I-didn't-play-skyrim-rabble.

Thanks

There are many different interpretations of that song.... I wasnt quoting that in particular however, besides not everyone on the internets speak the dragon tongue.
Thanks for your correction anyway, I can fully assure you that it fell on deaf ears.
