Description Oh, my dear god... I can't feel my fingers. I think a couple actually broke off and now I can't find them. . . . on the floor here - somewhere.

Anyway! This took me about, oh - I don't know - 14 hours to complete. Over the course of two days, of course. Please keep in mind that I have JUST learned how to paint. Period. First painting ever. And I suck at backgrounds. Gotta find a tutorial for that.

The original sketch is NOT MINE! I don't draw aminals so well, so the credit goes to for the sketchy sketch! I just painted. Hope you like it. Please critique.

Damn it, there go my arms....

On a side note, I found out this dragon is called Cy'On, and there's a description about it by GaminGeek here: [link]

This lineart was found at Color-Me-Club!

Beautiful work...very creative too. I'm not sure I've ever seen a dragon quite like it.

Oh, my gods! Thank you! You are far too nice with your comments. Or maybe I just feel that way since lately I've been really down about my skills. Sort of depressed and discouraged. You're a very sweet person. Thank you again.

yea, well. just ask anybody about my comments and you'll find that i am very encouraging about what i say, but then look at the crowd i hang out with and tell me how i can say anything bad about anything they do. as far as your work goes, their is no reason to feel down about your skills nor be discouraged. if anything you should feel elation, what you have just done is taken a line art from one of the most talented artists on da and transformed it into something that transcends beauty itself. regardless if this is your first or not it is incredible and no amount of praise from me nor anybody else can bring justice to your skill or ability. and seeing as how this is your first painting i can only assume that your skill will continue to grow in the future and become something truly benevolent in its very essence. i congratulate you again on your tremendous ability and genuinely hope to see more of you work in the near future.

P.S.
yes, i do enjoy typing, and any time i find out that somebody as talented as you are starting to doubt their own abilities i take it as my personal responsibility to pester the hell out of them until they (even superficially) admit to their superiority

very original design, a lucid looking creature. although a little more deffinition couldn't hurt.

LunarCrystal In reply to Xero1 [2006-02-03 20:52:16 +0000 UTC]

OOoh, definition? How? I'm not quite sure what definition means? Remember, I've never painted before, really. So this terminology is new to me.

Xero1 In reply to LunarCrystal [2006-02-03 21:37:40 +0000 UTC]

deffinition is Clairty the crispness of the image, rather then some vague bluriness.

first painting ever?? that's insane. this is fabulous. the contrast in shading is really well done, and the the mask and ring r colored terrifically--u gave em a lot of depth so that it has texture. the colors r wonderful, too. and for sum1 who sucks at backgrounds, u astound me. cus that's actually a really GREAT bg! i luv how it's jumping out of the water like that. AHH I LUV IT!! thank u soooooooo much for coloring it

*falls over* Thank you so much!! I had this horrible fear that you were going to hate it and demand that I take it down (worst case scenario anyway - ) I'm really happy that you like it. I'd love to try another one of your linearts if you'd let me. ^.^

Liquid-KaKa In reply to LunarCrystal [2006-02-03 07:28:21 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. They say that a computer won't paint for you, that the artist does most of the work. But really, as long as I took my time with everything - they sort of worked themselves out. I still don't know how I did it! lol! You know, if you compared it to my other stuff . . . weird.
