Description
...don't make me come find you.(Are you a beginner with Photoshop like me, and are looking for something quick and easy to paint? Hint: don't choose something with huge flaming wings, surrounded by lava.)
Here's a more traditional dragon than the previous one, except he's on fire instead of breathing it. I figured any respectable fire dragon would be happy to show off their chosen element, right? He doesn't look happy because you just woke him up from a nap. Or it could just be that the whole being-on-fire thing is making him cranky. In any case, you'd better get out, fast.
This fearsome fire dragon was mousedrawn in Photoshop CS from scratch. Took me ages. I so want a tablet.
Looks like this is the beginning of a series of dragons, the first one being the water creature in Underwater .

Hmmm, you've got a point there. I've been thinking about updating this a bit, I'll keep it in mind.

Thanks! Glad to hear your opinion, I was wondering if they worked as I'd hoped.

Hehe... He has a character, I'd say. You may be a beginner, but you already know how to make your pictures alive. Good work!

This is really well done! I like the smudgy feel, cause it makes the atmoshere seem molten. Nice job!

Ooo! I really like how fuzzy this picture is! Have you ever noticed that when you look at fire it can seem sort of hazy? Or, if you look down a tar road on a hot day, and the ground seems to move because of the heat waves coming off the road? It reminds me a lot of that. (Which is a good thing!) I like it a lot!

This is very good for a beginner in PS. The cracks on his back looks very glowy, and it sure looks like he's on fire (witout over doing it too!)
The wings look a bit of thou. Maby theire to black?

Ah, the wings looked perfect (in my opinion) on a white background, but once I started adding the background to this image, the colouring got screwed up and I couldn't make them look as good again.

Wowβ¦ I absolutely love this picture! I love how you made bright cracks in the dradons skin like he is constructed of molten lava and only his hide is keeping him from melting all over the place. I font myself staring at his face, I like the contrast of the eyes and nostril against the darker hue of his skin, also I think this benefits from you drawing a head that is shaped differently then a lot of dragons one tends to find, gives this piece a sense of originality. The only thing I think that would improve this image (I had to look long and hard to find a section that didnβt absolutely enthrall me) is the elbow of the dragon, it looks a bit too rounded, and makes me think of this Gumby toy I had way back when.

very very nice for a beginner photoshop paint!
I like that you kept the "light" flames and lava on the left ... and the cold rock and cave tunnel towards the right ... good composition!

beautiful work, you may add some net shade to the dragon to obtain a greater depth

Thanks for the suggestion, might do that.

Kiehtova.. tuo nÀyttÀÀ tosiaan kuumalta.. kaunis vÀritys ja pehmeys.. jossain kohdin kaipaisin terÀvyyttÀ lisÀÀ, mutta toisaalta toimii noinkin..

Amazing i really love this great job, the colors are fabuloso!

Great work, interesting color choice for the background. I could see less straight lines in the rock formations, but then again that is just my personal opinion, well done.

I absolutely love this. One wee thing I would comment on is the sharpness of the rock behind his legs. His talons feel kinda floaty. But all in all, a fabulous piece
