Description
Finished commission for ~Prowler7
A reptile character attacks the coyote to collect his soul with the help of a lightning. Unfortunately, the lightning caused a mess and left the coyote's body badly injured back.
If you think this is too bloody for the general public, please tell me, then I would add the Mature-tag
..and click download for a higher resolution- trust me, it worths a view... I didn't spent so many hours for nothing

Wow!.. The luminosity of the scales was achieved very well! I can't help but see the side of the mountain and ground looking more picturesque and textured, like some game art. I think the only thing that would make this better is if the light from the dragon were reflected and well defined on the coyote's ribs and other parts ^^ But my goodness, those scales, and that lightning effect. Superb! I like the little plants in the areas, too. The changes in color are great, from the outline of the dragon to the pan in the picture, Purple blue and green to red and orange in the corner.

Woah, thank you so much, I'm really glad you like it that much!
I really tried to do an interesting lighting, without getting too bright or to dark- but I see what you mean with the reflecting scales... I'm not sure if I would have managed to draw this though
Thanks again

: ) Mhm! I only meant that the coyote looks not as well defined. But as the whole picture, well, you've spent so much time on this, it overshadows it. It's very good! You're getting better : )
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh. Ah well, that's true.. probably because I've drawn the coyote in the end- then I just wanted to finish the picture and rushed a little bit with it.. I hope it isn't too visible I did that
Yeah! I'm glad to hear that I get better
π: 0 β©: 1
It's alright, like I said, the rest of the picture makes up for it
^^
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, I hope so, but I always try to do a "perfect" picture, so it does bug me I rushed in the end
π: 0 β©: 1
Ahh it's alright ^^ I understsand

soft fleshy thing, I steal your soul! Mwahaha!
Nice work on the lighting effects, though something seems weird about the anatomy like one side seems lumpier than the other... Oh well, good work.
π: 0 β©: 1
Almost forgot, if you would like to you could also critique my work in progress. It would make me happy ^^

Thank you!
Hmm- which anatomy looks weird? The one of the lizard or the one of the coyote?
π: 0 β©: 1
Sorry about taking so long to respond 
π: 0 β©: 1
Aw, no problem
Hmm, what's weird with the anatomy of the lizard then? The legs? I spent quite a while to get the anatomy right on this one, but it was not that easy.. it should looks still a little bit like a raptor, but with humanoid characteristics

I guess what I mean is that the right arm seems wrong at about the shoulder area. There seem to be two bumps where there should be a single deltoid muscle.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, that's one of the raptor like thingies- Originally there wasn't such a bump where the shoulder is, but then I needed to make it more similar to a raptor... so that's an intended thing I drew
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah. I think that I'm beginning to care less and less about critiques. It seems the most improvement comes from simply drawing rather than trying to focus too much effort on a single drawing.
π: 0 β©: 1
I wouldn't do that- critques are something awesome- you don't need to change everything because of a critique (only if it bugs you too much to let it like that), but you can take the critique onto your new picture.. If you care enough about them, you will get much faster better in art than if you ignore them and just draw what comes to your mind.
π: 0 β©: 1
That is why there is a self-critique. I am beginning to try to look at my picture from as many views as I can. This helps me to notice problems faster then fix them. Besides I'm starting to notice that my biggest problem is that the poses I'm using are not dynamic enough. This why I figure working on many different poses, that are in motion, quickly will help me to become better and faster. Of course I also want to incorporate some element of speed painting into it all.
Anyways the idea is to see how accurately you can draw something in under fifteen minutes or paint in under 30. Afterwords you go back and look at the picture and it's problems then consider the best way to improve on the next one.
The focus could also be placed on an individual part such as a hand, foot, or head. In such a picture you would only be drawing what you are trying to improve, and doing so quickly and accurately in many different posses.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well- of course it's also good to listen to your own self-critique, but it would be wrong to ignore other opinions of your picture
If you want to get better with poses and human anatomy, I could recommend you this site here (if you don't know it already) : [link]
I'm not really a big fan of speedpaints to be honest- I keep rather training with bigger and more complex pictures, I think that will help me personally better (also to get better at drawing details)... but I agree doing some uncolored sketches over many pages is a good training and necessary. I do something like that for humans, although I had to stop with it for a while, since I'm too busy with commissions at the moment.

Wow! well done on the Lizard thing!
I especially like the feathery bits on it, they are all drawn very well, the differences in colors on the scales, highlights of blue etc are all very nice touches indeed, and nice ambient lighting too! ^^
The gore is not too vivid, if there was blood and guts everywhere, then maybe I would put a rating on it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Aww, thank you!
The feathers were a little bit tricky to draw, but I generally like the outcome of them
I'm glad it's not that violent- I'm not really a fan of these mature tags (that's why I deactivated it for my account)
π: 0 β©: 1
Your welcome!
I'm sure it was hard to draw, you did a good job. ^^
Yeah, I don't like them either, that's why I tend not to draw offensive material.
π: 0 β©: 1
It was a hard work to draw, but somehow I also was more motivated for it than usual- or I would never have drawn it that detailed..
Yep, but it was a commission.. well, I could have refuse to draw blood or something, but actually I don't mind drawing blood- as long as it's not just pure violence (which I probably couldn't draw anyway)

die federhaare sind des most awkward an dem bild
check nich wie die wo fest sind oder so
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmm, wirklich? Gut, bei den Federn vom Schwanz ist ein ziemliches Durcheinander, aber die vom Kopf und vom RΓΌcken sind besser, oder?
π: 0 β©: 1
naja am rΓΌcken is dohc verrΓΌckt.. des sieht aus wie wenn die aneinandergeklebt wΓ€ren und runterhΓ€ngen wΓΌrden
π: 0 β©: 1
Stimmt- jetzt wo du's sagst sieht es wirklich ein wenig zusammengeklebt aus..
π: 0 β©: 0
This is masterfully done. You did an excellent job on the lightning and lighting as well. In addition, the feathers and scales are some of the most detailed I have ever seen. As well, the raptor's eye just draws me in. Wonderful, unique colouration and as for the gore, it does not seem that bad to me.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you so much- I'm really glad you like the feathers.. they were really tricky to draw and I first wasn't sure if it will go well together with the rest of the picture
Well, I'm really glad you like it

I saw it, it's alive, it's huge!! haha
I'm glad to see you've finished it 
Congratulations once again!!

Hehe, thank you!
I'm really glad you like it
Thank you again!

Das ist ja schaurig, der ganze Brustkorp ist aufgerissen...
Ist aber Cool! Besonders wie du mit dem Licht und dem Hintergrund gespielt hast ist dir sehr gut gelungen.
Da kann man nicht meckern.
π: 0 β©: 1
Heh, ja
SchΓΆn das es dir gefΓ€llt, danke!

Hey, it's finished!
So, I guess now I know what the little ball of light in the lightning is. XD
I absolutely love how you handled the lighting in this drawing. The contrast was done beautifully. I don't know how you did it so well, and I was watching part of the time...
Also, wonderful job on the textures! The surrounding rocks and plants look very realistic. And you did amazing with the fur, feathers, and scales... Heh, I can barely handle one at a time, and here you go drawing all three. XD
There really are so many great things about this drawing. Your commissioner should be very pleased with the results.
Oh, and thank you for letting me watch a few times when you drew this.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yup!
Hehe, yeah- what did you thought it might be, if I may ask?
Aww, I'm really glad you like the lighting that much
Yep, glady my commissioner is happy with it- which makes me happy too
No problem
π: 0 β©: 1
I thought she was using some special finishing attack on him, and that glowing ball was about to kill him somehow. XD
Yeah, that makes sense. I think that's a really good way to begin, with a picture... Though it's still a little hard for me. I get weird lopsided rock piles and odd-looking clouds, as you've seen.
That's really good!
π: 0 β©: 1
Heh, yeah that would have been also possible- and also much more nice than steal his sould
Well.. I like your lopsided rock piles
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I think so too. O.O Dying is one thing, but having your soul stolen would not be much fun. It would make for an interesting RP though.
Aw, thanks. :3 But I do wish they were less lopsided though. XD
