Description
unfortunate encounter with the divineRelated content
Comments: 25
Hello there, I‘m from
usually I comment on pictures that I like but that also show some flaws that could be improved. In this case, I simply want to comment on your picture, because I think it‘s really really good! Looking through your gallery, it is also my favorite piece amongst all of your artwork.
The image composition is superb. The dragon as the main subject divides the canvas into interesting areas of different content. The dragon itself is designed beautifully! Whilst the sky blue body tells us about divine magic and bright aetherial holyness, its bloody red head is utterly intimidating, threatening and so „raw“ that you instantly feel like this being is way beyond our control and boundaries.
What I love most about this picture, and what I think makes it so good, is your extensive play with contrasts: the tiny human against the enormous dragon and against the large Buddha statue, the fire and destruction against the area of green grass and mountain scenery, the blood against the blue sky within the dragon itself, the mystical being destroying a site specifically designed for worshipping mystical beings, the orange and red against the blue and green, the threatening hovering against the paralized submission, to name a few examples.
Your drawing has character and tells its story really well!
From a technical aspect, I love how you drew the clouds of fire and smoke, you stylized them really nicely! Your whole drawing looks like a wood print, a style that fits the subject of the image especially well. The linework is fine, it only looks a little rough and fuzzier on the back scales of the dragon. Only your little humanoid falls a tad short, since their body looks rather flat and their torso lacks a bit of definition and seems to be a rectangular box instead. But since they‘re so small, it doesn‘t disturb the overall look of your image.
I‘m sorry that I can‘t find more aspects to criticise on, but I really think your style justifies all those simplifications and stylizations - the whole picture looks harmonious and we can definitly see your distinctive ductus in it.
Great job!

Great piece!
The first thing that I notice here is the linework and the composition. The sinuous position that the dragon is placed in really makes the eye travel the enterity of the picture in a very natural way. If we start in the upper right corner of the piece and we follow the tail of the dragon all the way to its head, we’ll arrive in no time to the person standing in front of it and subsequently we’ll have looked at every corner of the work. I don’t know if it was intentional or not but it works really well!
On top of that the colors really pops and again, the dragon, with is bright blue and white hillights jumps to the eye right away and offer a pretty good contrast with the orange of the explosion and the red of the background.
There’s also a clear separation between the warm colors of the upper half of the piece and the colder ones in the lower half. Peace and chaos cohabiting next to each other.
Good work my dude!

awesome, thank you!
so--i LOVE the form, you have really solid drawing skills and a great sense of composition in your pieces. everything feels like they belong on the drawing and it all fits together so well. what kinda throws me off are the color choices, though--going through your gallery, you tend to put together oversaturated colors and muted colors on the same page, which is, if done right, cool to do, but i feel like this piece especially could really stand out if you kept everything saturated much more rather than have the muted colors on the tower, in the foreground hills and on the small character. there's also a wide range of colors being used as well, and i think it would look nicer if the yellow-greens in the piece were blue-greens instead (to compliment the blue in the dragon character).
i hope this helps!! if you ever need references for color theory and stuff, lemme know! i'm currently in a class that involves designing stuff for animation and we talk a lot about fittings colors and such :0
