Wow, the gentle colors and detailing of the scales are wonderful! I could go on with the typical commentary, but you already know it's a great piece.

Just out of curiosity, about how long does something with this much detail take to paint?

Fabulous work, as always.

Ricefish In reply to SophiaRenu [2008-08-12 05:34:18 +0000 UTC]

I'm not sure...I think maybe 8 hours?

Ricefish In reply to marshmu [2008-08-12 03:33:55 +0000 UTC]

Weeell, I sketch with HB pencil, then I paint the sketch with watercolours, use white pencil for white markings (like the fish faces and the horns) and white gel pen for highlights. Then I go back over the sketch again with the HB pencil 'cause the watercolour rubs the first one out a bit C:

marshmu In reply to Ricefish [2008-08-12 07:20:52 +0000 UTC]

oooh, at first I thought it was coloured pencil.... |D

and I'd certainly buy this if I had the money.

Wow! Such soft colours, and I love the fact that you can fit so much detail in such a small amount of space! o^o
Excellent work!

I was wondering if you'd allow me to use this picture for a website layout I'm making. I'll still give ya the credits though. n_n;

I find it impressive to say the least, how you manage to get so much detail in such a relatively small piece. You're awesome, and I'm not just saying that!

megcowley [2008-08-06 16:09:20 +0000 UTC]

Why are white tipped scales so hard to paint? Is it just the scale of the piece?

Speaking of moths, I had a really big one flap its way into the bathroom and frantically flit about trying to get out while I was in the bath. I nearly had a heart attack!

Anyway... Pictureteimz.. xD I really like this! You always use such amazing colours in your pieces, I love it! The shading is fabulous as ever - I really like the rainbowy background, all the colours are ace <3 I love that little bubble too, the big one that stands out to the bottom left of the picture.. you paint bubbles so well As for the subjects, I really like the pose of the dragon - the anatomy of the face is really well done too btw, I wish I could draw dragon heads that well! - and the fish have really interesting designs.

Overall, I really love this piece! x)

Ricefish In reply to megcowley [2008-08-07 20:51:06 +0000 UTC]

Because I build up colour layers without too much care, but for small white areas I have to be careful not to paint over them. They usually end up messy

I know the feelin'! xD

Thank you!

megcowley In reply to Ricefish [2008-08-08 12:37:42 +0000 UTC]

Fair enough xD I figured that would be why... For me that would be where white gelpens would come in handy!

Welcome ^^

Ricefish In reply to megcowley [2008-08-08 12:46:19 +0000 UTC]

Ah, but then they would all be too white, and the ones on the shadowed side would look ridiculous ;D

megcowley In reply to Ricefish [2008-08-08 12:53:03 +0000 UTC]

..... maybe they do lots and lots of different shades of gray gelpens! *koff*
