Description A random sketch that turned into a full-blown art project. Merih`Saan high over the clouds doing what she's best at, flying. White opalescence is a real bitch to do without going overboard. I want to thank everyone who watched me stream the inprogress of this on Livestream. The random insanity kept me sane while working on this.

Painter IX, Photoshop CS + Intuos 4
****

Here are the links to the Livestreams in which I was working on this piece. Please note, many of these are 2hr sessions or more.

Part 1: Sketch to base colors: [link]

Part 2: [link]

Part 3: [link]

Part 4: [link]

Part 5: [link]

Part 6: [link]

My hard drive was dying on this last one, so Painter was being really really slow to respond.

The rest was finished in about an additional 10 hrs of work over the weekend.

Awesome picture. Reminds me of how much I wish I could fly. But alas, that is not possible except on an airplane on this world. Excellent picture and details!

GORGEOUS. What more can be said about this?

If I had to try and name one thing I liked most about it, though, I would say it's the wings on that dragon. Fantastic.

The skies... fresh air and lovely sunsets. So romantic.
Dragons can feel freedom in skies... Skies can see the beautiful wings of dragons.
Proud liberty is the world of dragons.
Humans are unlucky... They can't fly. They are chained to earth and their problems and can't be free.


Beautiful picture.
