Very beautiful picture! I love the design and pose the dragon, it reminds me a bit of Spyro, but its cooler in many ways. The background is wonderful, i really love the trees and sky. I can definitely get lost in the scene, and that's one of the things that makes art great.

The textures are really nice, the way you did the leaves and flowers and blades of grass, to the fluffy clouds and marsh. The different texture in the dragon is also great, i love the way all the scales shine. The underbelly armor is one of those things i see a lot from you, and lots of your dragons seem to have it. It looks especially detailed here. I love the curly horns. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)" /> I just do. And the wings look very muscular. I'd think they have to be to carry a dragon.

So yeah. I looooove this peice. I think its one of your best.

If I hadn't read the first sentence of your critique I would have forever wondered why it was so familiar. xD
Spyro was such a cool game. ;__; *always wanted it but never had it*

The background is fantastically fantastic. It's very impressionistic! 8D

It is an epically awesome game. Just don't get any of the new ones, they suck. DX

And thank you, that's the effect I was trying to get. I think. XD

this is done well... good job.... but i think the contours of the dragon need to be darker and all the color needs to b more vibrant... it looks kinda dull

Snapdragoon In reply to Rellj [2009-08-01 12:43:39 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! ^_^ Hehe, it only looks dull because of my stupid scanner...It's definitely brighter in real life.

Now, this is the kind of stuff I watch you for.

You did a wonderful job on the sky. I love those clouds.

Excellent color choices in this painting! I really love that purple. Though you did use a lot of that gray-blue color in the sky, chest scales, and horns... The (dragon's) left horn even seems to disappear into the sky for a moment.

Well where is this dragon? Northern or southern hemishpere.

If yhou knew I would say a good name as 'beneath southern/northern skies' or something like that.

Quite a lovely painting.
Mind if I make it my wallpaper on my laptop?
