Description A quick speedpainting I did while my internet was down today (although I'm sure it'll cut out again just after I submit this...hopefully not before). This took maybe an hour and a half.

I don't like speedpainting because I'm big on definite lines and perfectly planned layouts, but I also didn't feel like pulling out the sketchbook and tablet today, so I just did it straight in Photoshop with my mouse. Not a very big canvas to work with so I didn't need much detail.

Although I really like the landscape, I don't think the dragon...thing...really fits. Oh well.

Very nice, Have you ever played a Video Game called Drakengard?

If not I would highly recommend both 1 and 2, their rated M for some rather insane themes, but this reminds me of the Twilight hills mission when you're riding your Dragon.

I love the elder scrolls and haven't yet played WoW much but plan to soon enough.

Not played them, no, as I don't have a PS2, but I've read a Let's Play of Drakengard ([link] ) so I know what you're talking about.

Lovely colors and composition. ^_^ I really love the balance of the background with the dragon off the to side. <3

I like it, like I usually like abstract-kinds of simple pictures. I think the dragon makes it better!

Good job. =o

I love the color pallet you used! Beautiful. And I don't think the dragon doesn't "fit" so much as the angle that it's at makes it a little visually jarring.

But overall, I think this is a gorgeous piece! it's good to sometimes do something outside your artistic comfort level. Nice job!

I thought it might be because the dragon is so sharp while the rest is rather hazy, but I didn't like the effect when I blurred the dragon.

I did intend for it to be more red and yellow, but I kept using purples and eventually it worked really well so I didn't try adding more colors.
