Thanks Drake. I was really hoping I got the colors right And yeah....I couldn't think of anything special for the background so I left it simplistic.

Oh my gosh!
This is amazing Tsitra!

I think you definitely improved on the lighting!
This picture turned out very well! I love the shading on the dragon! It looks so realistic! The lighting on the trees is such a success for sure! I think you did that perfectly! And the water in the backround just looks amazing! So real! I can actually hear the waves! And the moon is an epic win. It looks so real, and i mean, the lighting that comes off of it looks great!

The dragons pose is such a success! I think you got that just right! And the way the neck turns as the head goes up is great! The membrane goes perfectly in sync with it!
Those wings are amazing! And the scales or... wow! The look so real! Must have killed your hand, but they go well with the shading as well!

e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="10" height="10" alt="" title="Bullet; Green"/> That fire

The fire is definitely a huge part of this picture! The fire practically makes the lighting in this picture, to make everything seem so real! It looks fantastic! The wood looks great, and i think i see brush strokes in the fire (good thing) That makes a huge perspective on this picture! Great use of lighting on this!

e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="23" height="15" alt="" title="Wow!"/> That backround is stunning!
I think its one of your best! I definitely see improvement there! Those leafy bushes look amazing... seriously! And the rocks beside the shore... and the hills! They all just look fantastic! I think i talked a lot about the backround in the first paragraph, so not much to say here but this is fantastic!

Well, overall i would give you 5/5 stars for sure e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>
Greta job on this Tsitra, and i hope soon to see more of this spectacular art!

sigma-the-dragon [2010-12-19 12:03:54 +0000 UTC]

Oh WOW! this is too amazing for words!! I will try to think of words to describe this!! 1.amazing 2.awesome. 3.pretty. 4.COOL lol you really did put a lot of effort into this ^^ obviously first, Sigma looks really sweet you did all his details really well, and his scales are excellent too! All his markings are correct and his colours are very good too, maybe his breast plates could have been a little bit darker, they look more like pink than dark purple, but its still very good ^^ You shaded him really well, I see no faults in the shading its very good ^^ The BG is also amazing!! I love yoyur choice of setting, its very beautiful indeed! You have the foreground very detailed and brightly coloured and the background very well shaded and coloured! The only thing I would say about the BG would be the moons not all round XD but its looks unique like that wooo for wobbly moons my favourate part of teh BG is the grass ^^ really well done there!! you have done really well on this picture! well done ^^

Tsitra360 In reply to sigma-the-dragon [2010-12-19 20:20:59 +0000 UTC]

This is practically a critique! Thanks

Hmm, the breast plates looks purple in my monitor, its probably an adjustment needed on the monitor. The wobbly moon was kinda on purpose since I was going for the natural painted look. Kinda hard to make a perfect circle with big bristle brushes in Photoshop CS5.

And thanks! I have no idea how I pulled off the shading....it just happened I guess.

Ohh...sorry, XD don't you like critiques? i wasn't meaning it to be... its just i noticed some lil mistakes that's all ohh I see ^^ ok, i have that with my laptop only it depends on the tilt of the screen to how dark an object is, so i cannot tell what everyone else is seeing compared to my screen And yesh ^^ i actually kina like the moon like that, it makes it look special

Tsitra360 In reply to sigma-the-dragon [2010-12-20 21:17:24 +0000 UTC]

I love critiques, makes me look at my art in a new perspective

And yeah, the tilt of a screen does make a huge difference.

Degari [2010-12-19 08:46:32 +0000 UTC]

I really like the lighting and colours here, a job very well done. And I like how you didn't try to stuff a whole lot of scale details onto Sigma, but instead added just enough detail so that it looks realistic, but not like one of those HD games where you can see every single thread in the guys clothes from 3 metres away. Well, I hope you get the idea >_>
This painting looks like a painting, and it looks amazing.
I hope you do well in the contest

I hope I do well in the contest too. The usual style of overblown details wouldn't work for this painting. So I made up this minimalistic painting method on the spot. Thanks
