Description A blue Dimar,doesnt' have a name yet, and i do not care right now...it's 1 am..
This one nearly killed me,been workin' on it the whole day,which is unusually long for my concentration to hold.The truth is i found those wonderful brushes by Annika von Holdt,and they've been messin with my mind ever since,had to try them on something... combine all that with an unhealthy obsession with Dimar's and there ya go... I think this one will be dedicated to Dee Dreslough,cause this little i know about art, all i learned from her. god,my hand looks like it was ran over by a truck,i hate drawing with a mouse
-photoshop 7.0 and a mouse,completely in ps
go see annika's awesome site and those cool brushes here: [link]
Oh,and just one thing worries me,Annika wrote once that she very rarely likes what people do with her brushes...kinda makes me very uneasy...

Very cool. I love the color; combining different shades of the blue and purple is great. Plus I love Dimar too, so maybe I'm biased? LOL

The colours are so wonderful, the icy blue mixing towards a darker midnight colour.

Geeze let me just add to the masses here ^^. I think it's cute... and since I'm obsessed with Poke'mon this is a complement: I wanna catch it in a poke' ball and use the little thing in a match! ^^ nice colors too and again: CUTE!

chocobooster [2003-07-06 15:22:41 +0000 UTC]

that is amazing. the lines, the texture, the movement of the subject - everything is just well-done. considering that you did this using a mouse. not a lot of digital painters can handle that. you should think about getting a WACOM. i am certain you can do wonders with it.



more power,

What could be better?

Nada:
I can't find anything that I think it should be better. Sorry for that

What do I like?

- object
- background

Object:
I love the adorable creature! She ( i think it's a she ) is very cute. The little path of hair on her back and neck are very nice too. The way she smiles makes her cute btw. Colors and shapes are great.

Background:
I see a background! Wonderfull I'm sure that anika would like the use of her brushes this time. The blue is great and the small details in the background are fun to watch for a few minutes

Conclusion:
I have to say that i'm sorry for being selfish, but i'm keeping this one

shirosynth [2003-06-15 20:37:17 +0000 UTC]

The brushes are great in the background, but I think you should have textured the draggon with a brush overlay on top of it. Other than that I think the painting is well done, although you shouldnt strain your hands when you can just draw on pencil first.

You might want to also get a tablet to easy your painting strains. Theyre a great investment if this is what you mostly do in your art.

Only suggestions on improvements to what you have is to add even more painting detail. Addint intricate skin detail and hair detail. Just add more than you have before. Detail pays off in the end.

Hi!

Nice job on the coloring of this little beastie, really nice.

Dragons/Dimar anatomy isn't something I've dabbled in for a really, really long time, so I'm rusty. The image looks good, the horns are very well colored, and the furry ridge is a neat touch.

What I don't like is the structure on the wings.. I don't know why exactly I don't like what I see, tho.. perhaps it looks too much like a human art, which I don't think would be really capable of supporting flight, but not that that really *matters* as this is a fantasy piece, and fantasy tends to ignore physics.

Overall, nice work!

for mousework this is very good actually. i like your choice of colors, and how you made the eye jump out by making it orange. i think i like the eye best of the entire image actually. very clear and sharp. the rest of the animal is maybe a bit too fuzzy for me. i think all in all the image is good, the background works well, i just don't like the outter border, too obvious colordodge blending.

I too am a mouser (mouse user?), when it comes to my digital paintings. It's nice to see such beautiful work coming from a mouse. I have to reiterate what others said about the color scheme, which is fantastic! I also love the way you softened and smudged it but managed to keep it sharp and distinct, not too blurry. Nice!

balinlesavage [2003-04-14 09:18:42 +0000 UTC]

You did that with a mouse? It looks awesome. It's really soft, and the colors go together very well. I also like your frame, with the shapes of flowers, and words. It looks like you put a lot of work into the details and background.
The neck and head look very mature and fully formed, whereas the body looks a little less finished - but you have to start somewhere, and the head is a great place.
I really like the nuances of the shading, it seems like fur would be really hard to do, but you've done it well.
Great job. Look forward to seeing more of these.

Oh, the words are fitting and nice too

eorhythm [2003-04-10 00:33:11 +0000 UTC]

The colors have such a cool, clean feel to them. This gives me the idea that I'm looking at something with a much bigger environment, even though it's rather limited in that respect (as pictures usually are). That's something that's hard to do... and I can't do.
The eye is very impressive. and the texture of the hair.
