And back into the world of warm colours! Don't worry, I do use blue occasionally. I'm just working this urge for warm palettes out of my system.
This was a commission for Rashan and his girlfriend, Nikita. I'm adoring white creatures lately. I'm still working on getting them to look white but I love attempting to paint them anyway. Oh I love latin. Time: 22 hours Tools: Photoshop, Wacom Intuos 3 Tablet Music: Sufjan Stevens - beautiful acoustic music. CommentsWow such glorious anatomy and coloring. I can see purple in the grass, and oh such realistic clouds. I just adore how much work you put into the dragons and the backgrounds, so many scales @_@
Once again, such glorious clouds. I really love your use of bluey-green for the sky and the purples in the white dragon. -- Oh blah blah blubbery blah *whimpers* I want to commission ;____; but I only have $120
this is lovely!! I have no words that can express such impact it has <3 +fav -- avatar by *Nakase your wings are so beautiful and I adore the warm colorful palette!
-- Do you have nothing better to do with your life? Go out and plant a fucking tree, you lazy bitch. Plant it most violently. Rip somebody's parking lot up to do it. Beat them violently to death with a shovel, if they try to object. ~ Alexiuss I must resist exploding all over the place when I see this. It's so sweet and the light is so soft and warm, especially the way it seems to fog out the field. The backlighting is done perfectly, with the shine around the green's head fins and everything. You can paint such surreal, soft scenes, and don't worry about warm colours since you never heard me complain about that.

The dragons are extremely well drawn, and so detailed: you can see individual scales if you look really closely, and the texture of the wings is perfect as well. The whole background is magnificent; I would love to visit there if it existed!
I must also applaud you for the expressions on the dragons' faces- both exude such happiness and love. The positioning really gives a feeling that they are comfortable together, and the intertwined tails is a nice touch.
There were only two things that I could see that maybe could be improved a bit (these are kind of nit picky things). One is the fact that the clouds look a bit sharp. If they were a little fluffier, it may have worked better with the softness of the emotion in the image. Secondly, I almost wish there was just a little more color. The green dragon really stands out, but the lighter colored one seems to fade a bit in the background. I'm not saying that it has to be extremely bright, but maybe a little of a different color mixed in with what it is currently (not too much, though, because that might overshadow the dragons). Hope that made a bit of sense...
All in all, wonderful! Keep up the great work!
