Artist's Comments

Something about the title of this tells me I've been watching too much Stargate Atlantis lately. I stopped myself at calling it 'Ascension' though. ;)

There isn't much of a story behind this aside from it being another product of my continuing love for clouds and flying things.

Painting is slow as I'm back on my own computer which adores frustrating lowly humans with agonisingly long loading times. However, I am now working with my beautiful new monitor which gives me an incredible amount of space on screen and makes me ever so happy. It's a joy to do art on.

Merry Christmas to you all, I hope it was a good one!

Wow, that's really gorgeous. The transition between the colors of the dragon work well into the environment.

Very beautiful work. I like how the colours of the dragon match that of the surrounding environment.

The surfaces, lights, and color subtleties you use are as stunning as ever.. and your anatomy is looking wonderful too! This dragon has very strong lines and angles, emotional and realistic at the same time. It's wonderful to see you posting again!

Beutiful, supple Dragon, and the harmony of colors and light is beautiful.
If you want an advanced critique, I'd say the tail is a bit rushed: it'd need a bit more structure near its base, and its shape doesn't look very regular to me, mostly near its base.
Anyway, +fav.

So..... beautiful..
I just can't find anything to criticize in it... It's incredibly beautyful...the colors... composition, dynamism in it.. The pose of the dragon especially the position of it's hands... wow..

DAMMM I love your paintings! The colours you choose are always so wonderful. You are so good with light, all the areas of back-lighting and the glow thru the wings. HOW DO YOU DO THIS? Do you ever go to cons and set up booths with giant prints of your stuff? You'd win at cash.
