Artist's Comments

A gift for a good friend of mine. :)
This has its problems as all art does, but I like it all the same. One day I'm sure I will discover the trick to painting metal and having it look like metal, but for I can amuse myself floundering around with colour and reflections. I still have an awesome time painting though, so it doesn't bother me too much.
Google is great for finding inspiring photos. This background was inspired by a couple of beautiful photos I found through the wonderful world of Google image search. It always works as a good last resort.

The darker dragon may be a little too dark, but hey, it makes you look closer. ;)

:heart:

Edit:This is my 101st devitation. :boogie:

It's lovely, first off. Absolutely lovely. My only real comment is that the forelegs on the dragon 'closest,' especially the near one, look a bit strange. Maybe it should be a little longer?? But I like it, especially the background.

I use Google image search as a first resort!

The dragon looks rather ghostly, like an outline. Perhaps not what you intended, but lovely nonetheless. :)

I think the darker dragon is dark enough - if it were any lighter, the whole atmosphere might have been ruined. *sags in the sight of this stunning piece, jaw slacking as she stares* o_o....

... So beautiful. So freaking beautiful.

The metallic dragon has an extra set of forelimbs???!?!? oO Woah.... neat!!! :D :D :D :D ^^

Do you know what place or country your pictures came from on Google? :D *curious* ^^

I can't stare at this drawing enough!!! The lighting on the metallic dragon, the blue dragon (which looks like if, if it isn't supposed to be ^^ :D *chuckles and smiles* :) ), the trees.......everything.... is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! I am in indefinite envy and awe at your atmospheric prowess. *sighs somewhat audibly as she continues to look at it* ^W^ :glomp:

Beautiful, I love the expression on the lighter dragon, very nice style you have :)
:iconkamilya:
It's really amazing! but if that second leg is not an extra front leg and is a back leg it seems too far up, even if it's long, hmm. I think it does look slighlt ymetalic, or atleast shiney, I like how the light reflects and I can't believe this is a painting, you've got some crazy talent, holy shit.. o.o

Art is to the world what a mask is to the face.

I love this. You do such great work :D.
I like the dragon un the foreground. He almost looks transpartent. I like the color scheme too. It adds a somber effect to the piece. Which fits well with the dragons looking like they're ready to go to sleep. Very cool, as usual :D

If you think you're too small to be effective, you've clearly never been in the dark with a misquito
