Description

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. =D

Oh I love latin.

Time: 22 hours
Tools: Photoshop, Wacom Intuos 3 Tablet
Music: Sufjan Stevens - beautiful acoustic music.

:heart:

I have to say, this is an exceptional piece!

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!
