Artist's Comments

It's finally done!!! At least mostly. I'll keep seeing little things to change for the next few weeks before I'll finally leave it alone....

This was a fight to get uploaded after all the scanning issues cause it's just so dang huge. Ended up hunting down the largest scanner in the school and, even then, ended up with four pieces resulting in some photoshop magic. Came out pretty nice and as seamless as possible.

The dragon's scales are done in a special metallic copper paint so that when you look at it at the right angle, they shine apart from the rest of the paint. The same goes for the ivory talons and horns.

Overall, pretty fun project and now I want to start another! :D

This one is cool! I love this style, it looks rough on first sigh but there are many details to discover. The scene is very dynamic, I can feel the movement in it. Fantastic work!

Absolutely amazing! I'm very particular about how I like dragons to look. They have to be believable and flow together correctly...this definately does and I love it!
Great Job :thumbsup:

sunshine wouldn't be pretty if it wasn't for rain, joy wouldn't feel so good if it wasn't for pain, deaths gotta be eazy, cuz life is hard, it will leave you physically, mentally, and emotionally scarred....

haha, I'm also super particular. The wings should be large enough to get them off the ground, etc. I'm really glad you like it! :D

I went detail crazy on this painting. The scales were fun to play with as well as each flame being so unique. I wish the digital version could show off the metallic paint. Its my favorite part :D
