More awesome coloring. It's balanced very well.
The sharp edges look really great, too.

The lighting all looks consistent, and I don't see any areas with unusual contrast. I like how the necklace with the key looks, and the stars near the top of the picture are a nice touch, too. My favorite aspect of the picture, though is the sense of motion in the manes. That really adds a lot to the pose and picture overall.

I'm secretly trying to exhaust my commenters. It actually feels awesome to have a backlog of unposted art that I can spring on my watchers at whim, I feel productive!

Ruth-Tay [2009-10-18 13:58:01 +0000 UTC]

Great colors. and the poses are great too. Only the way the left wing is spread seems a bit odd.

I was wondering. Which kinds of brushes do you use? Is the pack downloadble?

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

cryslara In reply to Ruth-Tay [2009-10-20 12:01:22 +0000 UTC]

The four main brushes I use are actually Photoshop defaults, I just realised. I like to play around with different brushes but these are the ones I'm using at the moment - I tend to fiddle with the brush settings to get variation rather than changing the brush, for now anyway.

Here's a quick rundown I threw together of my brushes and what I use them for: [link]

AtelierKunz [2009-10-18 10:41:56 +0000 UTC]

How do you do those pics so very fast?! Don't you need time to think about pose, anatomy, colour.... It'd take me days to do the very same thing

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

cryslara In reply to AtelierKunz [2009-10-20 12:05:18 +0000 UTC]

I think I get too much practice of painting dragons floating around in the sky.
I actually work on multiple pieces simultaneously so while I'm thinking about one or need a break from it I can work on another. It's good because, while I love painting, I tend to have a short attention span sometimes so this lets me swap around without actually slacking.

What makes a couple drawing better? Having both of them fly.

I don't know that I have much to say for this one. It's obvious that this was a looser, quicker drawing, but it's still a very high-quality piece, of course! Lighting was done wonderfully, as always. And I love their expressions.

Just can't help myself when it comes to flying dragons. I go through phases of it.

In that case, go through a long phase of it, this time.
