Description A loose painting commission for a lovely couple, ~RiaX3X and Nemmy.

I enjoy painting red dragons almost as much as white ones.
I have a thing for red flowers as well it seems.

Time: 5 and a half hours
Tools: Photoshop CS4 and Wacom Intuos 4
Music:I don't remember now. Bullets by End of Fashion is a great song though.

These loose paintings aim more at capturing the feel of a scene primarily and lack the refinement of anatomy I'd usually do, so you have a very valid point.
I am working on being able to pinpoint anatomy more quickly so that there aren't as many errors in these but I've a long way to go until it comes naturally to me.

Thank you for taking the time to mention this though, it's given me plenty of food for thought.

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning!
Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental
hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the
staff in the hospital so the More-government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so
they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the
machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died.
Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on
a Monday night at 12:00 a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you
and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other pictures on this one site, and
she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if you copy and paste
this to ten comments in the next ten minutes you will have the best day of your life tomorrow.You
will either get kissed or asked out, if you break this chain u will see a little dead girl in you

sorry

I would be honored if you would allow me to use this video in a non-profit video for the under appreciated and hardly shown caring side of Dragons. If you have any ?'s before proceeding then please don't hesitate to ask.

Well, it's like the deep blues of the water and the mountains contrasted with the yellow light on the dragons and the flowers suggests that time of year/day when it's very cold but the sunshine is still a ray of warmth. ALL THIS, JUST WITH YOUR COLOURS.

Originally I didn't have the rocks or flowers at the bottom and it felt like it was missing something, they really helped though I think. Thank you.

The color red you used is a soft red, but it still stands out. It's all so beautiful.
I must add though, the red dragon with black horns, the head seems to be a touch off. Other than that, this is another gorgeous piece. :3

Chromamancer [2009-10-25 13:27:39 +0000 UTC]

These are getting better and better.
I like the bluish atmospheric tint o the distant mountains. It really gives some extra pop to the dragons in front.
The bits of transparency that the wings have is a nice touch, too. That reflection on the water looks great, too.

The angle of the head on that one with black horns seems a bit sharp, right at the base of the head, though. It does look a bit awkward to me.

It's quite excellent overall, though.

How many layers did you use on this?
Was it all done on one?
