Description I worked over the nice watercolour I did some weeks ago. That's why you should never leave art with an artist.

look at both versions and tell me which one you like better.

Ahaha, the cloud redesign reminds me of Falcor, the Luck Dragon from the Neverending Story.

Yea, here I take the interpretation into my hands instead of letting the viewer develop her/his own ideas. Maybe I'll do it more subtle another time in another pic.

I mean that in the best way possible, by the way.  you're style's really weird, but I freaking love it!

Thanks so much, weirdness is a huge compliment
Standardized standard art is kind of bland and has been there already as we all know.

yup.  i'm tired of looking at something and instantly knowing what's going on.  I like that I can look at something that you do, and say, "oh wow, that looks really nice.  the color and lines are all WHAT THE BALLS!!!"

Nordrhein [2014-10-15 17:04:07 +0000 UTC]

I like this one more! It adds contrast in the sky and the pic looks nicely balanced and also creatures in the sky gives a fairy-tale athmosphere and add something to think of like "oh, is that a kid's dream? and where is the kid? or maybe is it a mystical world where the kite has flown into?" This version looks more interesting though x3

Hard to tell, really - as the older one has a tad nicer appeal in thumbnail size.

The only possible 'minus' that the older one had was the uncanny ornate cloud with a sky hole punched right through it and shaded in a way that suggested a vertically looming shape right where the bottom was supposed to be. . . and even then it is something that I only noticed when clouds have been remade into uncanny animals.  

Personally, I like the remastered version more than the previous stage.

Yes, the cloud in the first one looks strange now that you said it
Sometimes I just don't see things like that

I see 'luckdragons'    (The never ending story. Falcor . But I guess clouds ARE a never ending story         )
I like today's version the best....   just for 'old-times-sake.   
Because you 'touched' a nostalgic heart

Christian Ende! You are right! Must have been some childhood memory that haunted me here fun fact: The German name of the dragon was Fuchur.

Mary-Jose In reply to rskrakau [2014-10-16 07:51:18 +0000 UTC]

Hihi who knows. With MY thoughts where there..... 
Fuchur??   hahaha , you Germans like to 'voice-over', and of course its sounds diffrent. 
I like Falcor more (but of course that'll be because that was the name I first heard   ).
But I DO like your work(s)      Fuchur or falcor !  But how nice of you to share this with me

rskrakau In reply to Mary-Jose [2014-10-16 16:37:48 +0000 UTC]

Well, Michael Ende was a German author and the movie was a collab between US, English and German film teams, so I think both names are right in their own way. The original Fuchur would have been too funny in English though  
Thank you so much for the nice comment discussions I love chatting about details like that.

Likewise my DA-friend ! I love to chat about these things too.  
Of course all names are right. IF you do a voice-over, you have to connect with your own language. That'll mean also names I guess 
That movie was a real familyfilm . Our daughter (also on DA..she dragged me into it) LOVED the movie (stil has one, and she's  at the end of her twenties hihi). 
Fuchur.. In the Netherlands we had a toddler-tvseries with a dog named 'foofer' .. (a blue dog) hihi.. 
Children...so nice so see them grow up, and enjoy them in your family.  We feel so privileged to be parents 
Thank you for these conversations !
