Description I felt like doing a seadragon. I haven't done one in a very long time. I really like his design.

This seadragon is a Yerati It's a small seadragon species. It's about 20 meters long. It mainly lives on fish and seaweed. But he eats any living being if he really needs to.

Background is a photo manipulation and brushes. The dragon is digitally painted. And I also used special brush. This took me 6 hours.

Wow, nice colors and amazing pose..
But,maybe the upper arm muscle has to be a bit thicker? I am not sure, but since it's breast is so massive and the dragon has to swim somehow I think that would be somewhat right.

A big dragon with an almost Vegetarian appetite pretty original idea, most would say his diet consists on the biggest, nastiest sea creatures he can find (as well as any unfortunate bystanders on the shore in bad weather lol) The light showing through the thin parts of the wings really makes it! and I like how you do foamy splashes of water...are those parts photomanipped?

He looks gorgeous, but his wings/fins feel a bit to short.

Very nice work, especially on the water! It doesn't matter that it's a photomanipulation and brushes because the figure matches the whole scenery. It is rather realistic. Good job

Ruth-Tay In reply to TheDragonofDoom [2008-10-04 12:21:31 +0000 UTC]

Photomanipulation! I using alot these days It really improves my work. And alot easier than paiting it. Alot of artists use photomanips.

Ah, now I see! At first I was like "How on Earth did you paint it looking so realistic!?!?" O_O . Maybe I should give that a try with my drawings, especially since my next drawing is a concept of a sea monster taking down a ship. ^^
