Awesome dragon, it looks very defensive like it's cornered maybe? Looks cool either way.

Whoops, made a pun.

This is a great dragon! May I use it (with credit to you - just tell me how you'd like it to appear) to illustrate a write-along story we're developing on Facebook? You can find the story at this link: [link]

Man, you got me staring for a long time. I like how the dragon actually looks like some kind of evil demon, like its evil. And it's the entire dragon, not just the head.

From what I can see, I only think the woods behind the dragon could've been done a little better, but overall...

Awesomesamus!

Thought I'd let you know, someone is using your image. They are saying it was a gift to them, but not giving credit as to who created it.

I have alerted the admins of FurAffinity, but I thought you would like to know.

Thanks! Yeah, it definitely was neither made for them nor a gift to them... I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that some person in their forum might've lied, but ugh. Let me know if they need a direct complaint from the artist to take it down or anything, and thank you for your eagle eyes!

Of course! A few of us dug to find this. I'm just glad that we can take action. I'll link to this comment if needed, or drop you a note if the admins require you to tell them anything. I just want credit where credit is due.

I agree with Indigo-Ocean, but I just want to say that it's a beautiful and powerful picture, all critique aside. In all, it's very atmospheric.

SovaeArt [2008-08-28 20:20:16 +0000 UTC]

Very nice. The only thing that seems off (to me) is the back. It seems like it is implied that it arches slightly, but the shoulders make it look like it slumps downward. Also, the way the wing segment closest the sky is shaded (brighter) it gives the appearance that the wings are bending backwards. Just those sort of optical effects throw me off.
The painting and colouring and technique in general are splendid though. Good work

That's some very nice critique, I just had to say. Helpful and concise, and you still managed to add in some compliments. I wish more artists were as considerate and honest as you are.

thegryph In reply to SovaeArt [2008-08-29 18:59:05 +0000 UTC]

You're totally right about the wings - while I had intended for them to fold backwards, I just realized it doesn't really anatomically make sense with the way wings function.

Oi. Maybe one day I'll get creature anatomy right...

SovaeArt In reply to thegryph [2008-08-29 20:57:35 +0000 UTC]

It's certainly difficult! Especially for completely fantastical creatures like dragons. At least for unicorns and mermaids we have some sort of anatomical thing to base them off of! You do a fantastic job though
