My latest attempt at digital painting. This was produced using an old commissioned pencil drawing as the starting point. I then studied a lot of my favourite artists to see if I could tap into their technique, and produced this! There are subtle texture overlays at play here as well (including photos of rust, lichen and minerals!) which I selectively erase/ enhance. That's it really, not perfect, but getting there. I'm happy with some of the detail and texture here and there, but I'm looking to improve with the next one...
(NB, this is a larger version than the one I listed first..)
Thanks for uploading this big-sized, it's not often that I can enjoy such details. A truly great piece, the composition gives a plus to the heroic overall impression, and the design is among the most originals I have ever seen. I am amazed that the very thin part of the neck doesn't diminuate the impression of dragon force, and it adds to the dynamism.
If I were to make a suggestion, it would be a less organized pattern for the bottom clouds/smoke.
Congratulations on a very well done fantasy image.

Oh man, this is just badass!...I really like how you left some of it just faded back, you really know when to push and pull those details. I only wish those clouds werent so airbrushy-lookin', ya know? Great piece though, I'm blown away.
We want to know what love means to you!
Get your creative juices flowing and design a movie poster for "Paper Heart" that focuses on the theme "What Does Love Mean to Me?".
The butter legion- a socialist movement/mass colab project I started, to trigger artistic change and evolution in Da artists (mainly my watchers), to make them more active and dedicated on DA. Now 170 people strong and growing... A "dangerous cult"? a "new religion"? "artistic version of fight club" or "communist movement"? You decide!
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
