Description Aannndd here's my final portfolio piece!

Yep. I completed this about a month and a half ago, but haven't gotten around to posting it like I have with the other two in this series, 'abhorrent flight', , and 'free spirits', .

Anywaayyy, you guys seriously have no idea how much I rushed this work. I did this in two days right before the deadline at a million miles an hour. Feel free to ignore the sadly painted rock ledge my litte guy is perched on...

The overall, the background was pretty much speed-painted, and I spent most of my energy making sure the dragon looked decent. My favourite part would have to be the muscles. But the anatomy isn't perfect [and the foreshortening probably doesn't quite fit the background, either], but under the extreme pressure, I'm really happy with how this came out!

As for conceptual stuff...well, basically testing his wings and is about to take his first flight off the ledge he's on. It's all about the anticipation and excitement before flight. :'D

Anyway, I really hope to keep pushing myself with lineless painting as the months go by, but we'll just have to see, especially since I go back to college in a week...


Of course, I'm sure I can squish in painting somewhere as assessment work. Maybe.

Hope you guys enjoy~! I'll be posting the rest of my chibi bookmarks very soon too!

I really can't tell this was rushed, it looks so nice! ^-^ I really like the colors and markings on the dragon, and how its wings are colored. And that background is so cool, what with the floating islands and the trees. It's neat how each tree is a different shade of red or orange.

AutumnalBlep In reply to TrelliaMo [2012-07-16 03:01:27 +0000 UTC]

Aww, you think? You're too sweet on me Trellz...
I have this thing with the floating islands. It seems kind of unoriginal...but...I just like them!
And I kind of went bonkers with the trees. Some of the leaves are even kind of pink.
Thankkuuu, my muffin!

TrelliaMo In reply to AutumnalBlep [2012-07-18 01:33:09 +0000 UTC]

Yes, yes I do. ^^
And I like floating islands too. They're just so pretty/fascinating, even if they are slightly cliche'.
Oh hey, I didn't notice the pink at first. It looks neat!
Yay I'm a muffin! You're welcome, Lioneh~

I thought he was drinking water, n-- *is distracted by Genesis drawing on the side* Ooh, Genesiiiis!! Hmm? Right. Comment. Sorry. Anyways, I thought he was drinking water from like a pond or something and had his wings out for balance. Oops.

Oh, well, that's kinda valid too...but I would've at least tried to make it more watery with reflections...

But that's what you get for a last minute work, I suppose
