Gorgeous, simply gorgeous. Your portrayal of depth in this is absolutely fantastic, and the detailing of the mountains is beautifully realistic - not to speak of the skillful, accurate use of lighting and colour. An inspiring piece

Can't even begin to say how awesome this is, from the beautiful landscape to the tiniest detail in the dragons. Really pretty c:

Breathtaking!
Might I ask how long time you spent at drawing that background? Oo

CaraidArt In reply to Inghelene [2011-12-19 17:21:55 +0000 UTC]

The whole image took me about 8 to 9 hours, of which 2 I think were spent on the dragons, so that's about 6 to 7 hours .

CharlottaBavholm [2011-12-19 11:31:00 +0000 UTC]

Love it! You've really got the hang of landscape painting now ^^ love the size and detail of it.
Something that would have lifted it even more is more colour variation on the firs. Right now their colour is roughly the same, no matter where in the picture they are.

CaraidArt In reply to CharlottaBavholm [2011-12-19 17:21:27 +0000 UTC]

You're right. I tried adding variation to them but could definitely have pushed it much further. Something to keep in mind! ^^ Thank you!

the smoothly painted dragons look a bit out of place on the loosely painted background.

CaraidArt In reply to WSLaFleur [2011-12-18 12:40:28 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I know, lol . It's because I fell back into my usual rendering habits with the dragons, while I tried hard to loosen up on the background. For the next full-color piece I'll be sure to try and keep the technique consistent throughout the entire piece .
