Speedpaint 5/7/13Time: 4:16
For this speedpaint, I decided to revisit an older piece of mine. I really like the idea, but I thought I could do much better with it now, compared to a few years ago.
I think it turned out much better. The process behind this piece has been saved, on Livestream. [link]
The awesomely punny title was suggested in the livestream by Tempo. [link]
I'm rather pleased with the result. It hardly seems like a speedpaint, in a way.

This is an awesome drawing. In fact, it is so awesome a merging of my 2 favorite things, I want to use it as a custom Wells Fagro Card. Can I have your permission for that?

We need a comic, or at least shortstory, so inspiring.

Poor thing needs a projector, or at least a proper stand and a magnifying lens.

Strangely adorable, even though he's probably, like, hundreds or thousands of years old.

Love your bookwyrm!Β I write a book review blog called The Bookwyrm's Hoard, so I've started to "collect" (i.e., favorite on DeviantArt) good pictures of bookwyrms in particular and dragons in general. Submit CommentΒ

*low whistle* this is quite impressive. And the more I look at it the more it seems like a stained glass window... in a library for the most punny effect.

Ha! I get it! The title! It's hilarious. And punny. Very very punny.

They way you have dragons doing common everyday things is just awesome! And you always pull it out off so well too.

Thank you very much!
It's hard to think of everyday things that are as interesting or fun as this, though.
I mean, a morning cup of coffee might be neat, but it doesn't have that special fantasy quality.

It does if the dragon is using their fire breath to warm up the cup.

What program do you use for painting? The style looks very unusual.

It is a Facebook link, I don't know how to make it show the page, (not very tech savvy).

Awesome! Thanks for the feature!
I'm glad you like this piece.
I can't see the journal, there, though... that's just a link to the picture.
Can I have a link to the journal, too?

This won a giggle form me!
Well done!
I love his intent expression!

Haha I love the dragon's utterly preoccupied expression 
I really like seeing the differences in how your pieces turn out when you're speed-painting compared to your other pieces. There's definitely a different feel to your work. I think the only thing I'd point out is that the candle holder isn't really in perspective. Other than that I really like the portrayal of depth in the piece

dragons wearing spectacles look so cute especially like this

This has everything I've ever wanted, and just viewing it like this has brought me one step closer to spiritual enlightenment.
