Description Art complete!
This piece was quite a bit simpler than my last one, but I think the perspective and composition are a bit more elegant. That sky sure was fun to draw.

I'm trying to work on my painting technique, so this one is much less reliant on lines than my last piece. Also, I got tired of using a pre-made tree brush, so I made a new brush of my own again.

I hope you all enjoy it. Comments and criticism are always welcome, and I'll do my best to reply to every one.

Thank you.
It was a fun perspective to work with. This is definitely one of the largest dragons I've drawn, too.

This is astounding! this is first time I saw you applying transparency on dragon, but it is beautiful!

It feels large and grand just like old 'Panorama'. and it is clear and sharp. with lots of detail!

'Panorama' was actually the piece I was thinking of when I made this huge dragon.
I had fun with the lighting and those effects, too.

Ah.
Well, I named it after the west wind, from Greek mythology.
That is a rather common place to find names.

If they were still running, you could use this as an avatar or banner.

I think a collab would probably be more interesting than a trade.
It's been a few years since I've done one of those.

Great atmosphere in this scene. I love how overall it has a nice smooth feel to it, yet there is a whole lot of detail subtly hidden in the image. The size also makes a great wallpaper on a 24" monitor.

Chromamancer In reply to Sevian [2011-06-16 16:56:48 +0000 UTC]

I tried to use a few subtle textures to prevent the picture from looking too flat.
I'm glad you enjoy this piece.
