You've done an amazing job. Especially with the texture. I was looking at the complete piece the other night, but it's nice how this background puts more emphasis on the creature. Nice.

cooley In reply to DrPie [2007-05-01 02:39:06 +0000 UTC]

Yeah the complete piece is great but it depletes from the work I put into the dragon. I am glad you like the texture - making reflective metal is hard!

I can imagine! I really like the colors though, they work really well.

Thank you! The armor was very difficult - I drive myself crazy trying to recreate the image of metal, hehe.

Watashi-no-Yume In reply to cooley [2007-05-13 01:02:23 +0000 UTC]

Heh, I'd do that, too (if I ever drew metal, which I actually don't think I have...), but I think you did it very well (:

xSilverwingx [2007-04-30 22:45:15 +0000 UTC]

I really like how you made the armour reflective, and added the glowing symbols to it, and I just love how you drew the wings--they look really neat!

Thank you kindly! The metal was not easy but totally worth it. Thank you for the fav too!

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! I don't know how you do it. Does working with bigger-sized sketches help a lot? 'Cause I think that a lot of the time I have trouble working on the details of smaller stuff.

(I really wanna start being able to do stuff like yours! Hopefully, with time, effort, and patience, I will x3 Your work is amazing!)

The colors are wonderful, btw. Very pretty!

Heyo! How have you been? Did you try to call me last month? I lost the message that had your phone number on it if so...Or was that ~ShatteredSmile ?

Anyway, I'd be more than happy to help you work on your work and make it more detailed. Just send me a note any time.

I like working large b/c it helps me on the details. Sometimes I work small to force myself to concentrate on the overall picture instead of the details.

hourglass-sentinel In reply to cooley [2007-04-30 21:59:14 +0000 UTC]

Cool.

Yeah, that was me a while back! I called to leave you a message and see how you were doing. I tried to call at a good time for you so that it wouldn't be too late or too early, considering we're about 4 hours apart, I think, lol. It's 6 pm here now ^_^

cooley In reply to hourglass-sentinel [2007-05-01 02:53:27 +0000 UTC]

Ok it was you! Actually, you did call at a good time. It was in the middle of the day so I just happened to be in class. I'm glad you didn't call in the morning b/c I get lots of wrong numbers in the morn and am often grumpy b/c of it. (I have a Louisiana number so when people call at 8am their time, it's 5am my time and they wake me up.)

Anyway, we'll have to talk some time this summer. I get out of classes soon so I will be more available for phone time

hourglass-sentinel In reply to cooley [2007-05-01 10:21:51 +0000 UTC]

That'd be great! I too am a little bit less busy in the summertime, 'cause all I have to worry about is work. I'd love to chat with you

Lots of !

As much as I would love staring at a gigantic piece of your art, I really have to thank you for not uploading anything too big - my computer is pretty pathetic and cant handle anything too massive. It probably would have frozen! >.<

That is really amazing! ^^ I dont know where you get the patience for things like this!
*faints because of awesome detail*
