Description
An other study, based on a still from How to train your dragon 2 (it's in the trailer, so it's not a spoiler right XD). I kinda underestimated how long it would take (that, or I underestimated my desire to paint details <_<).Either way, I made some mistakes in the shapes/proportions, but the colors where surprisingly close to the real thing. I used a few texture brushes in this one (speckles!), other than that; same rules as for the other studies: No color picking, a few layers (I tried to stick to 3), just eyeballing stuff and no 'magic tricks' . Just good practice.
By the way, I picked this image because it was one of my favorite moments in the movie. Just seeing this guy in the theater was super awesome. Majestic is perhaps a better word. You can probably guess that I absolutely adored the movie
. I had a few minor nitpicks with the story, but there was to much awesome going on to complain about any of that.Also... can I have a dragon plz?

Excellent work! One thing of critique. It might be because of me seeing it in 3d, but I think there was more depth in there in terms of atmospheric effects. (could be me)

Thanks! It took a few hours to paint. I had planned to do it in one, but I got carried away as usual and took a bit longer. I don't know how long it took exactly, but I painted it within an evening.
