Hi everyone.Generally the owners of works don't want to share his creativity secrets with others in my country. With this example I wanted to show you the workline and share my knowledge.
First I'm starting with my sketch. I decide the scene if it's calm or active. It depends on my mood. As you can see in this example, I'm going forward with my senses and try to complete my work with a good composition and with three basic tones.
And then Photoshop CS2 comes. In this work, I started to paint with dragons' head and continued with the neck, rider, spear, knight, castle, sky, wings and last gold looking saddle. When I decided it's finished, I continued with the next step: Adding an atmosphere.
For this I tried the use diffrent colors together(for exp. brown and yellow on blue dragon) and tried to save it's general appearence from looking raw.
As you can see in second frame it look lighter, cleaner but more unrealistic. And my imaginary scene was at a castle with light snow and a pure light (Or I'm remembering it that way)according the book ( Dragonlance Chronicles: Dragons of Winter Night). So I added some snow with clouds feature.
Next and longest step for me is lightning. When I finished making the atmosphere, I decided about detailed look. Which areas must be in light and in dark? My sketch was giving me lots of information about it but I have no opinion about the light. It must bu pure and soft like snow. So with a bit thinking of, I choose "early in the morning". Gave left wing some orange looking light and make it shine below the rider. It also helped me to show the rider more detailed and more dimensioned. At the same time I was giving the right wing which it deserve : A hard shadow. This shadow too, completed the composition, added more to my dimension and pointed the way which eye follows as we look at a picture.
And for last; I added some smaller and cleaner details to my work before I finish. Like shining of the golden plate, parts of the waving cape, and deeper details on knight's hairs.
Oh, I very nearly forgot! My dragon was on an attack and moving when she had a bad sword smash on her nose. And she must be very motion looking when this frame taken. So I added (especially to the left wing) her wings some blur effects and one very hard seen wing copies under her wings.
At last, it's finished after so many hours. I couldn't buy a tablet yet, so I'm going mad with the mouse. First thing to do is buying at least an Intuos. Must have precious
Hope I helped you with my gabby Thanks for your consideration. See ya.
