Description
This didn't take forever or anythingWow so this started off as one thing and turned into another. I went through about three different versions before I settled on this one, and I'm glad I did. This is supposed to be the bridge between the physical and spiritual world and it's what I imagine when Ryuu is harnessing the power from Kiyo and stuff. I don't really know how to explain it but it was a good way to practice a different style, and I'm quite happy with it apart from the fact that her outfit is folded over the wrong way
Please give me feedback and any tips or suggestions on how I could improve!

Yeah, I do. I'm not going to change my style just to make one person happy, especially since you're that person. Some of your points are valid, and I did ask for feedback, but there's a point when that turns into annoying and unnecessary nitpicking.
Anyway, critics are supposed to evaluate the pros and cons of an artwork instead of pointing out everything wrong with it, so I'd suggest changing your name.

its not changing your style, more like a suggestion. if you feel that i nitpick well that how it is. Though every style is different, im not expecting you to draw exactly like another person, and certainty not expecting you to draw like me. Tho what i say does have fact behind it, like the way you can filter it to the point of lines showing dimension.
yes my name is critic, but what i have said was a critique. which technically is supposed to point out all the bad points, sooo. I dun rlly see what i did is not it?
btw, lets not take our names too literal <3

Well you did tell me to use thinner lines, and line thickness is a part of my style. I like it because it creates a stronger outline. Besides, I have used thinner lines e.g. mouth, eyes, nose.
Critique is just a synonym for evaluate.
I didn't necessarily mean your dA name; you call yourself a critic to others, but that's really not what you are.
Look, I don't want everything to end as an argument. Again. So do yourself a favour and leave this as it is. You gave me feedback. I took that feedback. Now you're just pushing it.

I like replying to responses so don't worry bout me. Plus wouldn't that do you a favor and not me. Get your facts straight. I was giving a suggestion not telling you how to live your life. And other things you can work on is face shape. :"D

I really like how this is drawn, its looks almost painted! It gives off somewhat of a old feel to it like it's a page from a prophecy book that tells of the dragon spirit. Great job!

try using a different mode for the scale overlay. It seems way too light. maybe multiply, since it looks like fabric instead of a creature.
and darken your shading to make more definition will be a good start.

Yeah the scales were easier to see before I blurred the dragon, but I see what you mean.
And I realised after that the shading was too light, I might darken and update it later. Thanks for the feedback~

your lines in my opinion is way to thick, do you use pressure?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I do use pressure, but 1) I like thicker lines and 2) photoshop brushes are weird

try out paint tool sai (if you can find a cracked ver), its has less filters but its more simple and great for linearting.
I wouldn't know, I only use photoshop for filters.

I'm fine with using photoshop for now, but thanks for the suggestion.

Hm welcome, well try to practice using thinner lines, It'll help u be able to add smaller details later on.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Psssst. She LIKES thicker lines. Can you not? You're actually being very rude. She wants to use the thicker lines and besides that, the drawing is amazing. Some of us prefer SAI, some of us prefer photoshop. Don't ignore someone who has already said "actually I prefer to do things this way" because you don't agree with it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Who are you and I only said the person should try sai? Are u alright?
Not everyone can agree with you either. Thicker lines may be good but making to too think can draw the eyes elsewhere. For example when the head has the hair separation the thicker lines make it seem like it has its own shape. That her hair is its own thing. And using thinner lines can help with details such as clothes creases, laces, show perception and distance. That is why practicing it is important to find ways to match your preferred style.

You once spoke to me when I was OnlyReachYou and I'm not talking about SAI specifically.
But she already damn told you what she preferred and you still insisted on her using thinner lines. That's rude of you. You ignored what she stated was her preference for HER art. Did you just pick and choose what to reply to from her? Clearly, she knows what she's doing and she'll do as she damn pleases.
Seriously, I knew you were up your own arse but I wasn't certain of the distance you had managed.

It was a suggestion that she should practice it? I also gave a reason that then they will be able to work with smaller details?
What are you even doing, being a knight in her shining armor? Saving a character that can handle her own? I was giving opinions and suggestions so she/he can do better or gain new experiences and grow as as artist. I'm pretty sure this person has a voice and they can do it with out you jumping in, though this is all my opinion.
People's preference differ from one another. And that's why they can share experience, tips or ideas. Really I think you are overreacting. But if your not then keep thinking I'm a jerk. Because that who the critic is.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, for a start, if I were a knight, I'd have the shiniest armour. Not to mention the prettiest hair and bloodiest sword.
She's not exactly a newbie at art. She prefers the lines the way she does them and she already told you. When she says she prefers something, that's the end of that subject. Geez, no wonder everyone thinks you're an asshole. There's a difference between a critic and a jerk. She's not new to art. She knows what her art looks like with different line styles. Believe me, I know. I talk to Ghost daily. She does as she does because she likes the way it looks. She clearly knows what it looks with her art because she said she likes the thick lines.
You were rude and ignored what she said. That's really all there is.
Oh, and I'm also enjoying your irked response. Diddums.
