Description ... Too long, really.

But, uuuh.... yeah, I'm... alive! Uh... I don't know what to say, uh...
... It's good to be coming back~ Q Q 

It's been 2 whole years since I've uploaded any of my art online. Finally, today, December 9th, 2017... I'm sharing my art with the world again.
I'm sorry, everyone, that I haven't posted anything in so long. I've missed all of you a ton... ;  ;
.. But, hey, uh... at least you can all see how much I've improved over all this time, though! And yes, I've been able to do landscapes and backgrounds this entire time, but haven't really uploaded any works with them 'til now. More of my art will be coming from now and into the next year, and I will even be opening commissions for the first time ever around the start of 2018. <3
Man... I'm so eager to talk with all of you again, and to meet many more, and just... AAAGH, I've been away for far too long...

....It's good to be back. <3

Overall

Vision

Originality

Technique

Impact


I wish I could jot down "Awesome" 100+ times. But that would be too repetitious and overall boring I guess. But I absolutelylovr the details of the foreground and the subtle fading in the sky background! Even the coloration deviation within the tree's and leaves are hecking awesome, the shading is very well done in my opinion. I can't think of anything more other than that this is very well drawn, visually pleasing, and very, very cute! Seeing as I somewhat concluded my lil critique, how are you? Was there anything you feel worthy being fun over your long break?

Wow, that's a really awesome (great) artwork. I like the idea of the dragon sitting in the shadow of a tree reading a book like a normal human being. You manage to making your figure look so real.
The style of the artwork is amazing too. The grass, falling leaves, the sky... It's like you could even feel the wind blowing.
You can be very proud of this artwork as it's OUTSTANDING!!!

GriffinPhillis In reply to Tuftberg [2018-01-19 17:08:58 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much! I liked the idea a lot, too, it's why I decided to draw it out for my return-piece, here. c:
And actually, I'm not reading a book in the drawing, it's actually a sketchbook! I'm drawing out the landscape, there on the hill.
But yes, aaaall the details! So many details...
I'm certainly proud of this peice, indeed. Glad you like it so much!

PHILLIS YOU POSTED SOMETHING!
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!
I love how you've colored this so much ;A; I admit I've never colored anything seriously with traditional before, but I must imagine making colorblended gradients with pencils to be much harder than digital xD
Not to mention the textures in this. The way you drew the bark and the grass and leaves is beautiful! And last but not the least, I think the addition of the character's expression brings this to another level.
Now you just got to keep the momentum going! 8)

HECK YEAH I DID, TEISOL!
Thank youuu! Q///Q
And oh gosh, yes, this took... a lot of time commitment, haha. c':
I think coloring is a lot harder in traditional, too, yeah.
There's no undo button, either!

But yesss, haha. Thanks a ton, Tei. <3
I'll keep the momentum going, heck ye!~
