Description UPDATE: I added a better water splash and clouds there! looks way cooler now! C:

UPDATE 20th Nov: Shard has gone through a slight color edit and minor shading improvements. There will be more changes to come as I'm still tweakin it a bit here and there.

ASK ME FIRST IF YOU WANT TO USE. YOU CAN USE IT AS DESKTOP WALLPAPER, BUT DONT CLAIM IT AS YOUR OWN. I ALSO WANT TO BE CREDITED AND NOTIFIED WHERE AND HOW YOU ARE USING THIS. Thank you!

Blue skies, rivers of gold
Bring to my heart
The stories of old
I remember the way to begin

Lead by all my grace
And a brave hand of peace
The air will lift us, our hearts a gift as
We feel the release

The breaking of dawn
I see the wind and the breeze
Will carry us home,
Joining us all in unified love

The sweetness of peace
More precious than gold,
The tender compassion
That gives elation as we behold

Break of dawn is coming,
With wisdom, wind and breeze,
Touching on the seas.

So here in our hearts
lay way to our home
Where all find comfort,
Blue skies, rivers of gold

OMGWTFBBQ. THIS ONE TOOK ME FOREVER (>30h? ). But I'm so proud of it. Look at all the details

This is 's character Shard, made it for him because he caught my 5,000th kiribian. I tweaked his design a bit, so it's a bit different than the original version
Initially, I *just* wanted to try out photoshop and never would have expected it to come out THIS detailed. but I guess I couldn't help myself.

Oh and btw, I think the song I posted here pretty much suits the mood in this picture too. I was listening to it (almost) the entire time. :3
I'm aware that there are a few mistakes still, for instance I don't really like how the legs came out, or the water splash. And I've never drawn a starfish before I made this without reference as usual... and there are a few areas that need more rendering. But I'm still very very proud of it. C:

THIS NEEDS TO BE CELEBRATED


Note: added a watermark to it to prevent art theft.

Amazing job, man! I really love the way you drew and colored his scales

The background looks great and his fur design as well.

Superb, as always.
It must have taken forever to get the reflection on each individual scale perfect like that.

hail-the-oblivious In reply to Solarpoweredspaz [2010-07-07 10:21:47 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, the scales took a while. It's not that hard hard to imply them, but it's hard to make them look real and sharp by lightning. Actually I forgot to add some blueish lightning reflection on them. The head scales have those blue shades, and that is the reason why the rest of the body doesn't look as detailed :/ thank you! lol
