Hi...


Ok, so to start off I really like the colours you chose for them, especially the middle one, the colours of the dragons (all three side by side) don't even clash too much so it makes it easy to look at. You gave them all unique expressions and it kind of makes them feel more different since you have drawn them all at fairly similar angles (which is fine). Your colouring and shading technique is really nice, and the 'roughness' of it adds to the drawing. I've been looking through a lot of your art (digital and traditional, throughout many years) and other art similar to this but I haven't seen one quite as original as this, for some reason, I feel as though, despite all the white empty space, it almost feels completed. I also like your attention to detail on the armour.

If I had to pick one thing I didn't love, (but it is still good), it would be the jewel on the armour (and the tongue/teeth, so technically 2) the tongue/teeth seem almost out of place because they are solid colours. I also wouldn't recommend straight up white- maybe off white would be better. (It looks as if the background is off white but the teeth are still white). For the jewel, it seems as though its fake because, in contrast to the other colours, it is very bright and not saturated at all. However, since it is supposed to be a jewel, and is supposed to be bright it isn't bad at all, I would just prefer, the highlight especially, to be a bit more saturated.

This is just my opinion.

My rating: 8.5/10

Okay, first try at writing a critique, let's watch me fail and cry :')

To me this is absolutely beautiful. Your painting style keeps improving, it's evolved so much from when you tried it first fav.me/dau0945 e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title=" (Big Grin)"/>
And your artstyle is very unique while still staying true to the official WoF designs. I love how you interpreted the amour of the one in the middle, and how you add texture to the horns. I love how you can think in 3D, and the different head-shapes you give to dragons.
If I had to nitpick, and by that I mean if I absolutely had to, I would say that maybe you could've done some more dynamic perspectives or added some glowing effects to the more metallic parts. But seriously, this is already stunning.

I hope this helped omg

Thank you for taking the time to write a review!  It's really helpful to get feedback on my art.  I'll definitely try s'more exaggerated perspective in the future.  (I never thought of putting glow effects on metallic surfaces!  I'll definitely have to start using that!  Thank you!)
