Yayyy! Glad that you like I tried not taking too much away from the original dragon, was very tough tho because I notice I tend to make alot of my pictures very dark. So really cant see the dragons colors. Was very fun to do tho...you are very welcome

JAMsEye In reply to ??? [2010-11-24 18:23:25 +0000 UTC]

I must admit the effect it had when I viewed full-size was quite impressing and interesting. I love how you combined strokes and smooth blending. It really looks like the dragon is chiselled on a piece of metal to me, thanks to the visible strokes. And the collar (right term?) blended harmoniously rather contrasts with the dragon. The glowing effects give it all the magic.

Hmmm... got to fave this one too .

Jared1481 In reply to JAMsEye [2010-11-26 05:26:16 +0000 UTC]

I seem to be doing that more and more..I really like the effect the strokes give. I tried to make the head pop out way more than the body, was very tough tho. JUst gave it a little more detail than the neck and collar. Of course there is alot id love to fix, and many probs that only I think I see haha, but so glad you like tho I need to get away from dragons a bit
Find the hog?

JAMsEye In reply to Jared1481 [2010-11-27 09:40:27 +0000 UTC]

Oh, as for making the head pop, you quite succeeded indeed. I just focused on the overall feeling that struck me most in fact. I'll add the glowing eyes give the picture the final touch.

Oh, yes, I found the hog. But I needed the fullview again . Very, very well hidden.

As for getting away from dragons, you might want to read *Sheridan-J 's interview at ARTENTION, especially at the end .

Thanks so much! Was definitely quite a challenge, but learned a few things in the process Glad you found the hog too! I also read that article and it was very inspiring. So Ima just keep on keepin' on and see where it takes me

OMG! I understand why, honest! They're awesome. I guess that's a huge source of inspiration for you. Note everyone's style is different and it does absolutely not hinder yours, which I like quite a bit.

Jared1481 In reply to JAMsEye [2010-12-28 13:59:53 +0000 UTC]

Yeah he is. One day I am hoping I can be as good and keep my own style too of course style is something you cant change I don't think. I have been trying new things with my work but in the end they all look similar in a way. Hope it doesn't end up being a bad thing tho.

JAMsEye In reply to Jared1481 [2010-12-28 14:30:15 +0000 UTC]

A bad thing? Naaah, don't think so. You can't improve as much all β€œdirectionsβ€œ in the same time so if you have your own, favourite style, that's how you've got the best chances to improve and master it. IMHO.

That is very true! I think alot of times I try to do too much because I believe I can. But then when its on paper it doesnt turn out like that :/

I really appreciate that! Thank you I guess I just think its too rough around the edges but just got to the point needed to move on you know? Nevertheless, the eye is my favorite part of the picture too
