Description I wanted to prove to myself that I could do something vaguely resembling cell-shading. The wolf-dragon hybrid I created for *Cideth was a good opportunity to try it. This took far longer than it felt like it should have... but I guess it wasn't bad.

Lineart in Adobe Illustrator (~2 hours). Colour in Adobe PhotoShop 7.0. (~4 hours). Background rendered using new brushes given to me by =Venator-Somniorum .

If you're interested in commissioning me, contact me via email or dA.

I love the shading/coloring, and the style. Something new, maybe. Those wings and the fire/energy ball are my favorite parts.

Wow, "I guess it wasn't bad?" *spanks you* You really need to take more pride in yourself girl, this is gorgeous O.O

Love the lighting/lightning/shading effects you use, the detail in the wings is just phenomenal according to me and my humble opinion.
Fireball is looking great xD And I think the clouds look realistic enough, you performed very well here! Nice style to *cough* "try out" ^^

jocarra In reply to SpottyWuff [2006-05-12 13:43:28 +0000 UTC]

*LOL* Hehehe... Okay, okay, fine. I quite like how it turned out Although I must insist the wings were half-assed and done completely anatomically incorrect (I was going for speed and style rather than anatomical accuracy, which worked out all right for this image, I guess). Thank you

SpottyWuff In reply to jocarra [2006-05-13 03:29:51 +0000 UTC]

Alright, I'll grant you the slight mishaps you *might* have made, (but my anatomy is _so not_ up to standards) even then, I find this great work. Nah *sticks out tongue*

You're mighty welcome!

you're welcome.
it made me think of a stormbird (it don't look like a bird but with the clouds, and the flashes well whe i imagined a stormbird it look this way).

jocarra In reply to kaenen [2006-05-07 18:10:47 +0000 UTC]

A stormbird, eh? Hmmm... Well, I guess you could call him a kind of storm-creature, but no, definitely not a bird X3

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

kaenen In reply to jocarra [2006-05-09 17:41:44 +0000 UTC]

not like a bird indeded, but the first time i read about a strombird, i imaginde him whithin a storm, with flashes coming from his wings, so that's why a through about a stormbird when i staw you pic.
But i prefer your storm-creature, cause i prefer wolves rather than birds ^^ and wings wolf are the best.

jocarra In reply to kaenen [2006-05-09 18:29:39 +0000 UTC]

Hehehe, ah yes, I can imagine that. And, I'm glad you like mine better X3 Although a stormbird would be cool, too.

kaenen In reply to jocarra [2006-05-09 19:34:32 +0000 UTC]

yes but a drawing of a stormbird may be inflence by pokemon ^^ so much people i've seen it.
Yours is different. Did you imagined it, or did it come from a story ?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

jocarra In reply to kaenen [2006-05-10 07:10:48 +0000 UTC]

I simply imagined it. It was based on a really old sketch of a gryphon I did.

kaenen In reply to jocarra [2006-05-10 17:31:57 +0000 UTC]

i've seen one of your gryphon (black angel), it's amazing, the way you've done the prospect in the space, he looks like he is going to fly over me !
I've tried to done something like that, but i fail, maybe i will try again using a pic of my cat so i can seen what i want to draw.
