Jawdropping...You are so comfortable and confident with the value and colors. How long do you take for a piece like this? Like others, I am so speechless...

Thanks - this one took around 4 days if I remember correctly, which is a little quicker than some of my other pinups - they can take as little as 3 days (I have to learn how to work faster I think) and I once did one that took a month to finish.

Oh, 3 days is fast for such superb quality. Thanks for the info, your time line and quality will be a good gauge for me. Looking much forward to your next piece!

Fantastic! I love the way you approached her dragonesque bits. A nice take on what most artists usually convey in plate like scales.

Loopydave In reply to crushedtulips [2010-10-07 00:25:42 +0000 UTC]

Thanks ma'am! Felt scales or plates would make her a little 'cold' so went with patterns instead, which keeps the feeling more 'flesh' like.

The dragon - simply awesome! The wings are exquisite, and its expression, looking at the book - priceless. I read the comments re the "no hands" thing, and I think it still works - birds have no hands, right?
The girl (?) - love the foot & toes, really a lovely touch, the pose and whole feel of her - almost perfect. The one glitch: the tail. It's a bit comforting to know that even a seasoned pro like yourself sometimes effs-up at the planning stage (a monkee I've been carrying on my own back for ages)... I think having it curve back would have worked just fine.
Final verdict: 9.5 (MAN I'm harsh! )

Loopydave In reply to yatz [2010-10-05 10:09:31 +0000 UTC]

Indeed, birds do not have hands, unless drawn by Disney (where even the most inanimate object must have hands, a mouth and be able to break into song at any given moment).
I wouldnt call you harsh either - you may have given me a 9.5 but the Russian judge only gave me a 7 (seems to think I stuffed up the dismount )
Cheers Yatz!

Funny you should mention bowling - she lists her favourite pastimes as walks on the beach, sunsets and extreme bowling (extreme bowling uses a flameable ball, ten pins filled with kerosine wrapped in c4 and a stream of molten lava running through the lanes gutter).

Cheers man! Nude always works better - you ever tried putting on a pair of pants when you have a long tail out the back, or a shirt when you have spikes or wings? Doesnt really work without a very clever tailor and lots of buckles!

Loopydave In reply to Nevrawd [2010-10-02 16:45:58 +0000 UTC]

Unusual? Whats unusual about a half dragon woman reading a book on dragons, naked on the floor, with another dragon on her shoulder? I see stuff like that everyday! Sure its after I take my medication, and the elephant that lives in my hair has been telling me to ignore the dragons, coz they have been telling lies about him, but who should I believe - the invisible elephant or the imaginary dragons?
Cheers mate - glad you like!
