Description I just realized that I already did a lot of pieces about dragons but none of them showed the dragon doing what they do best: flying. So I decided to remedy that. And now I found some ways to make my image appear less saturated, I'm happy with the final looks. Design of the Gold Dragon is that of D&D

It's the Gold Dragon, Li Jeng and the tiny figure riding her is the French freelance journalist, Jerome Lebois. They're both characters in my story: The Twin Fires. You can read the first chapter here: [link]

Oh, and download it for a better quality view.

Wooooowwww. So pretty! X3
Love your detail on the dragon and the uniqueness of its anatomy.
The tilted horizon, the birds and the lanscape and sky look all very lovely.

Beautiful and gentle piece. Amazing job. :3

Oh wow thats b-e-a-utifl! The scenery down below is great. And I can tell that you paid much attention to lighting of the scales, it looks so peaceful in this golden monochromatic sunset. Love it!

The style in this seems different from the rest of your art, I like it !
The colours and lighting are superb! I have problems myself even with painting in monochrome, I don't even dare venture into dual colour schemes >.<

That reminds me, I desperately need to finish your series. XP

Thanks, I think it looks "different" becouse it's less saturated then my other works.

A nice testing-stone on a gold (θ©¦ι‡‘ηŸ³) for the dawn, yellow scales, and dirt hills. These are very hard to stand out without strong shapes and shades.

Netarliargus In reply to Dystatic-Studio [2011-07-12 17:57:16 +0000 UTC]

Indeed, you'd think they are strong enough?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Dystatic-Studio In reply to Netarliargus [2011-07-12 18:23:14 +0000 UTC]

You couldn't ask for more from such atmosphere. Only one thing is, the shadow looks plain, and somehow blocking the details like a transparent block more than a natural shadow. The shading looks fine, nice and crisp. And finally the scene, I'm not to blame you or something, but I must admit it's looks like a rough stroking with weak colors. Better try to shape up the edge of the hills would be better.

Still, opinion is just a opinion, you're already did well enough with it.

Netarliargus In reply to Dystatic-Studio [2011-07-12 18:29:33 +0000 UTC]

Aha, and how would you have improved it? Use a harder brush for the edges of the mountains? And use stronger colors there as well?

I will tell you if I can, but word cannot be specified the exact way for the visual art. Let me take a rest and I will reply you with some pictures.

Thanks, the wings are a bit like that of a manta ray. So the gold dragon "swims" through the sky.
