I love the bright colours, and the eyes on the fish are funny, what are the things tied around the dragon's neck?

This is fantastic! I like the flowy hair/dreds and those fish are awsome, great design I must say. Your work is so colorful and fun. I love to observe all the little details you put into your images.

Not surprised they're a pain to paint if it's that small Haha XD
But it looks so cool! 8D I love all the colours in it 83 And the fishes look awesome X3

Arrg, I hate moths too XD The other night there was this huge moth in my room 'cept I couldn't see it 'cuz the light was off, and it flying around sounded just like fire XD Started looking everywhere out my window and door and such for a fire and found a moth XD
Two week supply in 5 days? Wow XD

Maybe if you had onna them glowing baubles to hang outside of your window... Maybe it'd attract all the moths out. Hey, mister draaaaagon!...

Don't eat me. D:

Those fish look so silly an fat.

Ricefish In reply to Atalhlla [2008-08-02 12:02:33 +0000 UTC]

Nah, they'd just fly to the window from outside and then manage to get in through a tiny gap despite their inability to get back out through tiny gaps xD

I love silly fish!

BecSparrow In reply to ??? [2008-07-31 11:28:24 +0000 UTC]

The white scales may have been a total bugger to paint, and I can imagine just how painstaking that was, but they looks absolutely superb! I also really like how the dragon's mane merges directly into his scales, and how each piece of mane is floating independantly in the water!
Once again, this looks absolutely magical!

hehe wo such an awesome scene Great work on this ^____^ it looks stunning. Beautiful work on the colouring I really like the bright eyecatching colour scheme C: and the shading and pattern work overall is so nice and detailled too 8D I especially like the white tipped scales they look very funky ^____^ and I really like the placement of characters on this piece as well :3 the fish look so sweet and adorable 8D and you've fitted in the Dragon really well awesome work

And ARGH to the moth problem D: we've been having a horrible beetle problem lately O_O I would rather have moths fluttering everywhere XDD

Oh hey, a straight forward compliment from you? Don't make a habit of it ;D
Halfway through. I read when I'm not drawing or watching Disney Cinemagic...Basil was on yesterday! And when I have the time, and I enjoy the book, I read slooow
I love how...simple and old fashioned The Black Cauldron was! Readin' The Alchymists Cat though I found myself wondering why the old man did not simply beat some sense into his daydreaming assistant xD

Awesum film. I enjoy it too. Real fast. When i'm really into a book it doesn't last nearly long enough and i can't pace myself D:

Pffsh, you know I enjoy crit...I'm drownin' in syrupy words here

Yes sir! 8D

You'll just have to excuse me a moment while I go tell the world how happy I am that I have finally been recognised as a true artist by the...anthro gallery director of DA...and how this will most certainly lead to an excellent, well paying art career. How could it not? Thanks for your work! 8D

lololxDDD

When will people learn that whatever happens on dA doesn't actually mean anything? I mean, seriously! They dinnae ken anythin'!

Although, you could make half a living by whoring yourself out here and selling works and prints and merchandise etc. D:
But a career? If anythin', dA works against you.

Although... it does provide you with good skills to be a freelance artist that works on commission. It teaches you that having values and dignity will get you nowhere in the industry. Like being an actor. Or a prostitute.

Ricefish In reply to 1B6 [2008-08-01 16:35:44 +0000 UTC]

When art teachers tell you you're gonna be successful, they should clarify that what they really mean is, you'll have no problem becoming an art teacher. Nobody cares if your kid is being taught to doodle by a talentless hack! D:

Weeell, quite a few people from DA get into games careers and such, but not because of the amount of pageviews and favourites they have, pfff. They actually get out there and present themselves to companies, or build up their own. DA is just a side thing, like LJ. But, most people here think that once they get popular with the writhin' masses, all they'll have to do is sit back and let the offers roll in xD
That's probably why *dolphy threw a fit when she didn't win Disney's talent scout thing, ha

My parents want me to live as an art whore. There's this talentless hack of a girl that set up shop in New Mills with...badly painted mermaid pictures covered in glued on sequins and glitter and shit, cheese-graters painted pink, etc...and they're like, you could be her! D;

Were there any plastic toys stuck down on stuff? 8D

I can't believe you do your works in watercolors! The colors are just so smooth and creamy . . . *drool, drool* I also really admire how your pieces are really detailed, but they still have a soft feel about them. You also really know how to deal with negative space. I'm jealous . . . I wish I could be of some help and critique you on something, but nothing really comes to me . . . Anyways, keep up the great work!
