Great design and features of the beast, and a very dynamic pose - looks so powerful and ancient.
I like the colours you chose for this.

Amazing painting!
I think that the bottom right corner is just fine. The attention is focused on the wyrm anyway, so the lack of detail there is completely alright.

Magnificence.
If you were to put something in the bottom right, I would say dragon corpses, to give that idea of a huge battle among dragons, wizards... and gods.

awesome sense of motion, fantastic lighting and color-palette. wow.... I mean.... wow.
Actually no. I don't think the bottom right needs anything.

Hum, it's quite perfect!!! Why not another detail in the corner, but it's not indipensable. Maybe it will balance the composition... But you know, it's already marvellous!

Well, by the way you've designed the piece, the eye follows the dragon from the feet/tail up around to the rider, than to the head, and then in the direction the head is pointing. It wouldn't hurt to add some sort of object to finish off the painting. Ideally, a fighter or some creature would be facing towards the feet of the dragon, which would then lead the eye back to the tail... and so on.
I love the black and green!

A little more of that greeney glowness would be nice.
Apart from that, it is PERFECT. (And I'm just a freak for glowies so don't listen to me)

I actually like the focus being on the dragon and its rider, so really dunno what to suggest for that right corner.

Ah, I absolutely love the movement and wings! And the rider is so beautiful. Not flashy or "in your face", just.. powerful and cool. She looks like she's really in tune with the dragon.

Draug88 [2008-03-20 16:02:40 +0000 UTC]
I think you should make something there that is going for the wyrm something "threatening" to it.
maybe something as simple as just showing a hand of someone/something(skeleton/living) trying to climb over a rock towards the wyrm.

Marisale [2008-03-20 15:33:21 +0000 UTC]
Looks wonderful, I love it! As for the bottom corner, I'd say it does need something, but very subtly, since it might clash with the foremost wing. If anything, I would add a few more rocky parts to the bottom centre, to occupy a bit more of that blank space.

Its great imo, but how about a stream of green flames from its mouth all the way down to the bottom right corner...and maybe you can have it burst on top of the rocks just my 2 cents

I'm not sure if you should add anything else in the corner, but I think you should improve the details on the rock the wyrm is standing on. Other than that I absolutely love the concept.
Fantastic.

KrystovArran [2008-03-20 15:09:56 +0000 UTC]
Simply wow. To add an unnecessary comment, I'd be extremely careful about adding to the bottom corner, in case it takes attention from the rest.

I don't think you need to add anything, it works amazingly as it is!
sometimes if you put too much in the picture it over-crowds it. less is more I always say
I love it as it is!

and as for the right corner ... maybe throw in a wizard throwing fireballs or something? or a dead wizard might be better idk. just a couple ideas.

Zyenthillias [2008-03-20 13:44:04 +0000 UTC]
Yes, I think the bottom right could handle just a little bit of something. Nothing much, and keep it subtle, because you definitely don't want to draw attention away from the wyrm (which was expertly done, using the pose as a visual path for the eye to follow!). I think lighting and sharpness of detail was also key to making that the center of attention. The eye tends to focus on what's sharpest, and with the edges feeling softer and more blurred, it says, "Hey, look at the center!!" So I think if you are able to keep that softer, more subtle feel to the bottom-right, by all means, add just a tiny figure, and that would complete the drawing beautifully! ^_^ Very well done here! I envy you!

This is awesome. I don't think you need anything in that lower corner at all, as all the focus is in the upper part anyways.
