Description Edit; Made some adjustments, this version should be better and brighter.

Hello again, everyone! I guess you're all fed up with my pokemon art already! I promise the next one won't be a Pokemon, I'll finally try to finish those promised arts now that my winter holiday in few days. I'm really sorry I'm such a lazy ass. Past week I haven't had any time to draw at home because school literally eats all of my time giving me tons of homework every day. Luckily today I didn't have so much homework to do so I could FINALLY finish this picture. This had been lying on my table for some time, since I watched a couple of pokemon movies. Those movies featured Dialga, one of the very few pokemons I actually like in the 4th generation, and I was inspired to draw it. I really like Dialga.
This was also sort of relaxing method, I drew this every now and then to take a break from homework. The process was long and I didn't rush or anything so this came out pretty nicely. The only problem is that IRL you need a proper light source to see the colours and the whole drawing in its full splendor. And, as usual, my scanner did terrifying job, thank you very much. It obviously hates black paper and obviously hates colours (also hates monochrome pictures, hmm...) and decides to rape them every time it has a chance to. So all honor to my Rapist!scanner. I also hope this isn't too dark for you. It's not easy to set the levels suitable for all screens with a laptop...
Otherwise I'm very satisfied with the outcome. I had very much fun trying to make Dialga look a bit more realistic. Since it's a damn TIME CONTROLLING DRAGON I wanted to give it more dragon like features. I chose to give Dialga some scales. :] I also just wanted to make something detailed, practise perspective, play around with wonderful possibilities of black paper etc. I only have one A4 sheet of black paper left now! D: Damn.

Well, hopefully you like it and won't kill me because it's yet again another pokemon!
(Though it would be awesome to draw a picture of Palkia with title "Lost In Space"! I got the idea from Avantasia's song Lost In Space. ...someone stop me before it's too late!)

Oh yeah! I've found another band whose music I like: Therion! I'd love to have their album "Gothic Kabbalah", I can't stop listening to it, but I have no idea when I'll have money next time. X( This "finding a new band/album to love every week" is getting expensive... I'm frustrated!

This picture is theme number 30. Traditional draw something using colourpencils only from the 100TechniqueMeme list.

Mediums Black paper, a bit bigger than ordinary A4 sheet | Faber Castell Polychromos coloured pencils
Time taken An eternity in parts. Maybe 10 hours.

Dialga is c Nintendo

I'm a little late with this comment but hopefully it doesn't matter.
When I read this critique for the first time the only thing I could think was "Wow". And I'm still speechless. I feel so flattered and happy, all your kind words made me smile wider and wider. I'm so glad to hear you like this picture, despite the not-so-good quality. Saturation really made wonders, this picture was almost to dark to see before.
Anyway, thank you so much for writing such a lovely critique, I really appreciate it!

Tää on musta ihan mielettömän hieno. Mustalle paperille suoraan piirtäminen ja värittäminen onnistuu todella hyvin harvoilta, mut voin tosissani sanoa että oot siinä kyllä ehdottomasti onnistunu. Mielettömän hyvä asento Dialgalla, tehden kuvasta erityisen energisen, ja sopivalla tavalla käytetty värejä luomaan tunnelmaa ja hahmottamaan pokemonin äärirajoja. Mielettömän hyvin käytetty värejä ihan muutenkin, tuotu just sellanen metallinen hehku ja ajankääntö mukaan, nam!
- Voin vaan kuvitella miten luvattoman hienolta tää näyttää luonnossa @__@

Ehdoton favi!

ShadeofShinon In reply to Glowcrow [2010-03-03 20:13:30 +0000 UTC]

Mustalle paperille on niin mielettömän ihana piirtää, tuo mukavaa vaihteluakin. 8) Harmi vaan, että sitä pitää säännöstellä nyt, kun on enää yksi A4 kokoinen arkki ja loput onkin tuollaista pienempää. Tarjoaisi tosin hyvän mahdollisuuden tehdä jotain pienempääkin kuvaa... Hmm.

Mutta kiitoksia mahdottoman paljon ihanasta kommentista! Olen todella iloinen kuullessani, että pidät siitä. 8) Kiitos myös favista!

Glowcrow In reply to ShadeofShinon [2010-03-05 09:37:07 +0000 UTC]

Pitäisi kai itsekin sitä joku päivä kokeilla :3
- Voi hittolainen, tuntuu aina jotenkin ilkeältä jos pitää katsoa että mitä piirtää kun ei oo tarpeeksi jotain tietynkokoista paperia :/

Eipä mitään, työ on ehdottomasti kommentin arvoinen!

ShadeofShinon In reply to Glowcrow [2010-03-07 16:47:36 +0000 UTC]

Se on kyllä aika ilkeätä. :/ Pitäisi alkaa tehdä vähän kaiken kokoisia töitä niin ei aina kaikki riippuisi paperin koosta.

oh heck yes it is <3 It takes a little time to get used to the fact that it's kinda...odd to color on, as you reverse some things, but yeah xD

last thing i drew and finished was Okami o: The red was....weird o_o I only used one, but it had this opacity factor where it took on the shade of whatever i color over xD It's hard to say xD better if you see it i guess? xD well..if you want x3

ShadeofShinon In reply to TwilitTiger [2010-03-07 16:59:22 +0000 UTC]

It indeed is very much different from white paper! But somehow I find colouring on black paper easier than colouring on white paper. o__ó I don't know why but I
just do.

Some colours may be a bit tricky, yes. But I don't think it looks bad at all. (Hopefully I found the picture you meant. Dawn of the Eclipse?)

I noticed that one, too. It looks very nice. And dark objects on black paper sure is interesting! At least you don't have to do much colouring. 'D
