Description ~~~

*nom*

This should actually be called 'Desert Patrol~~~', but DA hates my nifty punctuations marks. (DA titles hate lots of nifty punctuation marks. Hmph.)

Just did this - one hour. I'm surprised at how fast I did it/how well it turned out.

Still working with lineless/painting. I've been browsing and studying as many tutorials as I can and...I dunno. I just can't get the 'okay...now squiggle some colour with the airbrush and...' and somehow it turns out nice and neat. Hmph.

So...I was a bad person and did this exactly how I would execute a picture with lines...but without them. (OMG, NO WAI!!!) (I think it actually went a bit faster because I wasn't worried about filling in my linework with my base colours. I hatehatehatehatehatehatehate masking/filling in base colours... That's the longest freaking part of digital art - at least for me. The lineart/shading+highlighting just whizzes around in no time. Ack.)

Meh. I have a headache. I always have a headache, ftw.

So...yeah.

Haladin enjoying a ride on Juban over the vast expanse of the Arabian desert~~~ Man, I want to go to the Middle East soooooooo bad!...

Any tips/tricks/etc on how to achieve these any better would be much appreciated. As always!

Also any critique would be appreciated.

Enjoy!

Rippers will be nuked and swiftly disposed of.

Nice colours! I like the texture you put on the dragon's body to make it look more realistic and scaled. Great job!

Just get Elements! I can create things in my 'little' program that others can't in their fancy versions! People use their fancy programs for bragging rights.

Elements and Corel Essentials are free whenever you get a Wacom tablet! They're great starter programs. (You could also probably find them online if you looked hard enough~~~ Maybe. I haven't looked into it.)
