Description
A piece created for Issue 17 of Digital Artist Magazine, coming to a Borders/Barnes & Noble near you sometime next month!I finished this a couple days after FC2011 when I was sick and sicker, so I am sad that it's a bit more rushed and wobbly than I would like, but BOY! Did I have a blast with this assignment! The article is about painting in monochrome, specifically, Cobalt Blue. The CD included with this month's magazine has the full size line art for this painting.
Smashed hard in Corel Painter X.

I just love the colors and the dragon is like epic win !
Althought I think the crystal balls could have a more reflective and sphere effect.
But this is definetly one of my favorite piece of all time !

You're welcome!
btw, I just looked at the website link you posted with that. Despite browsing the page for like 5 minutes, I have no idea of the content LOL the piece is so eye-catching at the background

Fish! Oh and such a lovely dragon too. The fish just jumped out at me first. Very beautiful Vantid!

Cobalt blue is an amazingly marvelous hue... and I really like what you've done with it. Such beautiful details!

i requested this as a print. I know its for a magazine article, but lets say i couldn't get ahold of my own copy (or just wished to have a good print of this) how can I get one?

and another question, what does the lineart actually consist of?

I'm not sure what you mean. The lines I submitted is a cleaned up sketch that I painted under, so it is s little different from the finished piece. I hope that helps!

okay, what i meant (and shoulda said it) is if the drawing is just the dragons body with the fish and the artist would have to add the water or bg or what have you

i really like this. its so relaxing. I'm glad you used blue to contrast with the seemingly chaotic movement going on. It actually looks like its silent despite all the energy expressed here

Beautiful representation of an oriental dragon, especially all in cobalt blue.
