thank you! ^^

I find that light and dramatic lighting can give a piece a lot of character!

Yes, definite improvement (came here through the forum thread). I really like the colour palette of this drawing, monochromatic colour themes are challenging, but all the more rewarding when realized so well as here. The dragon looks really awesome, and powerful. A very dynamic piece, I like it a lot.

thanks a lot!

I never expected that forum post to become so popular xD it's hard to keep up with all the replies, and I really appreciate getting some feedback myself! =)

it was interesting to play with the colour scheme here, and to try to make the different colours apparent, but not too strong.. the portrayed character is quite colourful and his original design is quite cartoony, and I tried to use this as a 'solution' for my realistic approach ^^

I think your approach worked very nicely. You're welcome.

Wow you really grown since the 2009 piece of art. The shading is awesome and really gives the dragon that mood of a powerful creature. Great work.

thank you!

I never warmed up with copics, sadly, which is, i think, also due to their expensiveness and my very limited colours. 

which is what I love about digital painting... all colours are free.

I love how your use of space and values create an incredibly dynamic composition with wonderful movement and sense of focus. That makes such a big difference in how well the piece impacts the viewer. Great work, keep it up!

I haven't done anything with such a colour palette in a long time, and the lighting was a lot of fun to play with

I always loves DIscord as a villain, though I found his design to be.. a bit odd looking x3
