Description
[Click for large file - but be warned, it's huge!]If there were ever a time where blood, sweat, tears and banging my head against the table numerous times was soooo worth it I wouldn't have it any other way, that time is definitely now. I. AM. SO. F***ing proud of this!
So here you are Jesse, this is what's been keeping me from doing our collab, but I hope you don't mind when you see it. It's by far the most detailed picture I've ever created and I don't think my words could ever express how proud I am to have finished this for you
I hope you've probably guessed by now who these two dragons are, but if you're in doubt it is of course Crona and Certo
I wanted to do them in a realistic style and since I know you love my pencil drawings I thought I'd go for it and make it a grand piece.
Now all there's left to say here is... HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY!!! this is your day!

Spartan G01: I didn't say anything.
Razor: Just look at the screen you morhon!
Spartan G01 looks at the screen and stares in awe.

We all have our strengths I guess
I always loved pencil and ink drawings so that's just what I do best ^^
I've seen some people who do water color really skillfully to the point where I'm almost a little jealous

Maria, I think my heart just stopped! *Literally gasping for breath, clutching at chest.* This is truly amazing! I... I don't know what to say... I never knew how much I valued you as a true friend until this... I feel so unworthy.... I... Don't know what to say... I love it! I *Gasping for breath.* Omg! I need a moment! You didn't have to... but I'm going to put this in a picture frame! Thank you so much! I think I'm in love! (You know what I mean. Wink. lol) Wow, my heart is really throbbing right now... I love it so much!

Happy birthday!
And "Thank you" would be very nice *GG* LOL sarcasm here.
I'm very glad you liked it ^^ though I was fairly certain that you would. I'm so glad to have such a good friend that I felt he deserved something very special
If you want it in print, it's been scanned on a high quality scanner, so I might be able to print it in large format (as in...bigger than A1)

You're right. I was so astounded that I forgot to say the most important thing of all. Thank you Maria. *Pulls into a warming hug* You have no idea how much this means to me. I've been planning your birthday gift since you asked me about my date. I haven't decided on one thing yet or to go the with the whole lot. Because I would like to show you how much you mean to me as a friend and person who I admire very deeply.
What size would you recommend? I was thinking about printing it out to be able to hang on my wall over my bed. I know that sounds silly but it's true, I love it very much and I want to show it off to everyone... that I haven't shown it to already...
Thank you so much Maria. *Holds tighter, but not too tight.*

*is thoroughly enjoying the nice hug*
You've...been planning my birthday gift? But my birthday isn't untill the end of the year! Besides, you don't need to prove anything, I know you're a good friend to me, that's the most important thing for me
Buuuuut I'm not gonna stand in your way if you want to make something, you make such wonderful pieces
I'm not sure what size... it really depends on how big you want it And you need to recieve the .tiff file from me then
because the one I've uploaded here is only jpeg and not a very good quality (due to the obvious reason of the real one being enormous)

That just means I have more time to work on it and make it better and better. Still a bit unsure of what I should make it look like... but I have a pretty good idea. And you are right, I don't have to prove anything to you. But I'm doing it because I want to (obviously. lol) Seeing what you can do has made me want to work harder at my own style. Yes, I'm saying you're an inspiration to me. I will spare no expense at making you something so totally awesome that it will knock your socks off and hit Jesper across the room with them. lol But that's just the plan. We'll see how it goes when the time comes. heh heh.
Well, I was thinking pretty big... cause my mom is really good with framing large pictures... I was thinking something poster-sized if not slightly bigger... Maybe even a wallet size so I can carry it with me when I come visit. lol. Sorry, had to get that out. haha. Would the poster size be alright with you?

LOL in my face *GG*
Thanks buddy, I'm sure it'll be great!
And I'm flattered that I inspire you
If I can somehow send you the file, then you could get it printed... maybe I could make it a PDF? Though I need to be able to send it to you and it's a pretty large file (70mb)

Spartan-029 In reply to vonPipkin [2009-05-30 23:50:33 +0000 UTC]
Wow, that is big... hm.... I wonder.... I know my email doesn't usually let me get files over 10MB... I just thought of a really odd idea... I thought it would be funny/ interesting to send a flash-drive via mail and you put the file on the flash drive then send it back... I know it sounds silly but it was just an idea...

vonPipkin In reply to Spartan-029 [2009-05-31 06:45:47 +0000 UTC]
I could do that I think
But how about I make that PDF-file first and then zip it and then I'll see how much it can be compressed to? Mind you I'll have to do it at work, so it won't be until tuesday since we have monday off (holiday)

Dairuga [2009-05-29 16:20:42 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, you are right It was totally worth it
The level of detail is simply amazing, and all those little scales of different sizes looks simply stunning. The way you managed to add realism to the characters is truly, truly an epic feat, for the lack of a better word
All the shading you have added to the picture looks gorgeous, and the fact that all those little scales are so well made makes it even more awesome. The muscles and wings that you managed to make makes the picture look even cooler
So yeah, I have already said this before, but you are a really, really amazing artist, and you should certainly be F***ing proud of it!
Amazing job!

Wow..just...wow.
SkratchCat, this is by far the best work I've ever seen you do.
The amount of detail, hard work and realisim that has gone into this is truly breath taking.
If Jesse is as smart as I think he is, then he will be just as amazed as I am.
I would write a Critique but this has left me utterly speechless.
You are truly an amazing artist.
