Description And this is only half-size.

Partially inspired after watching How To Train Your Dragon. lol, and like about 90% of other HTTYD pics, it was drawn with a good bit of the time being spent listening to "Forbidden Friendship" from the movie.

I also needed to create something peaceful after my experience with God's peace he gave me last Sunday.

What with the split up and pain that grew, I needed to make something to represent my gratefulness for the aforementioned peace.


I did a few things differently than normal in this pic.

1: I decided to work on my clouds a bit here, as I seem to struggle quite a bit with them.
And they're still as ambiguous and 'wat'-ish as they always were.

2: I experimented with a much larger picture, to capture more detail. So instead of my standard 1000x1000 pixel pic, I doubled it.

3: I tried to do a much more lineless pic of Lateon, trying to eliminate as much outline as I could without him being eaten up by the clouds.



Anyway, I'm actually kinda happy with the way it turned out. And painting those fields below the clouds reminded me of when I took a few flights of my own.

Clouds are a pain in the butt, these are probably the best I've done, but still not very good.

Lateon, Toothless. Toothless, Lateon~

BTW, Lateon looks cool (like Hiccup+Toothless at the test drive part of the movie)~
and I remembered that the size of Lateon is quite similar to Toothless... (kinda match)

Vypor In reply to realpeanut2004 [2010-04-29 17:53:48 +0000 UTC]

Somewhat, yes. I suppose size-wise, they are rather similar.

And that part, and the part where they gave that one girl who's name I can't remember a ride were the scenes that inspired this.

Well, since i dont have a Premium membership anymore, i'll write a critique on the comments, and since this is my first time critiqing anyone, i may mess up or something.

First of all, you did a really good job with this, Lateon and the clouds look great. Though Lateon's Right(or Left?)wing seems to be merging with his tailfin(i guess thats what you may call it), you might wanna add more highlight to the wing, and add more shadow to the bottom of the tailfin. Thats the only thing i see wrong with Lateon, you did a really great job on him, and i love the majestic and realistic feel you gave him.
As for the clouds, they could use a lil more work, in some places it looks a lil weird to me, especially the 2 bottom clouds that seem to meet, im not sure you were going for that or one cloud is behind the other. Also, the sky is never a same color, theres usually a lighter and darker hue in the sky. But, overral, this pic is awesome.

sorry if i sounded harsh, this is my very first critique.

Vypor In reply to Alotika [2010-04-29 17:59:28 +0000 UTC]

That's fine, and thank you for taking the time to do this.

I may edit it a bit later on. As that blended feel with the tailfin and wing bothers me too.
As for the clouds, people keep saying that, but I don't know which cloud they're talking about, lol.

And the sky, I can never remember if it gets darker downward or upward. I keep trying to remember which.

About time you posted something :V (And about time I SHOULD post something...)

Atmosphere in there is serene...

Until a jet plane comes out of nowhere.


Anatomical error on right wing.

The clouds are great, but they never actually "touch", if you get what I mean.

That being said, there's a bit of a weird part in the lower-left corner where the clouds meet.
