About making of this picture
Already 8th Commision for my dear friend Draco! And actually 14th time when I drew his character ^.-.^ I'm suprised of how well did it go, I was trying out a new style. What new style? Style of not using any of photoshop custom effects! Time for true art, not just some propelly used computer effects! And as I said, I'll upload all the pictures, made in the time I took a break from dA, starting from 24th December. My official comeback is tomorrow. But it's already 24th in Australia, so here comes the first one. I'm proud of this picture vision. It's dark, but not sad. It's peaceful. It's pretty in my opinion and if you can - write me a critique.
About the Picture
The peaceful night, a perfect time to burn a leaf while standing on the hill. Enjoying the quiet scenery and the red flame lighting up the moment.
Technical information
Work time: 8 hour
Programs used: Adobe Photoshop Elements 8, Microsoft Paint (size convert), Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen&Touch M Tablet.

Nice drawing of Draco. I like the colors. Reminds me of the Legend of Spyro games.

Haven't played, heard of the game. I wanted this art piece to be soft within its detailed effects. Guess effects are the only pros of this artwork xS

looks to me like Draco is a mega-evolved dragonite which is kinda bad-ass

it's definatly a nice piece, once again mostly due to the background, you're really good at drawing nature and landscapes.
you did well on all the effects as well, the sky and fire. mostly the moon actually, the moon looks awesome

Do you want the sky background only? I could give you it if you enjoy it that hard

Same do I.
And.. I just wonder if I shouldn't fix the fire on totally left side, it is too intensive, don't you think?

Just a little bit maybe less spread out and more together

I've noticed that too it really does stand out and has good texture. But if you don't mind me saying when you compare it to the dragon it does look like the dragon would be lacking in details. Perhaps show scales maybe?

I tried to keep is "comic" like I got it on the ref, but next time I might try drawing scales.

Nah, just two more... only two.. argh, so much...
And thanks, I've asked Draco is he's fine with transparent wings, as his character originally doesn't have it transparent. Glad he agreed ^.-.^
