Popular Post gmvader Posted June 18 Popular Post Share Posted June 18 It's been a long time since I painted a dragon. It might be a long time before I do another one. This took me nearly six months of painting nothing but scales. Once I had the scales done the rest of it was pretty quick. The galaxy effect on the wings is something that I learned from a Reapercon class and have wanted to do on dragon wings ever since. I'm sure it's not new, there are likely others out there, but it's the first time I've done it and I like how it turned out. 40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Jack Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 That is freakin' awesome! I love the galaxy effect - if you do it well, it makes everything better. (I've painted up a couple of human figures with swirling robes and capes where I painted the entire thing in the galaxy pattern and then gone back and painted over just the highlights in regular colors so that the galaxy pattern was only in the shadows and inside folds of their robes, like there was another dimension inside them.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Slam Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 All that hard work paid off. I agree about the wings and eyes being incredible. But the fact that you brought those blues and purples into the scales was excellent color planning. It takes an unusual concept and really gives it a lot of cohesion. Outstanding!
