Artist's Comments

May 5th: MAJOR edit

My client and I felt there was something lacking with the previous image, so I have added a close-up of a alligator's head, this one is entirely painted.

I have also tried to improve some elements that were mentioned by you, most noticably the reflection of the moon.
Thank you so much for the helpful comments,
you guys rock! :D

Well it was just a matter of time I did a real life lizzard:P

I had ti turn a broad daylight scenery into a night one which was tricky.

The alligator is completely repainted from low res photo.
The water is partially painted
The ground and moon are painted

I hope you like this one

Well, I'm just happy with the timing here! I wasn't wearing my chicken outfit when I clicked on this one! LOL! Really nice work with the night transformation as that is not an easy task, and the detail on the lizard is really well done! Everything blends together very well and I really can't tell what is what! Most excellent work on this one, it came out great!

This is absolutely fantastic work. You did a great job playing with the lighting they gave you and turning day to night. I'm impressed. And, as always, your attention to detail is astounding. I could stare at those scales for a week and a day. :D Great work.

You almost could post this as a Digital Art > Paintings & Airbrushing where you used a reference image, since the only thing not painted was a part of the water.

Didn't like the moon reflection on the water, if you spent a little more time on it, i'm certain it would be a lot better ;)

The alligator skin is fantastic, but his eyes doesn't fit with the rest of the color schematic. maybe a little bit dark would be fine.


I hope i did express me well.

This is done very well, but in terms of converting it to night I feel like reducing the contrast and burning out the highlights on both the alligator and the sand would enhance the effect. Right now it seems like you just darkened it.
Overall awesome though, especially the water!
