And another one! :lol:

I have to make one more dragon image and than a calendar will be published with my dragon artworks which will be distributed on a wide scale yay:)

So expect at least one more dragon from me in the near future;)

This one will be printed on tee's (on the left side and partly over the shoulder) and on the mentioned calendar.

Painted with PS CS3 and Wacom Graphire.

A rock texture is used and heavily repainted.

Painting time: too long

PLEASE view fullsize thanks! :D

Gorgeous work, the detailing is amazing! You did a really fantastic job. <333
Sorry, the background isn't too great; looks like low quality stocks, placed randomly, and well the background just really messes it up. But the dragon itself is beautiful – especially the head.

Art is the birth from the hands to counter the death of the heart. It's the only place I can truly lose 'myself', and become... more than me. ~JRL~
Me likes. Me likes ALOT!!! Great job!! :clap:
Wallace - you are a freaking genius!!!

I know that a lot of artists like constructive criticism, but I honestly cannot think of anything to say other than "wow!"

I love the transparency of hiw wings!

Hey Amroth,

thanks for your honest and direct opinion, really appreciated:)

Okay, let me try to 'explain' things;)

During the process to me the background was anything but random, if you look closely you see an interaction between the dragon and the rock structures, the way the body and tail flows over the rock shapes.
Tha lava stream on the left mirrorrizes the tail to give some symmetry.

The structures on the background is to provide depth and to prevent isolation of the foreground

The rocks are created with a rather flat rock texture which is repainted with the highlights, gapes and shadows to give volume and congruence with the dragon's flow and movement, using mostly a 3 pixel hard brush.

I hope this makes some sense, thanks again!
