Emergence

Posted Nov 19, 2007, 12:31:56 AM UTC

It is considered a good omen when a water dragon emerges from the watery depths, even the smallest of creatures will herald its comming. 

Commissioned piece.  I would have liked to have made the dragon a little more fierce looking, but the person for whom this was done, it very pleased with it.

Painted in Photoshop.

    Since it is a good omen it doesn't need to be that fierce looking ^_^. I love it. The night shadows and glimmering water, great balance. The highlights on the scales are beautiful, I can almost pet him. I love the eye (looks like a little jewl) is very alive and wild. The fireflies floating around makes it look even more magical. Great job! I love dragons of all kinds.

      Thanks. I was trying something new with this piece and I did learn a thing or two. Wink

    I really like how you did the water and clouds in this. Nice detail in the dragon's scales too, the reflecting purples and blues!

    Don't know why you say you have issues with all your pieces - this one's definitely a beauty!

    But, I can understand. I see flaws in all of my work as well, but that's why I started with these online galleries - to have people to help me learn and improve.

    Your work is already beautiful. You have a great knack for colour - something I've always struggled with a bit myself.

    Beatifully done! Despite the fearsome dragon, the entire scene has a serene feeling. The "fireflies" and the placid surface of the water add a nice touch that makes the entire setting feel much calmer and more relaxed.

    Awesome work on the scales! Great lighting, too!

      Thanks! The scales did take a bit of work, so it is good to hear that they are appreciated. Smile

    I thought that was Nessy for a second Tongue

    I really like the fireflies, and the individual highlights and shadows on the dragon.
