Artist's Comments

*Update start* corrected some issues with the teeth and lower lip of the dragon, btw. dA has a very bad compression method especially with this piece - colors and details got lost in previous versions *update end*

FULLVIEW is DUTY!

Ok, here it comes, more devilish than the WIP -ones, i know its very dark, but i changed the loss of details, for the new focus on the important parts;-)

Have decided to leave the details on the dragon to the head and the shape, instead of painting countless scales, sometimes a mood compensates more than hours spent on details.


This collab was a lot of work, i think i have improved a lot(thanks to those who commented in the following threads)

Critiques


:iconwhimsi:
When I first saw this, I was disappointed at how much of the beautiful color was drown out by the brilliant red. Now that I have fullviewed it, and looked around it a bit more, I think these colors suit the image very well. I really love the deep blueblack in contrast with the insanely bright red.

I think many of the details of your image came out better than I ever would have expected. Her face in particular is very awesome looking.

I like the idea of teeth in the dragon, but the teeth that are there sort of don't seem to fit with the rest of the image, to me. They look a little less polished than the rest of the painting. Perhaps some smaller and more widely spaced teeth, like you'd see in the mouth of a crocodile would feel more fitting. It seems like the rest of the dragon is a bit more realistic than the mouth full of teeth.

Overall, great work, I love the colors you've chosen. The woman's wardrobe is beautiful! I don't know how she's staying in there, but it looks lovely ;)

WOW this came as a shock after seeing your original WIP, colours are looking great. I love the details on her top and the dragon has an almost sinister grin :D Great piece

I like it a lot. Detail can sometimes be overrated. My on;y suggestion would be to darken the wing and lighten the head. Right now they kind of bleed together.

Or vice versa. Somehow make them differentiate more.

I think you made an incredible work.
Finally, I don't know if I was such a good model. Not as much anyway, you made a fantastic work and you remade a lot of things since your first image, following the comments. I know it's hard to remake a work you're proud on, and you did it anyway. I really respect you for that!
(and for you talent of course!)

The detailwork and anatomy on the lady is really great. Although the transition to red is also a good decision, I personally think this is a bit "too" red? It gets a bit tiring for the eye when all the shades are very warm oranges and reds. Also the depth which the WIPs' had is a bit lost.

I would suggest that you toned the reds a bit down on some parts to make a play between the contrast of saturation. :)

Otherwise, excellent work. I love how you gave the gal some meat on her bones and a curve! :D

You totally changed the mood, I've never seen a dragon (not yet :giggle: ) but this one looks specially deadly... those teeth... I like the changes you did to her face but the pose is still complicated, her knee and foot are in different angles, it's oddly rotated, I would align the foot with the knee. Now the hand at the left, the fingers are too straight, it looks a bit flat, compared to the other hand which is superb, maybe you lost detail there when you changed the colors.
