Artist's Comments

This is a prize for :iconseeker-of-the-skies: for catching my 5000 pageviews! The dragons are his characters Meteora (gold) and Skylighter (violet). Thanks buddy, and I hope you like it!

This was probably the most anal, painstaking "speed-paint" in the history of existence, but whatever. XP I just fail at speedpainting--I start out nice and loose, and get more nitpicky as the picture gets better and I get more afraid of messing it up...

Done in Corel Painter--I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of that program! At the very least, I figured out that the brush opacity was the setting making those nasty jagged edges, and made them go away...mwahahaha...

Ok, I am very tired and probably not being too coherent, so I'll go away now. ;P Hope you enjoy this pic; I really had a good time painting it, and I like how it came out! Yay glowy crystals!

Oh, and PS: April and May gryphs coming soon, I swear--April is pretty much the most detailed and time-consuming pic so far, but it's coming along nicely (if slowly...). May, on the other hand, should be a bit of a break for me...hur hur let's see. :D

I am a Dragon artist of pure.I refuse to join you elitists out there.Not at all even tempted
My dragon style was born of my hand and pencil style instead of 'taking it' from someone else.
I am an affectionable dragon*nudges you gently*I love new friends

Aww, thank you so much! :hug:

As for the style...I dunno. I've never really tried drawing this way before, so it was a new experience for me (and I quite like it! :D ) I used the program Corel Painter--which is good for paint-like artistic effects, although not quite as useful or use-able as Photoshop. But at least I think I'm getting the hang of it now! (It's a really hard program to learn how to use...)

If you don't think you draw certain things very well, then practice, practice, practice! :D That's really the best advice I can give. You should have seen some of my animal attempts from a few years ago...eek! I get the shivers just thinking about it! :lol:

Ooh, I'm so glad you like it!!! :icondragonglomp: I'm really happy about how it came out--Meteora and Skylighter make a beautiful couple, and they are such fun to draw! :D I especially like their sleek lines--very nice to shade. I'm so happy that you like it!!! *Winghug yay!*
