Hate it? Not at all; this is amazing; it reminds me of traditional ukiyo-e art. Very nice style, and I like the subtle splashes of colour.

The colours are too dead in comparison to the liveliness of the image and it's motion.

Very nice I could easily see this as part of a kick ass tattoo or just as a mural piece.

Thanks, I've done afew tattoos like this, never though about adding it to a mural type piece. I've airbrushed afew but usually portraits and graffiti style. Might add some oriental stuff next time

Its tattoo styled. I try not to make it look to much like a tattoo design, I draw those ones all the time at work

brokenpuppet86 In reply to ConcreteRainx [2010-12-15 22:38:15 +0000 UTC]

Judging from your other work I reckon your quality with pen and ink. Something like the after mindnight pic would look amazing in sketchy pen and Ink style

ConcreteRainx In reply to brokenpuppet86 [2010-12-16 05:25:35 +0000 UTC]

haha, thanks, funny story about the after midnight pic though.. i originally started doing it in pen and ink and it was just a total FAIL xD so i re-did it in photoshop. i think i just got carried away with the pen though, if i did it yet again i might be able to get it right.

The drawing looks amazing, love the details on the scales, and the flowers, and all, I also love the colors of it, I'm happy when people do lots of details in their drawings, they put so much effort, like you

lovely

hybridinsurgency [2010-12-14 21:43:53 +0000 UTC]

Awesome colors. I like the style of the dragon and the detail in the flowers. The sepia-ish tone is nice. I think it would have had a different feel if it were the more 'standard' white.

brokenpuppet86 In reply to hybridinsurgency [2010-12-14 21:49:38 +0000 UTC]

thanks, I agree. The black and white one has a completley different feel, mad how just a touch of colour can change the pictures vibe completey

Gorgeous, really like the shades of brown. Maybe you tried a more golden version too?

brokenpuppet86 In reply to undermine [2010-12-14 21:20:24 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. Na when I do dragons I tend to do a tint of brown to give it an aged look, kinda becoming a signature of mine. think I might have to try a dragon with some gold in it, think that could really work

undermine In reply to brokenpuppet86 [2010-12-14 22:32:49 +0000 UTC]

Yeah it does give an aged look.
