Description
Time for more art!This one took a bit longer than my last few. I remembered to check this one with a few different color profiles before submitting it this time, so hopefully I won't have to make my usual flurry of edits.
I tried to use a softer texture this time around. The glowing scales and colors were especially fun to use.
I've uploaded the line art for coloring here: [link]
Comments and criticism are always welcome!

hey Chrom! Not been on in like... a year. So I've missed a lot and was just scanning through some of yours that where in my box.
You've really improved! You have always been awesome with lighting and such, but now there is a realistic feel to some of the pieces I saw and WOW. I'm impressed. Just wanted to share that opinion with ya
not really studied any piece to offer critiques due to Falkon's nap time coming to an end, but from what I saw you are on a great track so keep it up!

Chromamancer In reply to StormyB [2011-01-02 02:01:38 +0000 UTC]
It's good to hear from you again.
And, thank you. I'm rather proud of the progress I've made with my art in the last year. There is always plenty to learn, though. Hopefully, I'll be able to show similar amounts of progress, this next year.
How are your murals and projects going?

StormyB In reply to Chromamancer [2011-01-06 13:47:37 +0000 UTC]
I'm sure it'll keep coming along for you as long as you keep up that practice
to be honest... I've not done a single artsy thing There is a lot behind the why on that, mainly not able to stay in a good mind set due to some issues. But now that Falkon is here, safe and sound
I'm back in the mood to jump in. Just gotta find the time
lol not easy between him & work. and now I miss my old job even more cause I could mess with stuff like that some as long as my work got done. Not even allowed paper @ our desks at this new job o.O
I'ma try and get on again more reg to at least check on a certain few can't wait to see what you work on next

I really love both the color and diagonal compositions on this one
the clouds turned out really nice and soft, and with the few visible stars make a great neutral background.
and the details on the dragon are really nice too! even though at first I though those were organic molecule drawings/symbols on its skin. not that that wouldn't be an awesome idea for itself...
and the overall pastel pallet works great. it makes the whole scene look soft, like some sort of dream.

Mixing the warm and cool colors was one of my favorite parts of this piece.
Drawing stars is always fun, too.

Chromamancer In reply to Dragonletters [2010-12-25 15:52:52 +0000 UTC]
I don't mind at all.
That's one of the reasons why I try to upload them at the size that I do. Most of my desktops come from DA, and I think it's disappointing when artists don't put up large enough versions.

Okay! Thank you.
Yes, I think it's very good.
Whenever I feel like changing bg, I'll sift through your gallery.

This is awesome! I love how the cool colours are offset by the warm glow - he looks very fascinated with his slice of star. ^^
I agree that his hind quarters are larger, but I like them anyways - gives him a more 'character-y' feel. Great work, as always!

I don't think they are too large to throw everything off.
