Description
I didn't win the contest I entered this into, but eh, who cares, it was fun.When I was doing the bg... I re sized to show my parents.. and
didn't re size back.
This is the highest res file I've got of in its finished state now. *crys* Its was at least 4 times the size before!! All my precious details ....
Time taken: Alot of hours.
Programs and things Used: PS CS2, Wacom School Tablet.
The original dragon was a sketch I did on paper 8D
Nanodragons are (c) to ME and only me >D Same as with that city.

I love this dragon very much. Will you put a description of it?

Thanks!
Basically, it is a dragon created by nano-technology. It's speeds are capable of beyond super-sonic. It's power is regenerative and ferocious.
Sorry I can't put a full description, I don't have the time right now :c

Resizing has become my worst nightmare when working on a high res pic x3 Thankyou!

You're welcome! I have that nightmare too, so I periodically save, in a separate file each time, my progress so far. That way if I screw up and save the screw up, I'm not overwriting what I did want to keep.

I think I'll start doing that to. x3 Its such an obvious solution, but it never crosses my mind while I'm drawing D:

Very nice!!! I was wondering, how do you do your colouring and shading?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks!
Ooh that's actually a hard question x3
With this one, I got the base colours down, then did the basic block shading. I then went on to a bit more detailed shading then the details. I think after that I even added a bit of a shadow layer over the top of some, and did the highlights in the same way.
Some things I think I even shaded as I went, such as parts of the background.
