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.

Man, you should write a story with nanodragons. Or make a comic.

Anyways, this is really nice. <33 I love the background, and all the little details in the dragons design! Great work. <33

such amazing colours. I like the design and the posture. The metal pieces and the wings are well done.

Pity though that most were lost in resizing of it. I cant believe I lost the high resolution file *moans*

I'm glad some still show through though.

Whoa, that's really good! Tho personally, I liked it better when there were more yellows 'round the city. I'd add some, just as reflections...
But that's just me being hyperactive Tell me where I can vote for you once you submit... If ppl from countries on the other side of the world (compared to Australia, I mean this literally) are allowed to.)

SamuraiDragon In reply to eXdrachen [2008-05-12 08:20:12 +0000 UTC]

I dont think it's a voting system more than a judging system. Thanks though!

Yeah, I killed the yellows because they were distracting from the dragon too much. Might've overkilled the blueness, but I was running out of time. >.>

I also have a syndrome about loving the colour blue 8D

eXdrachen In reply to SamuraiDragon [2008-05-13 05:21:48 +0000 UTC]

Well, blue IS good (around here, there's even a popular song about the fact), but I think a little bit of yellow in the upper right corner would be just the right seasoning for this masterpiece.

Really cool, the shading is great, although I find that the background is a little to dark.

SamuraiDragon In reply to Sage-By-Day [2008-05-12 01:01:21 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! :3

It may be the computers gamma,
but the reason it's dark is to make the dragon stand out more. With the other bg I was trying, the dragon was just getting lost.

I can see where you're coming from though. The "floor" is too dark. I ran out of time though to fix things like that up. D:
