Description
~~~I did Thom and Idracil, so I had to do Hal and Juban - you guys know that's how I roll.
But yeah.
It's getting better.
And taking stupid long, omg. I find it slightly sad that these take longer, (like, a lot longer,) than lineless pictures. It's 'cause I get all OCD on the lines and they all have to be UBER CRISP and PRETTY, OMG, YUS. *smacks lips*
Bigger file sizes, hmm...
My lines are thinner and crisper, the shading is sharper, the highlights are pimpin', and I'm now using that colour/hue/fade trick. I like it. A lot. O.o How Juban's butt fades from tomato red to carrot yellow...yes.
(I actually really, really do love it.
Hal says 'TURN RIGHT! TURN RIGHT! OMG, YOUR OTHER RIGHT!!!'
So yep.
Thanks to the people who stopped by when I was streaming this, too.
Music - mostly Meast Mix...and some of my other lists.

I must say, I simply love the motion in the picture. The dragon, the rider, and the background all fit into this sort of arched motion, which draws your eye wonderfully across the entire image. The expression of the dragon is wild, as well are the positions of his legs; when you think desert, you think wild and wilderness. This dragon reminds me of the desert. The style of your art I have long time liked, and this image is sort of unique because it is yours. Especially the person; the wildness of the dragon is balanced out by the calm and excited frustrated determination of his rider to calm his friend.
The colors also fit together fantastically, especially the murky blue sky. The yellow fade on the dragon's wings kind of reminds me of a sandstorm which again, goes back to the entire desert theme.
One thing I would have changed about this picture was the whiskers on the dragon; they seem a bit to wild, and don't follow the flow of the dragon itself. If I were to fix it, maybe I would have made the whiskers follow the dragon's body a bit more, to add to the motion. The positive thing about the whiskers is that they follow the wildness of the dragon with their electric curves (as well as the tail e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/x… " width="15" height="15" alt="
" title="XD"/>).
One thing I am unsure of (but like e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="
" title="
(Smile)"/>) is if the blurry background is on purpose or not. It would make sense if the dragon were flying at high velocity to have one of those epic 'detail shots' where the concentration is on the dragon and rider (I suppose that is what it is), or if it something else.
All together, this is one of the better pieces I've seen by you. Great Job! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="
