Description
Commissioned by Karyousu . Shenron the edgy edgelord belongs to theeeem.If anyone has a critique or observation or anything that'd be great - it's big and complex and i've worked on it for way too long so who knows what kind of errors did my eyes get used to. Regular comments are much appreciated too.

So I saw you have another comment on this, but before I even scrolled down, the first thing that caught my eye was the sexy curve of that tail. Love the extreme stylization! So uhm, if you were looking for more feedback on that front, whelp, there's mine.
(also, perhaps more of a comment for the owner of the OC, but maybe he/she was going for η₯ιΎ (Divine/Celestial Dragon)? Same pronunciation, but more a more common name name than ζ·±ιΎ (Deep Dragon). Oh well, just found that interesting )

Thanks I did it too because i like it that way and the commissioner didn't mind (ofc it'd have been different if they did). That bit about the spelling was interesting even though it was not directed at me. Now i'm curious about it too. >3>Β

Overall it's very nice but I'm not quite sure I understand the way the tail flattens at certain angles. Also the abdomen of the dragon seems excessively long (from bottom of rib area to hips), but, that may be a design element of the original character more than of your rendition, I don't know.

I just like to stylize it past the point of realistic anatomy (the tail). Is it... still too much? Hard to tell where's the line.Β The long torso is intentional, yes, the starting point was Final Fantasy dragons except as a sleeker, more eastern-looking dragon. But if these things are not 100% clear then it's worth thinking about how to do them better, thanks!

Yeah it's a concern i shared too. Oh well. I learned a lot about how to do dark on dark and next time i'll do better, as usual, hopefully. Thanks for the input, and i'm glad you like it. :v (it didn't take ages, just two months lol)

This is amazing. I love this. This is quite honestly the most gorgeous reference sheet that I've ever seen.

Dayum... I wish I could give a critique, but I don't know much about creating characters.

Thanks anyway! :> I guess i was looking for a critique on the technical aspects, not the character, because the character isn't mine so that kind of critique would be lost on me.

Stunning! I love how you work on characters Raven! <3
Only thing I'd say that needs fixing is the eye on the lower left figure - it needs to be moved more towards center of the face (and only by few pixels). But it's only a suggestion, not a nit picking!

WhiteRaven90 In reply to Adalfyre [2016-10-17 19:26:48 +0000 UTC]
Thank you! That eye was actually even further to the left, haha... So when i moved it around to fix it i felt like this is ok. Could be still pulled to the right, i guess, and thanks for pointing it out, it didn't come across as nitpicking. Nitpicking is when i show great concern for missing a black pixel over an almost completely black background somewhere on the bottom left...

Nonetheless, looking forward for more of your pieces and hopefully order something by myself in upcoming year <3

He's doneee :'D
Everything turned out incredibly, Raven; the work you put in definitely shows~ The way you formatted everything looks incredible; somehow it doesn't look crowded despite all the different poses in there. It flows wonderfully and I'm sure Ryou couldn't be happier with the result!

Yeee he is~ Thanks! Without all the fluff there'd be quite a lot of empty space between the figures, so it's mostly thanks to that i think. But yeah i also had to think about posing and arrangement a bit before i settled for this. (Ryou likes/seems to like it, hehe)Β
