Description
... but who is the Sacrifice for who?===== ===== ===== =====
The interesting bit:
Having spent some time away to recharge, a long late night rambling conversation with ~abe123 resulted in some inspiration. This image came into my thick head and turned out almost exactly how I wanted it (which makes a change
I was going for an almost comic book kind of feel, with some relatively strong colours and good posing. I wanted a kind of serene, relaxed look, almost inviting on the girl as she lured the dragon to its doom. I think I got that LOL. As always, I like to try new things and a lot of the effects were new to me (like the Drool... never done that before, well, no, I've drooled lots, but never drawn it...).
The dull bit:
Initial render in Poser over 3 passes. 90% of the work done in Photoshop, including custom skins, lighting etc etc.
Comments appreciated, as always
Enjoy!

^-^ I probably don't ^-^ I mostly use plug-ins for ps to do hair... but I'm trying to be able to draw the hair myself... it just dosn't seem to quite turn out right (I think I make it too bright, and the shadowing just dosn't seem to look right)

Sword hilt a little too long, and the lady naked is a little bizarre, but it's a good image nevertheless.

seriously, only a few years. But I've worked as a Graphic designer for about 8 years. Deviant Art has been the kick I needed to actually do anything constructive
