chairman ali Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 It's pretty good. 2 problems though, they're lacking good colours and a better background. But the dragon is nice, could use more detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DG- Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Some of it's really detailed, but, like, at the horn, not as detailed as the other parts. I think that's what he meant. It's really good. Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chairman ali Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Everything has to be detailed precisely even if your focal is the head. 'They're' meaning background AND focal.Don't take things personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EocDragon Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 No its true stop being a noob. Stop being difficult. Detailing itself probably isn't a style, but the level of detail used is an important aspect of any style. Just a little bit or an extreme amount of detail; it doesn't really matter as much as making sure that the level of detail is consistant throughout the piece, which Nick accomplished fairly well. Please don't insult his ability as an artist by spouting nonsense. Any way, I'd have to say that you could have done more outside of the dragon itself. I understand that it was practice and I understand that you really only wanted to focus on the head, but there are elements that are missing from the scene. For example, the dragon's neck transitions into the bottom of the picture by fading into a sea of yellow-green. But what does that tell the viewer? Is the dragon emerging from a glowing pool of radioactive liquid? Or maybe just all the light happens to be yellow-green? What is the dragon hiding underneath the yellow-green he fades into? Is his body covered in scales? Does he have a terrible rash he doesnt? want us to see? Or maybe he doesn't have a body because the artist got bored and started on some other project? We as viewers will never know, because you really haven't given us any indication. While it is okay to not give the viewers a clear idea of what lies beyond, at the very least you should at least point them in a direction.

EocDragon Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 When you know enough about graphic design then come back. kthxbai. When you know what your talking about then come back. This is not graphic design. It's not a signiture, it's not a banner, nor anything else that would traditionally be associated with graphic design. This is a digital painting. The methodology that is used for making a signiture and making a digital painting are completely different; don't pretend that they're interchangable. Yes, I am aware that you draw. If anything, that should make you more aware of the fact that detailing is stylistic. The fact that you can draw yet still won't acknowledge this confounds me. If you think high levels of detail are imperative for every style, then you really need to take another look at the world around you. Please note that, whatever response you decide to post, I will not reply to it again. This is Nick's thread, and out of respect for him I am done playing games with you.

LiAM Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 No criticisms at all. Looks really good and has a dark/ deep feel to it. Very enigmatic too.
