XDDD Awesommeeeee.
I've never done a mistake on a paper that was hardly noticed.
In other words, they were BIG screw ups, and now that I look at my OLD drawings...
It's like... "AAAGGGHHH!!! I have to change THAT, and THAT, and.... THIS too!!"
But I restrain from doing that cos it's something I look back at to see how much I've improved XD

aw she is shiney and all, but she has a charming face and you've got an interesting pattern of repetative curves in her. Her head piece, the tattoos, the shape of her face and the fin type things, they all work together to keep the eye roaming around her face. nice work.

Thanks!

I should probably re-visit this piece at some point. Maybe. Ok, maybe I'll just do a different picture of her at some point. XD But thanks!

This is very well done calico. The wrinkles in the dress are wonderfully shaded. ^^ keep up the good work.

I really like this picture... I was just floating about dA, looking through peoples lists and such, when I came across this. Now, I absoloutly HATE Neopets. I found it wasted far too much time and made me depressed with it's cute and cheery graphics. But I like this picture.

The background has the look of an old stylized colour print from Arabia, while the draconian figure stands out with her simple yet bold shading. Really, you should work on enhancing this look, not replacing it. ANYONE can do a background that looks like every OTHER background, but this is the first step towards something that could really stand out!

Or you can blur and smudge and gradiant everthing and continue to be one of the faceless masses. I don't know you, so maybe that's what you want. It's your choice. Either way, I like THIS picture, and am going to +fave it.

Working with deserts are hard to do in images. They`re so empty but you gotta make the image seem full. Nice job.

The background is actually pretty nice. my only suggestion is to next time use the Noise filter, it makes it look grainy. ;O

I love her dress. it's grogeous and eye-catching. DRAWS AWAY FROM DISFIGURED FOOT. She's a beautiful character in general, and I love the colors you choose. KEEP UPLOADING.

=3 -snuggles you mucly-

I actually did use the noise filter, but I did a blur over it. I probably blurred it a bit too much, I now see.... But at any rate, this'll probably get a revamped background anyway.

GoGoGiddy [2005-12-01 22:47:37 +0000 UTC]

Awesome job on the shading! The dress looks so silk-like.

Tiny Tip: You may want to use a more varied gradient for the sky to give it more depth.

Thank you so much! I tried about six different ways to get it to look decent. x.x

It looks wonderful, I like the whole dragon altogether and the sky too. I know what you mean on the legs but I think it is not a big problem.

Calicolupe In reply to TraulRathan [2005-12-01 15:59:23 +0000 UTC]

=3 Thanks! I'll probably hide that bothersome foot with scenery if/when I redo the background... Then it won't be any trouble at all. ;D

TraulRathan In reply to Calicolupe [2005-12-01 22:05:40 +0000 UTC]

I like it this way, I would use it as a background if I could save it down ;.;
