Description Commission for Vaalk on FA.

Vvlkn never smiles, but he is known to grin with an inherent cruelty dashed across his rictus. His expression permeates the observant in subversive ways, and his mentality is one that's always seeking to rip a creature asunder. He is manipulative, cunning and utterly brutal, thus it shows through his aspect and is easily reflected from his excessive pride blatantly shown upon himself. He is a vain dragon who adores himself and his capabilities, and it's something that's ubiquitously prevalent in his appearance. He always holds his head high and proud, his features emphasised upon any imagery designed to capture who and what he is. He makes a wonderful subject for a painter who prefers to draw a dictator, even then presenting nothing but sheer ferocity - the painter who draws him would likely find himself/herself dead when the picture has been completed.

It was a long time ago I did something detailed like this. I finally have some free time.

15 hours, Photoshop CS4

This deviation has been featured on our dragon club #DragonSpirit-Club as part of our Weekly Feature and this journal entry .

As usual, your dragons look like something from Todd Lockwood's artwork for D&D. Mighty powerful proud dragons. Keep it up. XD
Congratulations!

You managed to capture a friend of mine quite nicely. that shade of red is so very fitting, along with the gloominess of the whole picture!
Very well done n .n

This is very good. You really did well with the colors. Really, I have always admired how you used your colors for excellent details. As always, well done.

I got some tips of my sister. She told me to use Green shadow instead of dark red. And It came out great I gues.

Thanks!

retroboy78 In reply to Ruth-Tay [2010-02-15 23:26:37 +0000 UTC]

Oh really?! I would have never known that! Green shadow for red base color? Hmm yes... I think I should try that.

Ruth-Tay In reply to retroboy78 [2010-02-15 23:33:56 +0000 UTC]

Yeah you have to use the opposite colors for shading. So for blue you need dark orange and for yellow you need purple.
