Description DescriptionI got some really good feedback on my most recent deviation - the 2015 Charity Meme (thank you everyone for the wonderful compliments!). Because I spent a lot of time on each piece individually, I was encouraged by many to submit them separately.

I had originally saved some stand-alone images of these drawings but they were only slightly bigger than as seen in the meme. I figured that I am going to post these separately, I should make it worth it; so I'm posting them at the full, original, 100% size I worked with them at in Photoshop. I had to re-save the image which is why this one shows the 2015 watermark even though I completed it in 11/2014. I hope you enjoy!

Thank you for the compliments! I'm glad you like this work. Also, I'm clinically diagnosed with severe HD (no longer medicated though), so don't let that be an excuse to not achieve your goals

Long, smooth strands of fur or short, cute and scruffy fur. You can paint them all!

Incredible job! I'm glad you made them a little bigger. On my little phone the other images were hard to see. The details are more obvious here.

This character's face is unique. It has me thinking "raptor" like Dromeasaurus (apologies for any incorrect spelling there) but the eye socket looks strange. I keep looking at it and thinking the eye is too small or something. :/

Regardless I like the color scheme and the smooth transition from scales to fur and feathers. It is a specialty of yours I think.

Shinerai In reply to equigoyle [2015-03-15 04:12:49 +0000 UTC]

Thank you for the compliments!  I'm not sure what you're seeing about the eye but I suppose everyone can notice something different.

equigoyle In reply to Shinerai [2015-03-16 03:23:44 +0000 UTC]

True, but on most raptor skulls I have seen through photos or illustrations the eye socket area was generally small but large enough to fit the eye. This dragon's eye socket is very large and square. Probably doesn't matter to much but I couldn't help noticing the shape and size as compared to the eye. May have to go back and look at more raptors. Even they have variations in the skulls depending on the species and such. Don't know what it is but this guy's face just has me thinking dragonified raptor.

Shinerai In reply to equigoyle [2015-03-16 03:35:04 +0000 UTC]

ah I think I see what you mean by what you're saying. However, there isn't much I can do. Please keep in mind that the character isn't a raptor anyway and I drew it the way I did to stay true to the reference. FirstMeet2

equigoyle In reply to Shinerai [2015-03-16 18:26:50 +0000 UTC]

I know. It just reminds me of a raptor. That's probably what I should have said. ^^

Looks great Shinerai! The way you rendered it reminds me a lot of 8-bit. I wanted to ask, when you paint whats your favorite part of the process?

Shinerai In reply to rujiidragon [2015-03-12 17:54:40 +0000 UTC]

Ah thank you for the compliments! That's an interesting question - I think my favorite part of the process is the detailing. Even though it is very tedious and time-consuming, it's the part where things really come to life, in my opinion.

rujiidragon In reply to Shinerai [2015-03-13 00:17:05 +0000 UTC]

Your welcome! Thats interesting because I'm the total opposite, I like the beginning part of concepting the image and designing the characters. I've always had trouble with siting down and detailing even though I love detailed paintings. The detail always seem to kill my work. Happy birthday in advance too!

I really like the texture you've used, gives such nice painted effect *u*
The colours look really great here, and I totally love this character's stripes and fur, looks totally great
the lightning is amazing and ofc the shading too, you draw fur really well!
I like the raptor kind of look on this character and the eye looks so pretty, just lovely colour in it! *u*
I'm glad you're submitting these seperately. They're all stunning!
