Description ...they live in the icy emptiness, in the depths of space, where even the roaring nuclear furnaces of the brightest of stars are but faint twinkles of distant light in the blackness of infinity. At the end of time, when the energy of the universe is utterly spent and its motion stilled, when the last human being utters a prayer with their dying breath, they will wander the dead emptiness, as they always have, silent sentinels and witnesses to the futility of all...

I like this one. The art could stand alone, but your comment enhances it.

I like the contrast and the furriness of the dragon's ruff.

That is absolutely amazing. I love the solid black for the skin, and the stark white for the fur, rather than trying to add in a lot of details like scales and things like that.

I love the way it loks like it's really winding around...and the fact that it loks like fur and not fire, as people would usually say. The head design is simple, yet really elegant, and the fact that it doesn't have legs makes it more serpentine and thus, cooler and that much more interesting to look at. I take it that it might be used as a tattoo? Plus, I love the fact that you chose to keep it at black and white. Not even any grey! It makes it look flat, yes, but in a good way that makes it seem almost...what's the word?...pure dimensional? Like, it's in pure color, and yet it looks like it's from another dimension... *is at a loss for words today...=_=*
Overall, I like it. Very interesting for the eye to look at. You have wonderful talent...I'd like to see more of these...^__^

Yeah, it was supposed to be a tattoo design for a friend of a friend. In hindsight, it wouldn't really make a good tattoo, though I do like the creatures and plan to use them some more in my art... eventually.

Heh. I guess not, then. But it's still a wicked design. I'm jealous... I'd love to see more of this kind of art. I think you do really well in it! That's not sucking up. It's a fact. *stabs suck-ups*

I absolutely adore the winding motion that this has. The way that the dark portion and the white seem almost twisted together instead of part of the same is fascinating to the eyes. It has a feeling also of black flame and white... two extremes in the same being.
I like how it could also conceivably be seen as fur-like, rather than flame-like. The design itself is interesting without interpretation, which is probably the most fitting way to view something labeled "void."

Draith In reply to TranscendenceEngine [2008-01-28 01:28:09 +0000 UTC]

All I mean is that you had an in-depth explanation for this serpent, not just "here... it's a snake." All I did was describe what I saw... I didn't say "oh my it's a revelation and this is what it means..."
What's wrong with saying more than "Hey, this is cool" ?

Nice line work and use of the black for the body. Could look even more striking with a black background but it does the job as it is
