i love the colors on this

spiffy ^^

The hand might be horrible, but it looks like it might be a really easy fix.

You're having fun, and that's what counts!

I really tried to fix it, but it started to annoy me, so I left it like that. And I ran out of ideas how to fix it, so meh, I will try to do better next time :D

A low angle on the sun. A dynamic pose and posture. This Dragon means business! I would love to see more like this. Having fun is what this is all about!

Thanks for sharing, Riftryu!

Nah, this dragon is just playful in my opinion. But it's always open for interpretation!
Lately I'm doing more stuff like this, so I think you'll see some in the future :3

And thank you for taking a look!

Who says one cannot mean business when playing

I like the wings...

You really do?

Oh yeah. They are translucent but you're still able to see the membrane. And, the motion is cool, I especailly like how the right side (our right) wing comes forwards a bit and under the belly area (I think I might be viewing this wrong though).

Plus the composition is cool, I like how the angles of the dragon and the sky cross where the hand is and draw the viewer to focus more on that.

Oh no it's gonna grab me!

There's too much palm. It seems like the claw is drawn from two opposite angles, with the fingers overlapping. Trying to grab my own face, I would say everything to the right of the rightmost (from our p.o.v.) finger shouldn't be there, and that the thumb is twisted to far to the left. The rest I chalk up to freaky dragon anatomy.

Don't worry, it's a friendly dragon! See how it's smiling?

I don't know anymore, really...I tried to observe my hand too, and it looked okay to me...then I started painting it and all hell broke loose xD. I agree with everything you said and next time I'll try to make some photo references before I go to foreshortening like that. One thing though- I actually can twist my thumb like that :D

Freaky dragon anatomy makes me happy

I see an almost circular effect in the painting here, and it sort of simulates motion. I can actually imagine it taking off or landing, and being all "RAAAAR". I like it. And I also like your choice for colors, mine usually end up being either too sharp or too faint, or a combination of both.

c:

I tried to pull out that circular effect, I'm happy that you noticed! Though it could have been more circular, I dunno...
I'm trying to play a little with colors since that's one of the many things my teachers kept pointing out to me...

Thank you! :3
