Thanks so much! And yeah, once I got started on them, the scales were actually kinda fun :b

She's beautiful ^^ I love dragonesses.

same here!

Thank you kindly :) <3

beautifull :)

Thanks <3

Fantastic work, hands down the best dragonness artwork i've yet seen on this site

Wow, that's quite the statement! Thank you very much, flattered you think so!

It's truly impressive, especially the design and shine on the scales and the way you've done her bra and knickers are in a league of the their own (it's a pity she's wearing any clothing at all, but i'll let this one slide )

Thank you again, I appreciate it, really <3 It's a bit of a pain, but if you make sure the scales really contour to the body, it makes it look way better! Why I find trying to take shortcuts with brushes never quite works out :b

this is stunningly beautiful

Thank you kindly :)

Oh my god.. I want you to do my dragon... :O

Hehe, maybe some day! My commissions slots are pretty rare and fairly contested, but keep an eye out for them :)

I try... everyday im watching for them :<

Aww, sorry ^^;

some day... someday ill make it D:

Hot. Damn.

<3

she is very beautiful

Thank you :)

There's a dragon I'd like to lay.

Haha, well, I'm not so sure how she'd feel about it, but she certainly looks game in this picture, at least :b

She single? Gimme her number :p

146-837-2466
1-HOT-DRAGON ;)

I so watch one like this x3

Want, you mean? *suspects auto-complete* Well, anyway, thanks!

want one also I passed out after this comment ><

lol

Hey there she is. :) Really loved great you managed to make this one look. Thanks so much for the beautiful job you did on her for me! Those scales really made the pic!

Yeah, I'm really glad I decided to tackle them after all :3 Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to work on 'em ;)

Me too! XD And it was my pleasure, really. You do gorgeous work and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to babble constantly about my characters while you worked on her. :p I also love it when I leave a word out of a comment I post so its always gonna be there forever for folks to read and notice. Ha!

Thanks again <333 Hopefully now that I know what I'm doing, the other ones won't take so long? :S XD

Also, hey, there's a comment edit feature now, yeah? At least, there should be I think o_O Maybe only lasts for a short while?

Nay I shall display my screw up with pride! Bwahaha!

Also, I feel sorta bad for making you be briefer in your character writeup XD Maybe for the next one, you can have the point form stuff first, then put in all the stuff you would anyway after, haha.

;)

Thanks!

Beautiful!

Any advice for how to paint lace like this gorgeous stuff?

Thanks!

First of all, I drew in a big blob to be the see-through mesh bit - I used a textured brush, 'cause real lace isn't usually quite sheer.

Second, I drew the outline of the panty/bra shapes on a new layer on top of the "mesh" one. Then I started drawing in some loopy/flowery patterns like they tend to put on lacey things - this was the most time-consuming part.

Thirdly, I erased the mesh bits that were "sticking out" from under the outline layer. I also applied a slight "bevel/emboss/texture" effect to the outline layer as a quick/easy way to give it depth and texture, since lace tends to have a slightly bumply texture to it.

Fourth, I masked/locked the final design for the lace and mesh, then coloured over it again, applying slight shadows/light areas to match the body, so it's not entirely flat white.

Fifth, I added a tiny bit of shadow beneath the outlines where it sits on top of her skin (it's most visible on the panty strap on her hip).

Hope that helps! I used Photoshop, but most of what I did with the exception of maybe the bevel/emboss/texture effect should be entirely doable in other programs :)

That makes perfect sense - thank you! I try to avoid filters when I can but this sure seems like one of the places I'd want to use them.

lol the lace is so pretty I thought it was part of her scales at first lol. This is gorgeous super well done hun. I see improvements, i didn't even think it was possible for your work to grow more amazing but it has.

Aww, thank you kindly <3 Yeah, I think the trick here was to really just take my time ;)

She looks amazing and stunning beautiful

Thank you kindly <3

Damn, the detail on this one is fantastic. Love it!

Thank you!

Wonderful piece Jocarra. It must of taken ages to get all the detail into those scales though, but the pay off is wonderful

Haha, doing the scales alone took almost as long as the entire figure beforehand did! Thank you kindly :) <3

Beautiful.

Thank you :)

Absolutely gorgeous! Mew-tiful work! You have a new Watcher! :D

Hehe, thank you kindly <333

Gorgeous

Thank you :)

Oh my she looks so sexy

Hehe, thanks!

Oh my 0_o that is quite the looking she has there rarely do I like to express a direct opinion, other than stating the aspects, but Hot Damn! You not cutting corners is the singe best thing you could have done (and did) to make her look as good as she does. Please in the future when drawing reptilians do the same for high end commissions such as this.

Heh, thank you <3 I usually feel pressured for time, is the problem - I don't get paid by the hour, but rather estimate how long something might take me, and doing scales for not even a full-body image took me an extra 6 hours XD It wasn't a problem doing it for Vangarthia, because he's always been a generous and consistent client, but a lot of people don't like paying over $100 for a picture, let alone +$150 just for scalework :( That's why I'm always sorta trying to find ways to do shortcuts >_>

All the same even in paying generously it was all worth it, as the image itself had me doing a doubletake at all the details besides the scales, but that lace too. Ok it is by the hour well still awesome, even if fine detail like this image will only be done on rare occasion.

As much as the idea of breasts on a dragon doesn't strike me logically, and the structure of their hips/genitals obviates the purpose of a bikini, this image is most certainly pleasant to admire and... contemplate.

Heh, as a biology graduate, I understand the problems you're referring to with the kind of sexual anthropomorphizing that tends to be done to non-mammalian species... but as an artist and fantasy buff, some part of me is just like, "Meh! I think I'm okay with it :V" - anyway, haha, glad you get something out of it, at least! Thanks ;)

You should do some dragon booty!

lol, random :V And, yeah probably?

o_O -double, triple, quadruple takes- O_O wow...

^^; <3

o___o *marks you down for a commission in the future to draw his OC's girlfriend* o_O she is a dragon as well >.>....

She looks fantastic :)

Thanks a lot :)

Is there a such thing as too much beauty? I think we are pretty close to finding it here in the gorgeous scales above. what does a commission like this typically go for if I may ask?

Thank you so much, I'm very flattered <3

I can either charge by the hour ($25/hr), or by estimate if you just want a flat price - these usually take around 8 hours ($200), although this one took longer >_>

A little on the high side considering how much I normally pay for commissioned art, however, I normally work with undiscovered talent and in this gallery quality speaks for itself! Are you open for commissions all the time or do you advertise them in journals or on a patreon or something? I'm all paid out for this month but in the future I may be very interested in commissioning a piece of art like this through you. It's brilliant in its execution

Thank you again, it's appreciated :) I'm normally closed to commissions, as the work I do for the Endless Realms game keeps me quite busy. I do announce commission openings in my journal, however!

Sounds good...I won't be annoying and pestering but I will be watching :)

I realize BOTH that it's a 5 year old comment, AND that your commission journal hasn't been updated for three years. But...still cannot blame a fan for trying. Any chance a commission slot in similar motif to this might be available soon? Times might have changed a little, but the beauty I see in this piece, and how much I would like to have one of my own; hasn't waned. Reply at your leisure, even if you say that you are not available; I will understand and take the news in stride.

Hey there! Aww, thanks so much for your continued support <3 Honestly, the best way to get a hold of me for commissions is to send me a PM to see if I have any spare time for side projects (I don't currently right now, but check in a month or two maybe?)

so beautiful ✨

Thank you kindly <3
