ow, yuo've made some real progress on this kira. ^^ the only thing i can suggest is adding some darker shading to the dragon. you have some great shading as it is, but nothing to represent and dark recesses light might not reach. right now he kinda looks luminescent. other than that it's a incredible piece of art i can't really suggest another alteration for at this point. ^^;

lol, well actually part of that is just cause my phone frigs up the red. XD although if you think I should, I shall add some more shadows to him.
:3 and thanks aton buddy!

zelgodis-graywords ~zelgodis-graywords

well, if it's a phone thing, considering his size the small detail might be best. i'd have to see it in full to advise at this point. ^^: i'd hate for you to ruin your subtlety. ^^;

kira_animerawr ~kiraanimerawr

OP

Traditional Artist

lol.. actually... this is on about.. 19x10 paper(at an estimate.. Idk for sure) xD

zelgodis-graywords ~zelgodis-graywords

Traditional Artist

well by size, i mean the size you imposed on the dragon in your artwork. if you have such a large creature in such a large place, it would make sense for some of those shadows to be quite diminutive. so i didn't want to push for more prominent lines unless the light cast over the crevice would deem a larger shadow. ^^

i hope that makes more sense. ^^;

kira_animerawr ~kiraanimerawr

OP

Traditional Artist

hm.. well with markers it's hard to get that much detail.. so in part of my finnishing touches, I think I'll add some colored pencil shading. :D

zelgodis-graywords ~zelgodis-graywords

ooooo, i like that idea. ^^

kira_animerawr ~kiraanimerawr

OP

Traditional Artist

xD my scanner isn't that big.. lol. the paper was 12"x18"

zelgodis-graywords ~zelgodis-graywords

Traditional Artist

could you scan it in quarters and photoshop 4 quarters into alignment?

kira_animerawr ~kiraanimerawr

OP

Traditional Artist

15 years ago

I don't have photoshop, XD and I honestly don't need it. I do all my aligning on MS Paint.
lol.. and scanning it in sections usually makes them come out in different shades. Dx

zelgodis-graywords ~zelgodis-graywords

Traditional Artist

okay, point maid. ^^; well what about a kinkos or ups store? do they have scanners that could do it for you?

kira_animerawr ~kiraanimerawr

OP

Traditional Artist

hm.. never thought about that.. they might. Or I might be able to find out if my engineering teacher or art teacher has one, and they can put it on a thumb drive for me. xD yeah, my cell phone quality isn't so good.. as you can see from my final picture of it.
I woulda really liked having a nice scan of it! :3

zelgodis-graywords ~zelgodis-graywords

I really like the piece kira! so, how many more layers do you think this will have?

kira_animerawr ~kiraanimerawr

OP

Traditional Artist

15 years ago

well.. I have just alittle more details and shadows.. then I do highlights with my gel pens.
And maybe something eles, depending on how it looks after that. :3
