Artistic Input

I did notice that the arms are not proportionally correct, and they do need to be folded a bit differently. Since this is basically a concept sketch I wasn't going for too much detail or accuracy on the characters - I basically just wanted to get the character's stances right and fill in everything that might be in the scene.

When I pencil in the finished version I plan to make sure that all of these flaws are removed, but at this point I am just trying to feel out what everyone thinks this scene should hold. I just don't want to spend too much time drawing something that I will redraw in the end.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, it gives me a head start on thinking about the arrangement for the final piece.

Except for a bit of work to get Eadric exactly right, this should be the final sketch.

Eadric does look more demonic than T. Perhaps his face is too narrow? Kind of reminds me of a bearded Severus Snape.

That looks much better. I can't wait to see how it looks once he's done.

I have to admit I am pretty awed by the amount of material you have developed for your world. Great job. Glad I am finally reading this story from beginning to end.

The new images look great!

On a background note, you might consider adding some andirons and firewood, with perhaps a small rug under the table (although we'll lose some of the nice stonework then...).

Threxu's clothing is trimmed in withering twigs to
reflect her nature. Her hair reflects this to a lesser
degree; it's messier towards the back, but it's fairly
subliminal.

Crosod is quite a distance back from the camera. I
wanted to draw him carrying Threxu at first, but the
scale was too disparate to do both of them justice.
Through obfuscation and lighting angle I imply that
he's quite a ways back from the light source
(somewhere around Threxu's heart). His membranes,
integral to a black dragon, are somewhat more ethereal
to reflect his templated nature, and his horns and
spines have been unified somewhat into a darker, more
sensible motif than the standard black.

Hopefully, you enjoy. I've tried to make this one as
cool as possible, as it includes two things I'm rather
keen on. That being dragons and... detail. Ahem.

The painting came out well! I particularly like the withered tree half-visible behind Crosod's wing.

What's next for our intrepid illustration-commisioning leader? If I had (a lot of) money, I would like to see a grand paiting of the battle at the necropolis of Khu - rather like those huge paitings you see of various American Colonial battles... but with more demons and summoned creatures.

Here's the version I would consider "final"- it has sky. Nice, isn't it?
[edit1] shrunk down to the "small" version[/edit1]
[edit2]doesn't look like it helped much. [/edit2]
[edit3]I'm going to try to repost it.[/edit3]
