[QUOTE="brak1, post: 563929, member: 5390"] Hey all. Wanted to make sure I commented on everyone and didn’t just throw something into the pot without some other contribution. Liquide: Like your style, man. I get the sense that there’s more detail to the drawings than what we’re seeing. I’m particularly fond of the one you posted on the 28th – even if it isn’t a full figure drawing I feel like I get a better sense of the ferocity, the toughness and the sheer power a beast like that should project. If I have any problems at all, they’re with the wings- I understand completely where you’re going with them, and yet aesthetically they don’t please me. I’m not sure if it’s the sheer amount of skin or what, but something about the wings being attached along the length of the body seems awkward (not awkwardly done, but it seems that these dragons might be ungainly in the air). Malessa: Your posts kind of got me back into drawing again, so I’m glad to see more of them! I remember the first dragon you posted and I’ve always liked it. I happen to like some of the oriental representations of dragons and this one seems like a cross between western and eastern types. I imagine it to have bristly feathers instead of scales. The second one also has hints of eastern influence – maybe it’s just the horns. Very nice start to this drawing, great sense of power in the chest and shoulder area. Like the way the back leg conveys a sense of motion, just swinging back and forth with the beat of the wings – although I find myself wondering where the other hind leg is… WolvOrine: I do like the asian dragons myself! A more feral and softer look, yes, but I think it’s a little easier to instill them with a sense of intelligence, or at least a more warm intelligence. Western dragons always seem cold and aloof to me. Aldymnor: What I like best about this picture is the sense of weight the dragon has. The neck is a little thinner than might be healthy for a head that size, but overall the impression is of mass and solidity. I think it’s been close to 10 years since I last drew a dragon. Think I’ll try tonight, though! Thanks for the inspiration, folks. [/QUOTE]
