Contests / 2009 / Bring Your Vision to Life

Edit: That watermark totally messed up the drawing. So, since it's in the contest rules not to use watermarks I guess I'll leave it without.

I wanted to try something that had not been in my repertoire till now. And I tried to avoid blue as much as possible.
Not really a big success there, I guess. ^^'

But it's definitely colourful. XD

Anyway. Critique always appreciated, does not need to be written with the critique-option to be loved.

Mostly water colour and coloured pencils on paper for mixed media. A bit of markers for the violet. ^^

Can't decide if I should submit it for the "Bring your vision to life"-Contest or not... Had been switching categories for at least 10 min now. <w<'' I guess I'll try.

As with many of your previous pieces, this one displays a perfect level of detail and the effects are impeccable. The transparency of the wings makes the scene more powerful. At first you may look and say "yeah okay it has wings, big deal" but then you look closer and you see small details of the background. The fact that you are able to do that effectively is a great thing of its own.

Another element to this picture that makes it really pop is the dark figure you have positioned on the pillar. If you had not put her on there, the picture would have become monotone, but by placing her all the focus that is placed on the most dominating feature, the dragon, is balanced out.

Overall, its a job well done
