Artist's Comments

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. :heart:

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

It is very colorful <3 And I dont know much about the contest, but maybe if the colors around the beast were to be brighter, possibly around the wings, it would make it more seeable, I deffiantly clicked on this when I saw it in my watch though. Its very amazing <3

I like this very much! BUT! As you were asking for some critique I will try to do that.
Most of this looks fantastic. The colors, the depth, the wings etc. etc. etc... Also it has a good mystical feeling about it.

But there are few things that bothers me. And please don't take this badly. I am simply saying what I see and feel; The details are mainly good but there is one thing that stands out.
The head is enormous compared to the body, the wings are also huge compared to the rest. and if he has a tale, then I can't see it. Looking at his(the dragons) body position I would say that he doesn't have one. I also feel like his hands are strangely missput but that could simply be me.

Overall I think it is a great work. Easily going into the great category but still not as good as some of your other works, many whose would win most competition you would put them in.

This is simply my opinion I tried to judge from neutral view and I hope that has reached through.


Overall: four stars
----------
Vision: four stars
Originality: four and a half star
Technique: four stars
Impact: three and a half star

It is so good to have you back on track. :D

Although contests tend to be unpredictable in terms of final results, I'm more than sure that your creation is going to rocket up in the ranks!
