When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
Artist's Comments
"Only the eldest of the great dragons are left now, withdrawn to the nearly airless heights of the mountain spires; in the sub-zero temperatures they use a combination of subtle magnetic-field distortion and arcane energy-manipulation to extend their lives long past their natural span and to, if the word may be used, markedly outlive the rest of their otherwise extinct race.
It is said that the man who can make it to the top of a spire will be blessed with a fraction of the guardians' eternal life; some, more cynical perhaps, have suggested that their death hasn't necessarily relieved them of the pangs of hunger, nor mellowed the dragons' naturally violent temperaments." this week's conceptart.org CoW; feels good to get back into it. Comments great! i like the textures and the size contrast
 maybe the composition is a bit off, but the background works well. Nice atmosphere... or the lack of it, I mean, at such an altitude. I like the bit of background that you provided, it does make my mind think and wonder.
The only thing that I would frown at is the double wing sets - I can't imaging such a creature flying. Yet I can't imagine an undead dragon either, so you can easily discard my frown as irrelevant. Nice job!  KITTIE!
Sick artwork as usual man! I really like the design of the dragons face! Both intimidating an awesome at the same time! -- Happy Penut song, over chocolate covered mountaintops, And waterfalls of caramel, dancing nugaut in the medow, sings a song of satisfaction to the world... (The World....)  gotta love the dragons!
 -- "Art is something to do when you can't get to sleep."  RUN.
Holy shit is that one badass dragon. Although the four wings are a bit irritating, at least when I try to imagine how it's supposed to fly. Yeah, I know, Rule of Cool and everything, it's just it leaped right into my eye. I especially like what you did with the teeth and neck. The tail looks a bit rough as it proceeds, I though the spikes would grow smaller with them approaching the end (like dinosaur tails for example), but the few spikes left don't seen like they've shrunken. I somehow feel like the sorcerer is kind of unnecessary. I guess he's nice for scale and is needed for the concept art to compare the dragon's size, but the dragon is so frikkin badass, I naturally, without a second expect it to be that tall.  -- "Good artists are the crappy artists who never gave up." =frzdragon  "It's... beautiful!"
 -- Burn Witch, BURRRN!!!!   "People draw anime because they are incapeable of drawing anything else."  Awesome man, I should follow cow/chow more, inspirational work.
 OMG! 4 whe-.. wing drive!
-- >w<  I love that the dragon has four wings. Awesome in every single way it could be awesome. Wait, it's beyond awesome.
-- As a Swede, I belive in blonde babes and meatballs. I'm also a proud member of the Pokemon Citrine team. Help my dragons! [link]  You, Sir, are crazy!
  -- You're relaxed. You're sublime. You're amazing. |
