Selection for Sunday June 9th 2013.

Artist name -  Sprout_the_Drakeling Link to the image - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10800332/

Image type and characters - Type A digital color maw shot of a dragon with Sprout riding the tongue.

Why this image was chosen - The color and detailing in this picture is astounding, quite realistic looking and definitely deserves to be featured. To start with I'm very impressed with the way the shading and highlighting has been done. The further back into the mouth you look the darker it gets and the folds of flesh around the corners of the mouth are amazing. I like the way that Sprout has been depicted in this image, poking around on the back of the tongue while pushing his head into the side of the mouth interior.

The tongue is another very well done part of this image, not just because of the drool but because of the shaping and highlighting. The colors themselves are excellent but look at the way the light blue and white shines have been added, its almost like a photograph. The teeth are very good, so is the scale highlighting in the upper right of the image, the whole effort in this picture is worth a good look! Sprout has done some pretty good stuff in their gallery before this but here we have something that in my opinion is one of the best efforts put together in their gallery.

I'm adding this image to the hall of fame for its detailing,color and realism... very nicely done Sprout.
