Wow! I love the amazing detail!

I'm puzzled. What part of this do you feel looks like shit? The sky is phenomenal, the rock surfaces aren't bad, and the dragons seem very nice to me. The one thing that looks as if it could do with improving, IMHO, is the ocean.

The water is a big thing, yes. I guess it's something I need a lot of practice on. Otherwise, a lot of little bits and pieces. Angles being off, shading looking generally wrong, for the most part.
*bitch, moan, ect.*

Thank you though :>

Okay. JUst one thing:

Admit it. The sky kicks ass.

You know... it might not meet YOUR standards, but I think it's really phenomenal. The way you rendered the water is particularly captivating, I think. Very nice work!!

I probably shouldn't be so cynical ><
Thanks muchly. Glad you think it looks good.

The two dragons may be being boring at the moment but LOOKIT THOSE CLOUDS! ^_^ God I love the job you did on them :D I'm a total sucker for clouds, haha.

Thank you. I'm glad you like them!
I have something for you too :P Will note you with it when it's done...

*Blinks* You do? :O Oooh, thanks ^_^ You could just poke me over MSN too though :)

I do not see how you can't like this.. it is absolutely amazing... these are two incredibly gorgeous black dragons, and just.. the detail is striking. I love the detail on the dragons, the scales, the well done lighting.. and the background is just incredible. The landscape is gorgeous, I love how they are perched on the cliff edge like that, overlooking the water. The water is so beautiful and the sky is so gorgeous... like a summer sunset... I love it! <3

Yay! Thank you very much.
I'm just... overly critical of my own stuff I guess :P

Hmm, the dragons have different wing/claws?

Neither the faces, neck spikes nor the 'ears' are the same, so I'm not sure why you expect the wings to be o__O

I actually really like the way the water looks. I c'n see how you'd think it'd need some work, but I really dig the dancing lines all over - it makes it feel alive. I also really do love the landscape in general - the rock formations are all fantasmic and all the little plant-growths are great! I especially love the roots stretchin' all over.

I implore these dragons to reconsider their state of boredom. There are too many well-drawn muscles on themselves to admire to be bored. Unless...they are wistfully praying for a fetus-dispensing doorbell to appear. In this case, they are allowed to appear bored in their waiting.

Thanks. The water was frustrating to work on since I couldn't figure out what looked wrong with it. Is also quite large, about 35 x 45 cm, and having it shrunk down big enough to look at on a computer screen actually really helps with identifying what looks wrong with the water. I may go back and fix it up if I can be bothered.
I'm happy you like the way it looks though :P

Their state of boredom could have many causes. Maybe they're city people, and just can't find appreciation for the nature around them. Then again, they could very well be waiting hopefully for such a doorbell to appear and relieve them of their boredom.

I really don't know what you consider wrong in this image, Zarathus: for me, it's an awesome piece, well detailed, the musculature looks right to me, the Dragons are supple...
Okay, a true artist never stops learning, but it's true for every artists. You really don't have to put down artwork like that.

You're probably right. I guess overall it doesn't look too bad as a picture. I'm just bothered by the amount of flaws throughout almost every detail. I guess that can be expected when trying to fix up old pictures though. If I totally re-drew this picture now, I know it'd be a lot better.
But uh. I feel I spend too much time complaining about my own art. So.. thank you :P And I'm happy you think it looks good.

It'll never sell, Zarathai? I mean honestly, who would pay monies for dragons? And they're not even yiffing, don't you know that is required? Liek OMG!

Shit, you should have reminded me. I'll probably have difficulty even giving away this trash D: !!

You would! But because I'm a friend, I'll take it off your hands if you give me ten dollars

You're so kind.

They're being boring but the picture's fuckin' rad. How much are you going to sell it for?

Why thank you :D
Dunno yet. However much I can get for it I suppose >< Lol

Needs more cowbell.

I concur!

Oh. OKAY

I like, I might even buy it, if i have money. WOOT UMEPLOYED!!

Joys of unemployment.

And thanks, glad you like :D

i dunno why o.o it looks to me like the top dragon is sliding off the ledge o.o otherwise, quite a good picture.

Nothing more than: A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

How can you say that this piece is not good! You did a really awesome work with this piece, I love the sky and the textures! The mood is really nice as well (not boring but peaceful, in my opinion)

Thank you :>

Mostly the details didn't come out how I'd indended, but a lot of the picture was inked in 2005, so I couldn't really fix up all of it.
Glad you like it.

Hahahahaha you stick so much to details.

OK that was infamous...

But hey, it still a really really stunning piece of art, I can't find anything wrong with it at all

That's some intensely insane attention to detail! This is very beautiful, amazing colours, a stunning piece that could easily be an illustration to a novel.

Wow, thank you! Details were kinda frustrating, so I'm glad you like.

It's a great picture, hope you find a home for it

I really enjoy the muted, atmospheric tones...

Thanks.
Painting with watercolors on a brown board does mostly rule out vibrant colors :P But I like muted tones.

Dragons can't be scorching the world, capturing princesses, building hoards of treasure, and eating people all the time. A pause to rest is a nice change of pace really from most dragons I see around FA. Nice work.

Hmm, this is true :O
Thank you! Glad you like.

I love your art so much :) It's always a pleasure for the eyes and heart to see your pics. I absolutely love your low saturated gloomy colors on this one and the details on background and the two dragons.
Meh thinks you god of art of me :)

Wow, thank you very much Rhnn :> Your own art is amazing, it means a lot hearing this from you.

A nice panorama with the black dragons, and thumb's up on the water reflection from the sky and stones :D very good. What i think what you can put it in the pic... Broken waves on the stone :D but the reflections do it to, well done.

Thanks. Yes, that had been my original intention, but I found the water exceedingly difficult to do :| Need much more water practice.

Well than go swimming

It's true that artist's are their own worst critics. I honestly like the piece, even though there are a few things that set it apart from your other works. The biggest thing that sticks out to me is the harsh contrast in the angles of the dragon's heads. They are perpendicular to one another, which really breaks the flow of the eye. However, this does make me stare at the picture longer, trying to take it all in instead of letting my eye graze over it, so it could be a plus as well. *chuckles*

Hmm, you make an interesting point. Totally not something that would have occured to me without you pointing it out :O
Thank you!

Slow Cit is slow with commentiiiiing.
Bweee tis so pretty, all the details are so great how you did them as always <3

Yay, thank you! ^_^

Very wow

Great work! ^^ it's very detailed, and i like the coloring and scene =3
