Whoooooa. This is a really nice picture. So much graphic depth and I love the colours too.

Thanks, glad you dig it! :3

Simply stunning. Incredible work.

very nice work

Damn crazy what you do, dasAoD. Excellent detail and scales effect. Wow. ;)

Ow. Ow! OW! My poor, overwhelmed faculties!!

I think at this point, it would be repetitive of me to just on and on and ON about you and your fabulous textures, but dammit, just LOOK at those things! I can ogle those things one after the other in the same way that I can ogle a pair of titties over and over again.

It also wins points for being so positively adorable... even though I think I still wouldn't want to run into one of those things in the middle of the forest. I mean, hey, those compsognathus in Jurassic Park II looked cute at first. :)

Also, question: The background... is that a photo that was glossed over, or did you do that yourself?

>"I can ogle those things one after the other in the same way that I can ogle a pair of titties over and over again."

Oh my, such high praise... XD


>The background... is that a photo that was glossed over, or did you do that yourself?

Well actually, I wasn't even using a reference, but I'll take that as compliment. XD

As always, your feedback is appreciated - Glad you enjoyed the pic!

Man, I sure hope I can someday turn out something like that in 10 hours work. Something like that would take me a few weeks...

Well, I did it over the course of a few days, a few hours at a time.

Other than that, it's mostly practice practice practice etc. ... :P

This picture made love to my eyeballs. ~83

I really like the lines you textured the bark with, and the different scale shapes. OH SHIT I just noticed the green filtered sunlight in the shadows of the leaves! That's incredible.

Ooh, wet sticky eyeball love - What's not to like... ?

... On a second thought, eyeball love doesn't really sound that great to me. D:

Glad you enjoyed the pic! :D

omygod so pretty :) needs snugs

Wow... that is amazing. Very well done!

Thanks!

Awwwww!! He's Checking Out The Pretty Pink Butterfly!!

"Is you has a flavour?" :3

Probably. Not necessarily a good one either.

O.O *blinks twice*....wow......just wow......

woooooow, spectacular piece of art there - definately favourited!!!

Very nice. It looks so real.

Truly a wonderful work of art! Amazing. I love the selective focus created by the blurred background and perspective. Your choice of colors (especially the flower and dragon) just make this work pop.

Thanks! Took some tweaking, but in the end I'm fairly satisfied with the colours.

Wow. That's insanely awesomely detailed.

WOW, there isn't much i can really say but wow, this is like the god, like the Michelangelo of furry art, wait like the Mona Lisa of furry art it's so amazing and detailed great job *bows before the god*

Beautifully done. I thought for a brief moment that I was looking at a photo of a sculpture.

Oh shh~... you caught me.

10hrs!? I'm amazed. :O I could never do that detail in 10yrs, let alone 10hrs!

*smacks you* "YES! YOU CAN!" D:

I sometimes feel the same way, when I see people pull off this sort of thing in one or two hours, and without any lineart for guidance... But really, it all comes down to experience. The more you learn about the practical and theoretical aspects of art, the faster and more efficient you'll be able to work. For most artists, me included, around 80% of the time spent on a picture is wasted due to insecurity about how exactly something should look and/or how to achieve the desired results most efficiently.

Heh, yeah. I do need a fair bit of practise though, realism isn't entirely one of my strong points ^^;

beautiful!

I absolutely love the colors here, and how he actually blends in with the tree slightly, despite being blue.

Thanks! Yeah, I try to pay attention to things like colour balance, reflected light and the like, at least when I'm going for realism.

0.=.o


...Ah. So this is why I watched you.



... ^.=.^ I made a good decision for once!

This is to good for me to describe the general awsomeness of the pic

What a cute dragon. Great work.

beyond... just beyond everything! Too awesome!

Dude, that's...that's really fucking good man. So realistic. Everyone above me said what needed to be said. This is excellent work.

That? That's good. That's very good! Wow! (There was a double take in there somewhere too) ;)

Linked from FAN...and wow...well deserved for the award, MY GAWD THIS IS AWESOME!!

Heh... Glad you ( and Cthulhu ) approve. :D

Everyone thinks that just cause he's an eldar god he wants to destroy and enslave everything...only partially true, he also enjoys good art, a nice tea and sunsets on the beach....of a recently conquered land >.>

Cthulhu - Destroying the world in style.

The ever so cute and lovable elder god hugging you for a little taste of the brains he will consume later

... I'd like to say I feel honoured, but I figure whatever sanity I have left would be gone at that point. *drools and flails arms* :P

you HAD sanity?! My GOD i got the short end of THAT stick!! Stupid fast talking sales people >.>

I -love- this deviation, but I'm a little confused about the part sticking out from his right cheek?

I see it now!!!!!

Reminds me of a Pernese firelizard. :)
