Cell Shaded Bust Commission (via FaceBook-exclusive opening) for
Shadow-Wolf-Legend of a very angry Mifupa, the Dutch Angel Dragon!
Mifupa here has been disturbed, and he is not happy about it... I was asked to have him looking aggressive, with an Abyss-themed background, and this kind of derelict, strained pose and expression immediately came to my mind. I wanted to capture a look of Mifupa nearing the Abyss, being drawn to it, then him being alerted to a presence behind him - perhaps a friend calling him back to the Aether. The question, though, is whether Abyss Mifupa will respond, or attack...
(Also, definitely one of the Busts I am most proud of to date. I tried a radically different approach with my extra layers of shading, using a combination of smoothing and chipping away at them with hard brushes to get the kind of silhouetted effect with both soft fades and sharp edges on the details illuminated by the fire. And I am SO happy with the iridescent look on the feathers! I wanted them to look shiny and oily, and I feel like I could reach out and stroke the scapulars...even though Mifupa would probably rather bite my hand off, lol.)

When I saw that you messaged me I was very excited to see how Mifupa turned out. Though once I saw this I was literally at a loss for words, I still am actually. You captured how I imagine her to look feral as well as her personality so well. I want to say more but I am currently stuck in awe at how majestic, and terrifying she looks at the same time.
(And I too would love to touch her feathers but she would probably snap at anyone's hand that got too close. XD)

Man your right. The combination you did is incredible. The way how each group of feathers are presented and stand out shows that each one as a particular function of the dragon's anatomy. It's very, very ingenious. And I don't know if this is right but the head design like the ears give him an almost bat like appearance. Very cool.
And the shading and coloring is very well done as well. That and the background give a serious of dread and strength of what the character is feeling. Absolutely astounding.
