WOW

stunning! I love the P.O.V!

Thank you! c:

curious on how much a pic of this quality usually is?

Haha, no idea actually! This is somewhere between a sketch+BG ($18) and something... more? LOL. The main difference is I don't usually shade a sketch which is what took a lot of the extra time.

If I had to take a guess, maybe $30 for a relatively simple color scheme? Dunno. |D


http://centradragon.deviantart.com/.....y/#Commissions <--- most of these are sketches I've done for other people, so this should give a clearer idea than me blabbering on. c:

Pretty damned cool, you must really love how it turned out o_o

Thanks! It *did* turn out better than I thought it would, but it also ended up taking more time. ;)

Practice makes perfect, but practice takes time

Haha, for sure! ;)

The judgement bells are ringing for that one x3

Haha! For sure... it's rather ominous. XD

This is gorgeous. It's very much like a scene from one of my stories (which I have yet to write but has been looping in my head for years), but enough about me.

I like the perspective and the colors, you have a nice way of coloring. Everything looks like it fits together nicely, as opposed to having a character chunked into a background.
I feel like the ground should look muddier, though, since it's raining (but you're finished anyways X3)
The hanging figures are very ominous. I like the atmosphere they add.

Thank you very much! c: The perspective was much more fun than the front-on approach I was originally gonna do.

You bring up a great point, but since it's a sketch commission (or was originally intended to be one) I didn't put as much work into it as I would a regular CG. XD Definitely will keep it in mind for next time, though!

;) Let's pretend it just started raining, or something. lolol

It's a lot more powerful from this point too, one gets the feeling that he's in a purgatory of sorts but not completely powerless.
Haha, well if your sketch commissions always came out like this, I would scrape together some cash and order one XD

OR it's not really rain at all (because the lad's fur doesn't look too wet either X3) but a mere illusion. Woah.
Other than the little details, the rain effect is really quite nice. It's there but not distracting. How do you do it?

I think purgatory was one of the words used to describe this place by the commissioner, so you're spot on. LOL. <3 And thanks, hon! My sketches generally are pretty clean (because I'm so anal, hur hur), but the major difference between this and my usual sketches is I don't shade. xDD

But this wouldn't look right without shading, so I had to do it. :D


And totally—it's an odd-looking place, so it could very well be an illusion. I actually used one of my "snow" brushes for the rain, then used motion blur and another filter to make it curve a bit with the perspective. Then I just lowered the opacity of the white rain so it would show through like regular water would. ;)

(I know, I'm such a cheater in Photoshop. Haha!)

Sweet! I relish in being correct.
Biggest problem for me: clean lines.

Thanks for the tips.

(That's what it's for ;3 )

Very Impressive.

Thank you! c:

I see dead people
awesome art

Thank you! c: Lots of dead people in this one, haha.

You've gotten so good with anthros. You were never bad with them to begin with, but you seem like one of those artists that improves a lot in a short amount of time. Your pictures are always impressive to me.

Thank you so much, hon!

I remember that you were one of my first commissioners (at least if I'm remembering correctly, lolol) and I was pretty new to anthros at the time. It's awesome to know you see improvement... that makes me really happy. ;w;

(Although, something tells me I improved because I draw WAY too much. XD)

I don't think you can draw too much. It's good you draw a lot.

I like the fact he's holding the chains in each hand due to the slack, makes me think about things that he may be thinking and gives more imagination to the image as things start to play in my head

I got from the commissioner's description that he was not one to just accept fate, so I figured having him hold the chains would make him a more powerful/controlling and ominous figure in the drawing. :D (I'm glad you noticed that! Those frickin' chains took forever LOL)

Thanks! :D

Such a wonderful commission !
Very beautiful scene, it's fascinating Centra !

Thank you very much, hon~! :)

Ok..this is the most beautiful work of art I have seen all day..I cannot even describe how much I love this..

Wow, thanks so much for the compliment! ;w;

You're very welcome.

Awesome detail

Thanks, hon. :D Always fun to LS this sort of stuff. <3

hahaha, of course... even tho I have no idea wat everyone was talkin' bout with all that Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy stuff :P

and yes, i know what they are XD

This picture has a very somber air about it--masterfully crafted! =D

The captured dragon looks IMMENSELY cool (yet doesn't seem phased by the situation); I really like his hair and tail. ^^

The perspective was well thought out, Centra! ;3

The dark murky colors and the shadowy hanging bodies do an excellent job of setting up the atmosphere in this picture. Really nice work.

This is brilliant. The idea of this is most astounding. I really enjoy the fact that even though those bodies are not the main focus of the image, they do play a major role and do stand out despite their visibility.

Thank you very much! I had a lot of fun bringing the commissioner's idea to life—SH-eque bodies are always fun, haha. XD

oh vaalkk is that thing for me ? ^,=,^

Wow amazing work o.o
