amazing :D Love the cold atmosphere. Soo do you do lines before or after or during painting?

Thank you! My lineart is just the sketch, but refined a bit more while I paint. Below is the original sketch, if that helps at all. :D

it does actually haha. Thanks!

terrific job with this one... I absolutely love the snow effects. looks bitter cold

Thanks very much! I love snowwww. ;3; I'm disappointed it didn't really snow this year in my area.

It's alright, it didn't snow much here either this year. Instead, we get freezing rain. Gotta love sliding my way between bus stops.

Haha, oh man... ice is pretty dangerous if you're not ready for it. XD

no amount of readiness will save me when I carry around an art portfolio and paint toolbox

Oh God, you poor thing. D:

My only saving grace during winter is that I very rarely needed to bring anything more than a computer. Graphic Design is easy on the back. ;3;

I can't even begin to like...jesus... I wish I could just watch your brain when you do these kinds of things. This is fantastic in every way! Only 3-4 hours? criminy!

Awww, thank you so much! ;3;

I didn't record allll of it, but the majority is on my livestream account (http://livestream.com/centradragon). C:

Going to go through your logs and watch all of these... I wish livestream let me favorite so I could know when you stream! I always miss them since I don't come to FA or Tumblr too much

This came out so nicely! I love the final product :D

Heee, thanks bb! :D

I adore your art. Your style is just so unique and interesting. Keep up the great work!

I'll try my best! Thank you! ;3;

what a beautiful atmosphere. ;w; so lovely.

Thank you bb! ;3; /heeee

Absolutely beautiful.

Thanks! ;u;

Just so friggin awesome.

Haha, thank you! C:

EXCELLLLLLENT JOB!

THANKS MANGGGG. <333

The style, colors and emotional impact is so much Yes.

Thank you, bb. C:

man you're such an amazing artist, this has so much feeling to it ;u;

Hee, thank you! ;w;

Absolutely gorgeous work.

Thanks! :D

I wish winter looked like that for me this year :C (guess lasts year's was enough for two years sigh). I love the purple colors against all the muted tones, very pretty!

Thank you!

I must say, I've never experienced a winter quite this... wintery. Never lived north of Virginia, though — maybe that has something to do with it. XD

lol So you stole the northern state's winter! Your welcome :3

Thank youuu~ C:

I love your art so much. ;__;

I CAN'T SAY IT ENOUGH I'M SORRY.

Lol, thank you! I APPRECIATE ALL THE COMPLIMENTS. ;3;

Good, CAUSE YOU WILL RECIEVE ALL OF THEM. <33

gimmie your skill.
NOW

LOL~

Caution: side-effects may include being totally OCD and falling in love with rocks.

I saw the sketch for this in tumblr and I thought it would look amazing when finished. I was right. Composition is very well done, and the snow looks wonderful. The fact that you choose to work with blue hues makes the overall picture more cold, enhacing the feeling the snow gives.

Well, thank you very much! Usually I go for explosive rainbow time, but I think at the top of a mountain it'd be much more subdued than that. XD

Maybe Mt. Lisa Frank would be a bit different though.

okay now this is pretty friggin awesome :)

haha, thank you! <3

you iz welcome

mind blown

:0 <3 Thank you~

composition=amazing :O

Thanks very much, bb! ;3;

Oh man, this is great.

Thanks, man~

gosh thats awesome dude ♥

Thank you! c:

ENVY!

I love the look of Speed painting. I wish I understood the mechanics more (I've heard there's an approach to it)

Ahh, thank you! ;3;

I'm not sure if there's a legit/tried-and-true method to speedpainting, but I've found getting the composition and most of the sketch done in the first part helps a lot. Doing [what you anticipate being] the hardest part first is also pretty helpful (since from then on it's an easy bikeride downhill), although I do need to follow my own advice more often. XD

+3 favs for mountain goat.

Haha! Awwww yeah! I do love goats a whole bunch.

I just love how you did the snow and the clouds. So gorgeously atmospheric.

The mountain goat is awesome too. <333

Thanks, man! There can never be too many mountain goats up where it snows.

OMG this came out SO AMAZING! You did so well filling the negative space with flurries. It definitely feels like you're right there in the middle of an icey blizzard, toiling over a rocky and trecherous terrain, never knowing which step might send you tumbling down a ravine. Yashe looks so comfortable and her yakbeast goat thing looks to be a great navigator of just a terrain! Thank you so much for this. I can't tell you how happy I am with it :>

Also I want to note that the ay she is positioned on the animal makes so much sense since, from the looks of the rocky terrain, there would be a lot of jumping. She could easily brace her claves against the panniers/saddle bags and lift up from the back of the animal to prevent painful impacts xD Though he looks fluffy enough that might not be a concern x3

Could I post this in my gallery with, ofc, credits to you? ;D

Soooo so glad you like it bb! For awhile I was like HOW CAN I MAKE THIS WORK FABULOUSLY but I'm glad you mentioned having a pack animal with her — after looking up mountain goats and other furry bovines I was super-inspired. :B

Haha, it does seem more comfortable! I figure if she has long legs (which she does) it'd prevent any dragging/injuries without needing to put on stirrups. And would definitely would help with impacts, like you said~



Of course! You're more than welcome to post it to your gallery. C:

How the **** do you do that in 3-4 hours??? Guuuh

Just stunning. As others have said, the composition works wonderfully, and I love the snow effects. The detail you put into the figures blows my mind, and that's before I take into consideration how long it took you XD You have the most incredible skills.

centra, what kind of god did you fight to obtain such great powers to paint all of this? because this looks great! ^_^

To say that you have created a visceral sense of environment would be an understatement! }:=)

This is absolutely incredible I love the snow
Someone must have snuck some extra helpings of talent

Mind blowing work!...

Lovely setting and design. :)

amazing o.o

Wow, that looks incredible!

I it it's beautiful

Jeebus. That snow is perfect. The shading is perfect.

I miss winter so bad right now. ;_;

It's so awesome!
