Well, this was a comissioned pic for my step-brother Adi and his doughter ( hope you like it ). The picture depicts the two main chars of my story: Jon ( Jonaleth Fainhaart de Silvonydaar ) and his dragon Draghi ( note, "Draghi" is the dragon's name, and just so you know, the name DOSE NOT derive from the word "dragon" ). This scene happenes relativelly early in the story, whille Jon is still beying taken care of by his adoptive human parents. It's the last year that he will spend in the quiet mountain village were he spent his first 18 years of life. Shortly after this, the dreadfull human forcess of the empire of Leonar will invade the northlands and reak havoc on their inhabitants. Jon's adoptive human parents will be captured and killed right in front of him. Jon however manages to escape fleying with a band of escapees to the high medows. He will re-find his little dragon ( wich had remained hidden in their house; and wich is only age 5 at this time ) on the way to the medows. Ther, Jon will meet a special character wich will tell him about his true identity ( as last decendent of an important elven family ) and sets him off to his real homland and his real people. However, his real home will prove to be quite inhospitable and so will it's inhabitants.

On a techincal level, I am very unhappy with all the shadows in the pic. They are all wrong. Just goes to proove how little I know about shadow placement.

Wow. I love the different shades throughout, the textures, and the expressions you gave the characters. Wonderful piece! The composition is just amazing. And it seems like every time I look at it I find another amazing detail I didn't see before! :heart:
:iconajder:
thanks... though initially, I had planned to have even more detaills in it... anyways, thanks for stoping by...
:iconcristle-drake:
Oh, it turned out really great! The contrast in the shadows look so much better, and my favourite part is the dragon's wings, they are so well visualized and drawn. I'm sure the owner of this piece will be very pleased!

thanks... well, at least he will be so openly... politness demands that... what he will troully think of it is probably going to remain his secret... he did not exactly asked for a pic with a dragon in it... he just sed that I should draw him something... and that's exactly what I did... and as I sidenote, I did join one of the clubs... but so far it brought me absolutelly nothing... how long werte you in the club B4 you got so many comments?
:iconzaply:
Cred ca singura umbra care nu merge e cea a lui Jon, in comparatie cu celelalte, care par a fi mai multe... Dar nu se baga de seama! ce ma deranjeaza pe mine e faptul k Jon pare batran... in nici un caz de 18 ani =P In rest e super, imi place ca pui accent pe detalii!:)

visit my club *DeseneRo, it'll be worth your time
:iconajder:
a da... prbolema cu aspectul... ai dreptate cind spui ca nu pare de 18 ani... dar asta se datoreaza doar lipsei mele de experiente in desen... singurul leac pentru asta este timpul combinat cu exercitiul presupun...
:iconwildrainoficeandfire:
mi se pare super. atat detaliu, cred ca ai muncit mult la ea. bravo, e foarte reusita.

i'm not sure. i don't see anything wrong with the shadows like you said. i think it would have been nice if the lower hand was a little darker to make a more definate difference between it and the baby, but still, it looks very nice.

i loooooove the way you did the baby's wings. one of the biggest problems with drawing dragons that i have is drawing their wings. really, you got that perfectly:clap:
:iconajder:
well, the shadows are wrong because, if you look closelly, it looks like that there are TWO (2 ) light sources, the shadows do not folow one single direction, that's why they are scrwed.

ANyways, thanks for stoping by...
