 Deathwingby *AlexHorleyComments Thanks for the nice words about the painting!
I understand your suggestions and very much appreciated, I don't make an excuse of lacking of something because my work is traditional, it should "work" no matter what medium i use. I usually tweak most of the paintings digitally anyway, to "optimize" them for whatever the use. I was asked to convey a "somber and quiet" moment/mood, so I deliberately restrained my palette, which is usually pretty "noisy". Also I thought the grey tones would make pop even better the magma-blood streams... I appreciate the advice a lot and hope to hear from you again soon. Thanks again, Alex |
But that's not so strange if you make stuff for Blizzard of course.
The overall composition is great, it all adds up quite well.
The only thing i can mention is that the colors are a bit too greytone-ish. I love the magma and the whole design and the contrasting blue of the dragon, but some parts could have just a tiny little bit of a stronger highlight. Although that may be my taste though.
Of course this is a bit harder with real paintings compared to digital drawings, but i had to make atleast some point of critique in a crituque like this, right?
Anyway, keep up the awesome work!
