Well, I wanted to do something different again, so I decided to check out the so called 'brush pixel', So, I basicly did the outline with a 1 pix black pencil, and coloured it in with a solid colour..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I began to brush some highlights with a bit lighter and slightly purple colour..

 

 

 

Added a bit of texture..

 

 

 

Then I did the shadowing plus dark texture..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The horns look not too good right now, Ill do something with that :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I dunno if im gonna keep it this way, or add a whole dragon..

Any comments, or constructive critisism on it?

Thats really nice, do a whole dragon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jim.

Really nice but loose the black outline, makes it looks pixelish!

the black outline really doesnt suit it, i think the idea of brushing is to do all the outlines in pixel then only using brushes for colouring

I'm not sure what it is, but i don't like it

 

 

 

Maybe if you did the whole dragon then i would, which you should...To please me :D

Guys guys, dont worry about the outline.. Its a work in progress.. Its not finished.. The outline will be replaced.. I know the outline looks bad :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

operationfl, well, its a dragon head..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*edit*

 

 

 

For you guys, here it is with a better outline :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's really ace but you need to define the eyes and teeth more.

Thanks :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Theres what i have so far ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, and more contrast is coming soon :P

Ok, I got a neat idea, so I implemented it :P

 

 

 

He's gonna have like half skulls kindof melted in him, I thought it would be a nice add on :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*see top post for the update*

dude that is nice!!! i think it looks good how it is but you should make the full dragon with his tail whippin around and stuff! thatd be awesome!

Thanks :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Im almost to the part where I will add the rest of his body, but right now, I wanna fiddle around with this part a bit longer ;)

Added latest, going to sleep now :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The hind legs dont look too good, theyre a bit chubby right now, will fix it up when I come to shading that part..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any more comments on it so far?

Doesn't look in the right proportions.. The back has gone down to far, good job on the scale effect though that looks ace.

I like the texturing and shading you've done throughout the body, specially the head and front legs. The texturing looks realistic and the contrast between dark and light is done well. The shape of the dragon is a bit odd to me but I don't think perfecting it was your main goal. I recommend next time drawing the entire outline first, then coloring and shading later.

the jaw seems to small someway and the neck to long or to short.. its spine is going down a bit to much but like misterxman said its probly not your main goal, the coloring and texturing is awsome beats anything i could do

Yeah, I wasnt too sure about his back, so Ill probably edit it..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for the comments everyone :)

 

 

 

operationfl, well, its a dragon head

 

 

 

Heh, i meant i didn't know what it was about the head that i didn't like

Ah, like that, Doh >.< I misread what you said I guess :oops:

front looks nice, but hes bottom half looks totally unrealistic m8, cant put a finger on why, hes bone structure just looks screwed :(
