I decided after two unsuccessful tries at a POTM I finally am onto an original idea, which doesn't looks like a bad digi-painting (the guys from the potm know what i mean).

 

 

 

Here's the Wip. This is the first one to go up:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now keep in mind this is a WIP so I'm looking for ways to improve, and things to add.

 

 

 

I go tmy idea. A dragon is curled round some treasure, and in the background is a cave wall with stalagmites and stalactites all around, and maybe an unlit torch, like someone owned this place before the dragon.

Ewwww, JPEG.

Mac, at least comment on something worthwhile.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

JPG!!!! Always save as PNG, even if it's in the WIP stages. I would suggest making the character maybe a little bigger, and shading the column of rock he's standing on.

 

 

 

Keep up the good work, can't wait for the end result!

Ewwww, JPEG.

It's cos I saved in paints local format, bitmap, which converts to jpg when you load to photobucket,. I'll post a new WIP soonish.

Don't save in BMP either. It will dull the quality down just as much.

Ewwww, JPEG.

Well you basically copied his concept for a pixel...

 

 

 

Sorry, but I don't like it at all. Like I said, it's a copy of a signature by Mac_The_Rocker. That concept was great, but now it's just old, unoriginal and not executed too well either. I know you didn't say it was your idea and maybe Mac doesn't mind at all, but come on, just think of something yourself. Seriously.

Draw irl first then scan it.. because it lags perspective severly.

*gasp* Do I see... original mspaint colors?! My eyes, they burn!

 

 

 

Get your own colors,by using edit-> custom colors, and only use the very saturated ones for either the light source or brightly colored fish!

 

 

 

The wings on the dragon need a bit of work.. I suggest looking at bird's(or bat's wings) to see how all them parts fit together.

 

 

 

Scribbling only works if the colors are very similar to each other... otherwise, it looks just like a scribbly mess.

Ewwww, JPEG.

Post in a helpful style, or simply do not post at all. Your posts haven't helped the OP at all.

 

 

 

Anyway, currently it seems the picture is a little 'all over the place'. I think you should focus on detail since I can't really make out the environment currently. Though I'm sure it'll look good in the end. :)

Actually you do see original ms paint colous *gasps again*

 

 

 

I'm deciding to start over, yet again, for the POTM, because Mac, It wasn't fair that I stole your idea and turned it into...well...um....

I have a new idea, it is original this time, and doesn't look like a bad digi-painitng.

 

 

 

I have put it up into the gallery.

 

 

 

here it is again if you've scrolled down :P

 

 

 

Mmk, never save as JPEG or else it will distort your work and it will be un-editable.

 

 

 

It will also diminish the quality of the image, especially in pixel-art.

 

 

 

 

 

Also, high saturation is never a good idea, where the original image was using the original MS paint colors; which are of INSANE saturation (neon colors) which will hurt a viewers eyes and take the focus away. High saturation is only a good idea in moderation when used in the centerpiece of your art.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your new line art is great. My only suggestion would be to align the [bleep]es correctly with the current perspective, but it's only the beginning, so I'll save more crits for later.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lastly...what was the original about? I don't even know what everyone's talking about at this point when they say it was 'my original idea' :?

Ok I made a quick draw over to make the anatomy look a little more natural.

 

What I did was:

 

-Made the neck and body thicker

 

-Brought down the eye level

 

-Gave a rough sketch of what arms would look like

 

-Continued the larger body

 

-Drew the line of where the spines may align
