Anatomy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Few things you can really criticize on anatomy when there are no humans, but.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ANATOMY

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a.The dragons jaw isnt large enough, his neck runs out farther then his jaw bone

 

 

 

b. his nostrils are too small. im surprised he doesnt die from lack of w/e he breathes

 

 

 

c. his [bleep]es on his back are straight up, while this is possible it looks better if they are angled (usually towards the tail)

 

 

 

d. the phats are small enough to fit the cat....they would be too small to fit a human (unless you were going for the cats own the worlde thing)

 

 

 

e. the kitty has no kitteny snout when its not breathing fire

 

 

 

f. the kitten's front arm is too thin and long

 

 

 

g. the fire spreads too much at first..it should be thin in the beginning and get large, remember he's blowing fire...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SHADING

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a. the coins look like sand...

 

 

 

b. the pats are gold

 

 

 

c. the walls dont seam shaded enough

 

 

 

d. the fire causes no light source

 

 

 

e. the way you tried dithering it made it look blocky and odd

It looks Ok. Need pratice to draw cool stuff..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and fire is not like that....look up flame thrower in google.

Thanks for the c/c. I'm not planning on changing anything but I'm certain I need to take more time on my future pixels. I found with this one the colours weren't picked very well and I noticed the gold/sand thingy too

Good points by Despaxes. I wanted to add that fire is hottest in the center, therefore a stronger color, which means the center is yellow or even white, going to the outer red rims; since you did your flames backwards in color.

so when exactly was the last time you saw a dragon then? :wink:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I like it cus its such a cute idea, forget perfection.. I think you've drawn everything you intended to draw, crits for the future would be to research more into what you'd find in the image ur intending to draw, in a cave simple research caves on google.. Don't simply copy what you see but take on board what you find and mimic certain colours, shading and textures.. You'll find it'll make the background less empty and more interesting to the eye.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With the dragon you can't find many reliable references to help you so I'd suggest looking up lizards and horses, as a dragon is basically a mix between the two, for wings maybe a bat or.. An Eagle may be a good animal to research because it's movements and stances are similar to what you would expect of a dragon.. oo a very evil buurd :twisted:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

good points tho despaxes and xman

The idea was Dark Shadow who was in the list of free ones to make.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I do feel that this one is very empty as I worked of the basis of a horse for the dragons head with alterations like [bleep]es etc. As I'm making free ones they're never my best although I'm working towards putting utmost effort into them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One other point which I keep forgetting to add in to my work is darker shading and more variablility between the colours for the shading. I can never get this right and need some advice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I started making this I had a good idea of what I was making but was unsure of how to make it. I see how researching will help me. One of the biggest problem I had was making the kittens jaw increase in size as the fire came out and anotehr big problem was animating it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks you very much for the crits, I've keep all of this is mine in a file for the future, as well as drawing it I'm going to start research more <- That's my late new years' resolution :D

Quite good. but yeah, the only obvious ones are that the kitten looks mouthless when it's mouth is closed, and the fact that the dragon looks like it's dentures are out... close the mouth, and make it look like he's looking at the kitten, not the camera :wink:
