I like the style you've chosen. I guess it isn't your drawing, so no point in mentioning anatomy problems?
The colour is nice, and the lighting is interesting, but the right side of the figure is too blurry. A little blur might be good, but not that much. I'd also like to see more detail in the dark part of the face.

Also, just the hint of something he is standing on (a cast shadow or whatever) can go a long way in pictures like this.

I mentioned in the topic title, Lizafish drew it!
My idea for the blur on the right was supposed to be a hard blueish light, daylight like, and it was reflecting with a sort of glow effect, if you follow ?!
Thanks for the comments dude!
*me thinks about spending more time on it...

[neebhore]

It's kind of hurried, and i was gonna do a nice little backdrop of a dragon's lair, but i don't have a tablet and it was a bit of a chore trying to do it with the mouse, so I gave up!
It's a bit fat on the KB's so you might have to be a bit patient.
Im still kinda new to this so any helpfull comments are very welcome, I'm eager to learn and improve.
Feel free to say what you like...

[neebhore]

Some more replies would be nice! If you don't like it, think it's crap or whatever, then say so, and tell me why. I want to improve, i'm asking for your help dammit people.

The color scheme is well done.
Why are various parts blurred out so much and others sharp.

[Lizafish]

Hi Neebhore. I really like what you've done with it and the fact that some bits are more blurry/less sharp than others doesnt matter to me.

I think it looks really cool and Im honoured you wanted to colour it. I cant believe you did all that with a mouse. I have a tablet and I still cant paint for toffee with it.

ANY ANATOMY COMMENTS TO ME!! heh

Its not Neebhores fault I was a little off in my construction.

I know he has a girls waist. And someone said something about his knees and sword hand at one point.

But I still like. Cheers man.

I think it turned out nice neebhore, the only downside I can say, is the left hand side of him seems too blurred, kinda like your looking through a hazy smeared camera lens. It makes the studs on his right forearm look a bit too defined, compared to the left Other than that, I like the color scheme you chose, his skin tone gives him an undead appearance (failed dragon slayer?

I know matt (Liza) personally, the lamer does the same course at uni :P, and I'm sure he'll like the way this has turned out, its quite similar to his painting style in someways.

Anyways, keep up the work, and keep practicing and posting m8

And in like a dogs dick, Matt replies mere seconds after I'd SMS'd him his picture had been painted, sausage

Well thank god you like it!!
I explained the blur crap above, also the orange light is from, possibly, dragons fire, so the blur on that side is from heat... you might need a REALLY good imagination to see where i'm coming from! :|

I might lose the blur, slap a background in, or even do a completely different one.

[edit]-Just read flushablpet(lol)'s bit. Thanx man, I'll keep practising and posting etc.

I was originally gonna go for an undead look, but I went more down a half dragon half man with woman's waist and dodgy wrist sort of road.
