Wow, I am really liking this one. I really like the way you captured the ambiant light from the clouds. It really feels like you in the clouds. I also really like the directional elements of the drawing, it really pulls you in.

I'll compliment it here too.

This is replacing my old background.


Lemur god, mentioned the seperation at the hip. The line seems a little exagerated.

Great pic, nice detailing on the armour and the wings.
I have to agree with SlightlyTwisted though and say that the first thing I noticed was the armour and that I think it could be broken up with some gold.

Soo many replies^_^ Thanks for your kind words everyone. I'm sure Opticnerve will be pleased to hear your praise as well


schabe, it's funny becase I got a book of Josh kirby art the other day, he's the guy who did the Discworld covers as well as many others. I never knew who did them but they always stood out on the book rack. I quite like that style of Illustration.

Staff Sarge, heh, my cloud skills still have a way to go^_^, I know exacly what you mean tho. I think I know what to do to make them more "fluffy" but I'll save it for next time=)

SlightlyTwisted-true about the armour. I was originaly going for something green that had a lot more colours running through it. like a marble/jade kind of look. but it got lost along the way.

Chapel-yeah, you're right. I think it works ok like it is tho. I probably should have played up the foeground BG a lot more. in a lot of ways that's missing.

Lemur God-The line (if it's the same one I'm thinking of) is probably something Rob did with a stylistic bent and I emphasised it badly. I should have probably made it less stand out.

Frost- now that you mention it I can see the simmilarities . not my drawing so I wouldn't know what the inspiration is/was tho.

Nova-interesting what you say about the style of it. I was trying to do a bit of a balencing act between comic and painted. It's the same sort of thing that Chris does in a way. although I would tend to say it's a bit looser and more painterly. (heh, what can I say, I'm sloppy^_^)

Jezebel-I already have some new pencils from Optic but It might be a while before I get around to them, this took up way too much of my school time(not that I regret it), now I need to play catch up^_^

waylon-Hey there I'd have to agree that it is lacking depth, I tried to give the clouds some dimension, but it didn't work out all that well. your comments are right on the ball.

Sorry I couldn't give everyone a personalised "thank you"^_^ I appreciate all your comments very much.

80000 high!!!!!

Erm, oh. Well. *I*, for one, would like to see the full-rez version. (It's always informative seeing where the artist skimped on detail, because it wasn't needed.)

[sacrelicious]

Wow, Rin, awesome work. I'm extremely envious!

What is your obsession with my forbidden closet of mystery?
