I wanted to try something a little different today, and I wanted to make something fast. But more than anything I wanted to make something I could actually post here! Yeesh, I haven't posted an image in a while. So here it is, not quite finished but not quite unfinished either - I think I like it that way

I like the shape, long snoute sharp little teeth. and red, What else is the best kind of dragon. reminds me of the D&D dragon, is it drak-O or something...

rendering is as you would expect...

I like the design the most, awesome sinister dragon..

Jezebel · Posted: Fri May 11, 2001 5:12 pm

v1510nAry - Thank you!

Luci - Woop, I've very surprised that someone remembered that initial sketch. I'm glad you like it

Dryfire - *giggles*

Visigoth - Nice comment coming from you, considering you're the king of simplistic style

Poprocksz - Thanks!

ReSistanZ -

Wyatt Turner - Ooof, deja vu

Thanks again. I thought the sharp little teeth would make him look a bit creepier.

Rinaldo - *giggles*

Ed Lee - Thank you. Compliments from you are really appreciated, I love your art.

Collosimo - Thanks so much. I tend to draw sinister looking things... don't know why. Maybe I should try something cutesie next.

NukleoN · Posted: Fri May 11, 2001 5:23 pm

Jezebel this is brilliant! Excellent work..I love dragons too hehe.

NukleoN

Jezebel · Posted: Fri May 11, 2001 9:26 pm

NukleoN - Thank you! Dragons kick ass.

Negative · Posted: Fri May 11, 2001 11:00 pm

hey Jezebel
colours are realy well chosen, but the pose is a little too flat. I know you can make it better. I'd be more realistic if the dragon's neck would be more curved and if the dragon would be looking to us. I'd give more depth to the pic, and it's the thing that's missing.

Jezebel · Posted: Fri May 11, 2001 11:59 pm

Sempere - Unfortunately I haven't been up to a whole lot, that's why I was determined to get this image posted today. Thanks for your compliments

Wyatt - I really appreciate that.

Magicman - You try telling him to his face that he has small teeth. He doesn't like that one bit!

Name? Nothing yet... any suggestions?

Cos - Thank you, I am glad you like the lighting because it's something I was trying hard to get decent looking.

Tepox - Thank you!

Dives - It probably took me a little under an hour.

Negative - Thanks for the crit. I agree that the neck could use more development, but I intentionally left the image unfinished.

As for the pose, it's a personal preference of mine that some of the mystery is taken away when a character is facing the viewer. For more technical thing (like concept art) I think it can be ok, but otherwise I prefer a more candid view.

Thanks

Very nice Jez!

You didn't do that one in the paintchat did you?

Keep it up!

Those colors are really good, esp. the bright ones in the lower left corner area. I like dragons done this color instead of green or something, it makes them look hot and firey

Morbid Guy · Posted: Sat May 12, 2001 1:04 pm

That's really nice Jezebel, love the colours and mood. Looks like it is rising out of the flames.

Jezebel · Posted: Sat May 12, 2001 9:28 pm

Ramp - I did the initial sketch in Paintchat but I colored it in Photoshop. Glad you like

Extension - I agree, I really like non-green dragons. At least not REALLY green dragons. Sometimes people color them with such high saturated colors that they look cartoony. I like it when they are more of a muted color of green.

Morbid - Thanks. That was the effect I was hoping to achieve.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

Lovely strokes Jezebel. Nice and loose, and with just a few marks you've managed to create atomosphere. As soon as I looked at it, I was reminded of the old film "Dragonslayer". That's my favorite dragon. More???

NukleoN · Posted: Sun May 13, 2001 1:03 am

Where is Paintchat? Sounds cool....

Jenn · Posted: Sun May 13, 2001 4:55 am

I love you!
