Hi all... this is my dragonwatch.
I had a hard time painting the gold and the reflections, but I think it turned out ok.
this is my second attempt to paint something in painter, and I must say, thats an amazing programme!
(This is a cover for a book... and the big dark part on the left is the back of the book with text and barcode etc.)

C&c's appreciated!

thanks

eBoy

amazing stuff!
I watched the WIP on the lumental forum
and it turn out even better!
that background sure improved the
whole atmosphere of the image.
keep up the excellent work!

Ehhh it is a good painting I just dont like the composition. Seems to be lacking some major elements but composition is my weak point so i not much help

Quasar, perhaps you missed what the picture was made for, a book cover. I.e. the watch-side will have the book's and author's name printed on it and the back-side will have all the quotes and stuff.

I'd like to see the cover in its finished state, with the text inserted, or is it a secret still?

I have liked your work ever since I first saw that one with the two chars sitting under a tree in a storm. Your work always has a great atmosphere. I like this one too!

Seems kinda funny having a clown as one of the hands on the watch.

It's really good though. I like the blue highlight on the dragons tail. It would sure catch my eye on a book-shelf.

I love the watch.. impressive details.
maybe you could add some lights from some windows in the city.
