Haven't had time to do a digital painting for a while, but I managed to sqeeze this one in as an assignment for my Art Appreciation class. It's supposed to be surrealism, but don't kill me if you think it doesn't fall into that category. Anywho, I whipped this up in about 3 hours. Tell me what you think. Crits and comments are welcome. (Keep in mind I only spent 3 hours on it.)

hey, thas good for three hours. I really like it, how you have done the face of the human. Good facial expression.
Hm, the Dragon seems a bit to dirty, more red or blue or green for the skincolour would be my suggestion.
And, yap, it doesn't really look like the usual surrealism! ^^ |

I think it would have greater effect if their anatomy matched up. Ie. the boys eye is being stretched but it doesn't meet the dragons eye. Same with the mouth, bring the dragons mouth back to meet the boys. I think distorted by defined would be sweet. This is not to say the painting isn't fabulous. I wish to god I had your talent.
Justmy two cents. Thanks. |

Hey. That looks good. especially the guy's face. But I think the transition between the two entities could be more interesting. As it is now it just looks like you took the skin colour of the guy and the dragon and smuged them together. Ok, that's probably what you intended to do too but I think it could be done giving more concideration to the anatomy, for example the muscles. Tarandon's suggestion seems good too.
I also think you should desaturate the flesh in the dragon's mouth a bit to make it look more in harmony with the rest of the piece. the teeth looks a bit strange too. It's still a great piece KroM. |

I like this piece and I don't think this even needs to be correct anatomy, because the style looks simplistic and a bit like comic style.
Only suggestion I have is to make neck more plain, so it's fits to the style. Just a simple cylinder.
If realism is what you have in mind then do more research on human anatomy. Anyway, really nice piece! |
