Well its finally done, went out and bought a Wacom Tablet for this pic, its my submission for the Frostmourne art contest for World of Warcraft's next expansion pack. Took me 3 weeks on and off to get this bugger done, but I feel pretty good about it. I doubt any of the other entries will feature a frostwyrm, woot! *crosses his fingers*
The texture- armor, frost effects, and the detail are easily the best parts. I like the fur on his boots, too, but the hair (or maybe it's part of the cloak) seems only a little bit out of place because of the difference of its (I'm not sure if this is the proper term) definition (?) as opposed to the character and his outlining. The background is very well done- A lot of people have trouble lessening the impact of negative space, but you did it perfectly.
Ya I'm still trying out various techniques with photoshop, this pic was my first experience with a wacom tablet as well. The hair and fur were added in after some initial coloring, my next goal is to find a way to hide the outlines, I wanted this to look like a painting but I guess I still have a ways to go before I figure how to keep the lines less visible. It is the only the that bugs me about it, but its not enough to for me to hold it against myself, I love what I did here, and if anything I see what I need to improve on. Desktop worthy? Thats a pretty cool honor!
I kind of like the outline, but if you were going for a more painted look, that's understandable. First Wacom experience, huh? Not bad... I've never been able to use those things to their full advantage.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
