Daenerys and Drogon

Daily Deviation

Given 2012-04-11

The flow of the textures of Daenerys and Drogon within the blaze of fiery colors blows me away. *PhotoshopIsMyKung-Fu is a fantastic artist that must not be overlooked! ( Suggested by ~Jazz-Rhythm and Featured by `CreativeJenn )

Absolutely beautiful piece. The first thing I noticed, interestingly enough, was the girl's mouth: it's distinguishing, and she's very pretty. Not to mention beautifully drawn, that is. Her neck is beautifully shaded too, but some of the lines look just a touch too thin: it looks almost a tough too masculine and tendon-y for a younger girl/woman, especially since her face is nice and full. However, that could just be the angle, too. I love the cheekbone, and the way you brought the highlights down across her cheek: it's a little flair of dynamicism.

To reiterate, I LOVE the shading of this piece. It's a beautiful use of warm tones.

Anyways, back to the girl. Her hair is sublime. I adore the shading on the braid, and the individual strands just pop out. Almost directly above her right eyebrow, though, is a little patch of hair that seems just a touch "dead" compared to the rest. A little bit more added highlight or lowlight might've added to it, although you might not have wanted to over-do it.

I don't know much about dragons, but everything looks in order with the one you made. i love the speckled highlights, because it gives the perfect effect of scales without meticulously having to draw every one out. Also, good job with keeping it in the same colour palette as the girl, but just using darker tones.

The purple spot in the background by the girls head throws me off, just a touch. I feel like the colour should be echoed somewhere else in the painting, aside from your watermark, that is.

The background overall, though, is a great balance of lights and darks that moves my eye around effectively, and draws my attention to the girl. The darker areas in the right help to balance the image with the dragon's wing which weighs it to the left. The girl could possibly be a little more off-center, because the way you de-centered her was good, but it's a little subtle.

Honestly, my biggest (only) two problems with this picture are the purple area, and the watermark haha. I prefer the translucent ones, because they detract less. Gorgeous piece, I really love it.
