Artist's Comments

Finally. After bumming around on this picture being sidetracked by my thoughts over the past weeks and a proximate depressive phasis of my life, I finally gt to finish this piece.
The jumbo commission for :iconarlaan: of his white dragon Arlaan. The name itself is so cool that I had to use it as the main title of this picture. I wasn't actually trying out new techniques but I was trying to use them differently without feeling strange or worrying about colours and shapes.
I really need to practice colouring.

A big thank to Rhynn for being such an inspiration and for her striking dragon anatomy that always makes my eyes plop out wenever I see a picture of hers.

I hope you like it. ^^

Thanks a lot for looking. <3

I like the golden highlighting on his head and neck, but it looks strangely absent from the rest of him. I'd like to see more of it on at least his front legs.
What's the blue on his face and back legs? Is it markings or shadows? I'd like to see more blue shadows on the dragon to match those of the rock, to keep the blue foreground and orange background theme going.

As I said on MSN, the mountains are very impressive in that they're crisp and beautiful without distracting from the foreground. :) I agree with what =danji-isthmus said about adding some more orange to them -- the zone of orange clouds on the centre left keeps drawing my eye, and it wouldn't do that so much if the orange was a more common theme to the background.
I like the spiral composition the clouds have, which draws your eyes around the picture.

Your work continues to become more impressive. It's been a pleasure watching your style and abilities develop. :)

*faints from the beauty of this piece*

I-n-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-e.

I love all the details you put into this one - the face especially. Then there's the gorgeous veins and translucent quality of the wings. Oh and the anatomy looks lovely as well.

Overall one fantastic piece! :nod:
