The quite large and long awaited commission for Soulhunter-Amras.

This is actually the largest commission I have done so far and also one which I simply couldn't resist to go overboard with detailing. It took me quite long to complete bt I must say that it was worth it and that I feel great now.

I also used this picture to experiment a bit more with colouring and shading a character and tried out how to make him stand out from the bright background without making it too overloaded.

The Moon: I don't know why I think about this but you might be curious how long I took to paint that damned moon. It was the most difficult part of the picture with took longer than anything else in addition. I spent the most time on thinking how to paint the moon and looked for tutorials and references of how to paint a detailed moon.
I couldn't find any good tutorials, so I found the last solution: textures and brush strokes!

It takes long but I like it in the end. XD

Before I actually started colouring the entire picture, I sat hours in front of it and thought how the hell I can do it. lol
Don't ask me why but I took this commission extremely, extremely serious. So seriously, that I even want to send it to Ballistic Publishing's Expose - I already got the permission from the commissioner.

It's worth a try me thinks. In the end, they took my Gryphon picture for Exotique. :D

I really hope you like it and that it will be large enough to cover your wall. ;) Thanks so much again! :heart:

Wow. o.o

One of these days, hopefully I'll have the cash to commission you for something like this!

Absolutely gorgeous! And I can only imagine what a pain the moon was to paint.

So many details! Everything I see has so much detail; the moon, the scales, the lighting from the blue fractures, even all the little veins in the dragon's wings.

But I gotta say my favourite part of this piece is the lighting on the rock! :D

You totally rock for drawing this! :)

You... Have no idea how jaw-dropping this image is... And how much inspiration and imagination it gives to the ones looking at it. 0_0

I'm beyond impressed with the vast talent and detail in this image, I feel like I could just stare at it for hours, adoring the scale-work in itself, then there is the lighting and shadow, and for goodness sakes! The background! I can't really think of anything to describe how much I like this image, and what I like, without tapping out a novel's worth of text... :P

So simply; this image is very awesome, and draconic creatures are something I adore, but can never draw, even cartoon-like. Seeing this just inspires me to do something difficult and push my abilities to see how far I can go; And I have no doubt it does the same for alot of other artists looking at this right now. :D

The voices in my head tell me to-... Oh, never mind, I'll surprise you.
