Scooter Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Gee whizz LD you just keep springing new nuggets of gold on us. The David Bowie is very well done the color, composition and the background all serve to give the piece a dramatic flare, like would be seen in a live performance . ??? However, forgive me but I (this is ME only) am less enthusiastic about the Isgerdr drawing. I have trouble "seeing" the creature, I see the lighting bolts (great job) I see the beautiful blues, aquas and the interesting patterning of the darks; But I just don't find your dragon. Though given, I was here watching the last dinosaurs fade into oblivion, it is most likely I'm full of stuff and nonsense and not able to see the trees for the forest. Regardless keep up doing what you do.❤ I enjoy seeing your progress and most interesting take on things PDN? .

LionsDragon Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 @Scooter, thank you! I'm really liking the digital painting. And...it's not just you. I think I was too fixated on keeping an icy color scheme. On the other hand, she has great camouflage!...but I don't want to think what a dragon would need to hide from.... O.O I do have some boats and temples and more portraits "in the pipe," so Isgerdr has been a good lesson on how NOT to color! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionsDragon Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Thank you @lynxster4, @Maximilian, and @Pixey! I do recommend Twin Peaks (start from the beginning or it will make less-than-no sense). I've always felt so bad for this actress. She must have been freezing! Glad that you like the picture! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximilian Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Oh, yes, Twin Peaks was and remains a very famous series. I do remember that, although I've never gotten into it. Perhaps it's about time I do 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionsDragon Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Thank you @Woodsy! Thank you @barbieq25! And yes @Maximilian, I can't recommend it enough.
