Looking hot--er, cool! ^_^ I want to know if this technique would work for something highly metallic--say, for instance, silver or platinum. X3

Really looking forward to the tutorial, they're always so helpful. :D

Actually it would probably work fairly well for metallic things, as it's in the nature of metal to have gradients and harsh, liquid edges.

X3 I think I'm definitely going to try it, then. Don't mind me as I hover around your journal and try'n puzzle out the various shading-techniques meself!

Holy smokes, that's amazing. I really can't wait to see the tutorial on how you did this!

I love the glowy-orb thing and the dragon.

That blue-green is seriously one of my favourite colours. :) Love how you coloured this one.

0.0 I am flabbergasted. There are no words to describe how oh-so-very /pretty/ that is.

I also like this new, cel shading/soft shading of yours. Makes for a very interesting blend--its got the simplicity of cel that doesnt hurt your eyes, but the pretty sparklies of soft that make it non boring.

mehe.

That is seriously kicking. I love the semi-monochromatic feel and the whole composition of the piece. For some reason I'm also really digging how the angel's wings overlap the border X3

Though what happened to the glowy dragon idea? Just wasn't working out?

He's still kinda glowy, but when I did uber glowy the picture didn't look right. It ended up looking to lightweight on top and heavy on the bottom. Compositionally it didn't look right, so I've now got a slightly glowly dragon as opposed to a lightbulb dragon!

Yeah, I can't really see it working out. But hopefully we'll see a lightbulb dragon in the future? XD;

That's a neat image. I really like it (as I do most of your other work). Which tutorial are you talking about that's coming soon? And also, I've been seaching everywhere and I can't find your book's release date anywhere... could you please tell me when it is?

Simply beautiful. I love how you can continue churning out art and stay on task. It's one of the things I admire most about you aside from your abilities in art and composition :)

i left a comment on DA but here goes again, I really like the shading style you used this time (the soft-hard style), very unique and it goes pretty well with the subject, very cool

no im not jealous, i was just saying your art is consistently good. I like my style of art even tho i can't make it as detailed as I'd like but it works for me and how you draw/color works for you.

i am sorry for misjudging you. i assumed you were jealous. truth is, i am a lil jeaous over neon dragon's art. its seems advanced for me, but i am still grwoing artistically, but probably not to her lvl, eventually, but not now

i understand... i used to try to compare myself to others' art that i admired but i realize that im not quite as capable of doing things the exact same way. Thru trial and error and experimentation you will probably find your own style and it may not match up to neon dragon's but it will still be cool in it's own way =)

I've always loved the half-feathers half-leather wings on dragons/people/other creatures. The ears are rather neat. I used to not like ears on dragons until I saw your art, XD The colouring has a cooling harshity to it. Is it just me, or has your art been getting darker and darker? I don't mind, just a-wondering!^^

And yay~! Tutorial!

I'm really fascinated by the dragon's wings. I don't think I've ever see anyone do wings like that, but the more I stare at them, the more I go, "Well, it makes sense!" And I absolutely love it.

Stunning. Yet another job well done. I'm a huge fan of the color scheme that you (the commissionee?) picked for it.

Oh, and I love the iconic-esque balance to the composition.

It has an eerie feel to it. Lovely. I like how the griphon's wings frame the angel; it brings the piece together.
