Epic, excellent work with the shading and the reflections on the water!

Hell yes thank you so much!
Very nicely done, super creative and very well executed.
Thank you!
I don't know why "tasty" is the first word that comes to mind when I admire the colors here but I'll just stick with it. I do love the soft, light nature of this. The contrast is light and the shadows are soft, but this piece still has a satisfying sense of depth. Enjoyed seeing the process gif below too.
Thank you! When you say tasty it makes me think the scene is made of candy XD
Very nice work, and a badass cover too. This looks traditionally painted, but I can't really tell if it's a canvas texture or a detail added later, care to enlighten me? Either way, this is super badass and very well made.
Sure, the texture is from texture brushes. I do want to make it look traditionally painted.
Fantastic! The coloring here is exceptional- it reminds me of an oil slick-like palette, and you did a great job giving each color a fair amount of balance. The smoke is very jazzy and pizazzy and I love it.
Thank you! Yes, oilslick is the look I was going for. I love trying to incorporate a lot of color into my work.
That color palette is so satisfying. Excellent composition!
Thank you so much!
Very well done! I love how many colors are present, and the subtle animation of the light from the computer screen! It'd be cool to see you work on this to add some more movements, such as breathing, blinking, etc. Regardless, this is still super cool and very well done. Welcome to NG!
Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoy it, and while this was a commission, I do have some animations that show off more movement. Will post those once I get through posting my older work, or you can check my website if you want to skip the wait XP
Opeth lyrics?
This piece is absolutely magical. You did a great job balancing the darkness of the scene while also preserving the beautiful reflections of light from the aurora borealis. Absolutely beautiful.
Opeth lyrics indeed. Thank you!
My opinions on NFTs are unsurprisingly just as negative as many other folks, but since this review space is for the art itself, let's just talk about that, huh?
This is awesome! I love the sense of color and contrast, especially around his mouth. I like the detail of his body emerging from the clouds too. The only thing that seems a bit off to me is the perspective. This piece does feel a bit flat to me at some points, and I feel that the depth could be improved on. Perhaps this is due to a somewhat unsavory crop or aspect ratio even, but most of what I'm seeing in terms of 'flatness' come from the wings, namely the one that the person is standing on. I mean, props to them for being able to hold on to this magnificent beast, of course.
Perhaps it is just a product of the cropping, but I do think that seeing more of a wingspan, or perhaps finding a different creative way to crop the image (such as obscuring more of the dragon in the clouds) would help bring some depth and convey the size of the dragon. I guess it's a somewhat minor point, but it does stand out to me. As I said before, you absolutely nailed the color, contrast, and lighting especially. Not to mention, great work on the detail of the dragon's skin.
because no one bought any prints of my work I started selling NFT version of them
and good or bad NFT's really saved me in covid and helped me to stay a fulltime artist and start working on my own original stuff!
and I really appreciate review
hope I can improve the things you touched on, I've been mostly painting portraits / commissioned stuff, so this is a new territory for me :D
As others have pointed out, your work with lighting in particular is definitely something to admire. In this piece especially, you've done a great job at reflecting and radiating the warmth from the light shining through the window. I love the subtle shades of brown towards where the walls meet the floor. It's almost as if this piece is living and breathing, as I can stare into this and almost hear the soft rustling of leaves on a sunny day. Excellent work.
thank you so much !!
