finished version, i might go back and fix a few things but for now i think its done :P

i had to add some more flowers after looking at it and realising how much the colorful wyvern stood out from everything else... so some of the flowers that dont show up in the lineart are painted with acrylics :B

not as much shading as i would have liked, but i was a little scared to mess with the shadows on the wyvern too much for fear of ruining it ^^;

anyways :P any suggestions are cool, im not against going back and fixing a few things.

I like the colours on the wyvern. The contrast between the delicate line art and the subtle colours is very pretty, I might try something like that sometime.

How amazing! :love: The color choices are exquisite! I love the combination of the soft purple wyvern with the delicate greens of the moss and foliage. Everything looks so dainty and beautiful. The watercolor texture lends its softness so well to this.

Looking from the lineart to this and back again, it's awesome how you've managed to add in the extra flowers like that! I would never have noticed that they weren't there from the beginning, they look so natural. As a whole, the scene is lovely, with the dainty dragon, lush foliage, and pretty flowers all about. Incredible job with the detailing! I'm enamored by the various shapes and colors of flowers, as well as the marvelous texture of the mossy limb, articulated by both the lineart and painted coloring. Lush and cushy and wonderful! :nod: And everything in the foreground is so crisp and clear, contrasting fabulously with the unpenned backdrop. It really brings the foreground into focus, but makes it so the backdrop isn't boring, either.

The wyvern's anatomy looks right on! :D It looks delicate but at the same time strong, a beautiful creature not to be trifled with, for sure. I love the ridge coming off its back, both for the shape and the splash of brighter purple it offers. The spots on the wyvern's body are very pretty and realistic, and add a feeling of realism to it, despite the fact that neither the critter itself nor the color are in any way realistic. You've done a great job of making this believable, is what I'm trying to say. Though, its wing membranes are a bit boring without any noticeable shading... But I'm afraid, too, that some shadowing might ruin the delicate mood and color scheme.

Another thing I really like is the meticulous shadow-work. The light is subtle but all of the shadows are present and accounted for! Awesome how they follow the shapes of the item casting the light so well, and are suitably pale rather than starkly dark. It's really fitting and adds a ton of depth to the piece.

Fabulous work! Truly! This is an astonishing piece, from the concept to the coloration to the details and beyond. Thank you for posting it for us all to see.

wow, thanks for the well thought out comment :)
i agree that the main part of the wing membranes aren't shaded as much as i would have liked, but i tried to do it earlier and it looked terrible so i had to scrub it off with a paintbrush :XD: the downside of painting wings like that is they're kinda hard to shade :P

Looks terriffic!
Peachfuzz pretty much nailed it here. The flowers you added really help fill the branch out, so it's not looking as barren as before. The extra shading also helps tome it down a bit cuz, as I mentioned when you showed me the WIP, the color was bright! O__O

The only thing I don't like is the mountains. Although they aren't the main focus, they seem rather flat. I like that misty element at the bottom and would like to see more of it if possible, but I am also talking outta my ass cuz I don't know how. LoL

Glad to see you getting back into the coloring groove. :D

Wow, this is amazing. The colors are very appealing, and kinda makes me wish that it hadn't seemingly jumped from winter straight into the middle of summer where I live. Somehow this reminds me of those ancient chinese paintings, must be because of those mountains :D

I would say to go back and make more shadows on the wings, but seeing as the sun is right there, making them a little brighter from the sunlight seems good. Other than that, you did a VERY good job. So much detail has been put in, and the wyvern's design is adorable.

It's been a while since i´ve commented on an art of yours...

But I couldn't remain in silence for this one!

The colors are great, and so is the landscape. Lovely!
