2D Pic (Fantasy)

[Dog-E]

I sometimes come up with all these ideas and than I try to pull them off on a blank Photoshop screen.

I start with a black background, and then I do not remember painting the rest.

But it is not done.

So comments are appreciated.

Thanks...

[Dog-E]

around 6-7 hours (includes thinking)...

[hybrid101]

Dog(od)-E!
abs fabulous, moody & perfectly balanced...
what should I call it photo, painting?

really curious to see it when it'll be fully done!!!

[Bird-E]

very nice! :)
Love the rain effects on the dragon. Good work (-:

[Dog-E]

Thanks.

Well how I started the dragon and kid is this:

1. I draw the outline on paper.
2. I scan it.
3. I re-sketch it in Photoshop and fill it with black.
4. Then I start lighting, colors and all the effects.

Any suggestions are welcome.

edit
I did a terrible mistake about the lighting of the wings. Because of the strong light of the moon, it is impossible to see most of the splashes on the wings, so I fixed them.

But, still, it is not about how it is supposed to be, it is about how you want it to be.

I think the dragon, drake call it whatever you want is done.

Love the idea...

Wow man, that's beautiful. Do you use a wacom or plain mouse? It should be really hard if you use mouse. Man I wish I was any good at drawing.

[Steven_jd]

nice very nice i like it its pretty easy to do but to have the ideaz is a next thing great job

[Dog-E]

Sometimes yes, it is hard to do it with mouse.

But as I told you, I first sketch in on paper and than go over the outlines in photoshop. So, these are not "actually" drawn by mouse (other than the mountain, clouds, sky...)

I try to find a way to use laptop's mouse pad as a smaller and downgraded version of wacom but, I haven't found a pen or a stick that will make it work.

[CriTiCeRz]

I've tried that with a lot of things and it just works with finger.. it's weird... lol. Same as the iPod scroll thingy.

[SlowRoasted]

I think it's great.

[kernel_flash]

The moon in the background really caught my attention.
great effect there. is that also applied effect?

[Dog-E]

That is airbrush with different brush styles (I created most of the brushes to paint the moon).

To have the round look, I applied spherize.

And the glow is the gaussian blurred version of the same moon.

[Dog-E]

Done.

Thank you kirupans for all comments.

[fabiopb]

WOW!!!!! speachless..... truly :thumb2:

[mariuszpierog]

you like to draw - start from adesso tablets - cheap and good for your hand to warm up...:rabbit:

[tpspoons]

WOW

although it will be much better as a wallpaper (1024*768):D

[Dog-E]

Oh..
No, the resolution is meant to be like that.

I belive if I had done it with a wallpaper resolution, it would totally be a different image.

[Esherido]

Beautiful! If I had some picture paper I'd print it out and hang it up on my wall! Exiemente! (My version of exellent.) That is absolutely amazing.
