a small update:
cant decide - dragon with or without armor?

mr_dessin 2020-01-24 09:22:24 UTC #68

Very nice new touches !
To be honest that is hard to choose...like them both, but maybe the first is better ?

tianlei 2020-01-24 09:24:36 UTC #69

hey @mr_dessin thanks for reply. i feel like the first one is better as well. i do like how dragon and human begin to relate to each other with addition of armor, but without armor dragon seems to be more natural

mr_dessin 2020-01-24 09:31:26 UTC #70

Also I kinda feel you loose point of interest with helmet armor.
But maybe that's just me.

And agreed with your great point of view !

giagiastoons 2020-01-24 22:11:34 UTC #71

nice work, I prefer the one without the helmet. I love how his sail is only on the head, makes it look like a mohawk looking great

Oceane_Roh 2020-01-24 23:39:20 UTC #72

I don't think your dragon need a helmet, the design is already very efficient without it. I would probably be a bit too much. But in the other it's really cool to have a part of the drake who remind the girl outfit. It really help to understand the relation between these two, but then it's a different story

nesokaiyoh 2020-01-25 00:58:17 UTC #73

I agree with oceane, having a helmet is a little distracting and acts as a barrier between us and the emotion of the dragon. I'd say best without it

thank you @Oceane_Roh, @giagiastoons, @nesokaiyoh, @mr_dessin - you helped me to decide, gonna continue without any armor on the dragon, now its a matter of rendering and putting the time in to tight and clean everything up

tianlei 2020-01-26 20:46:41 UTC #75

upd. changed a bunch of stuff

marianoeliceche 2020-01-28 10:24:59 UTC #76

one more update today

mr_dessin 2020-01-31 07:24:28 UTC #81

Such really cool details you added all the time !
The small grass part really add something to this (and lots of other details of course).

I have just one mini concern about the woman.
Her neck is not a bit too big ? (I thought it was the shoulder pad but apparently not).
This is really something that distract me since the beginning (but maybe that's just me, so no worries).

Oceane_Roh 2020-01-31 10:34:25 UTC #82

Woo nice vibration in the colors !

nesokaiyoh 2020-01-31 15:43:11 UTC #83

Really beautiful so far. I might have mentioned before, but do you think having a longer canvas would work better for your piece? There's so much movement and gesture but it's all compressed in a box and I feel with more freedom on the canvas it could really benefit. It's up to you though but I think messing around with that could help

pylua 2020-02-01 02:50:15 UTC #84

It's looking so good, it tells a beautiful story !
I really like the colors and the brush strokes.

However I second @nesokaiyoh : Wouldn't a longer or larger size allow the viewer (... spectator ? I always had trouble to find the good word from french to english) to have a better appreciation of the scene ?

HOLMOAK 2020-02-04 01:04:26 UTC #85

amazing work so far! ^^
that touch of green really bring out the sense of protection.

Lil_G 2020-02-04 12:26:55 UTC #86

It's just a fantastic atmospheric piece! Fantastic job!

tianlei 2020-02-04 12:32:06 UTC #87

@Lil_G oh thank you a ton, it's very flattering coming from you!
