Hi cgsociety!
Starded this project yesterday. The thought is that there is a really strong bond between the girl and the dragon. I dont think the linesketch is finish yet. If you have any comments or critics they are more then welcome!
I will start laying down some colors tomorrow.
here are the sketch: (The arm looks terrible)
thanks in advance!

its a cool idea, but I think that you should have them looking into eachothers eyes, not the girl looking up the dragons nostrils...
I'll be looking for updates.

thanks for the reply jackie!
haha, when you say nosestrils it looks very ..different indeed. The idea was that she's looking at his cute nose...but maybe you are right. Ill try some other opportunities

hehe...
looking at it again, I have another comment. perhaps if you want to express the bond betweem them more, you should take out the harness thing. It makes it look like the dragon is her prisoner. If you have a free dragon, it will become more apparent that the dragon wants to be there and has a positive bond with the girl.
I don't mean to rip apart your ideas, it all depends on where you want to go with the picture.
Jackie.

Lovely sketch, and a VERY cool concept! I definitely agree with Jackie though, she looks more like she's forcing the dragon to look at her than, like, a strong bond between the two. :)

I imagine when I look at this, the nose pointed very far down, and the eyes gazing into each other. You could do some GORGEOUS eye effects on that dragon that could look VERY cool! I do also agree that maybe the harness should go? Or maybe she shouldn't be holding it. Maybe you could have her hand on the side of the dragon's snout that we can't see, like she's caressing his cheek? :)

Thanks jackie! thats a great idea. I will see what I can do about it:)

Noctourne: thanks! Im glad you like it:) I like your idea with the sparkling eyes. stars we need stars! hehe. The hand on the cheek thing I believe in too.

Right now I have ignored the dragon (thinking what to do with him)
and started coloring the girl and the background. any comments are welcome!
(yeah the arm looks like crap right now:P)
