This should be interesting.

My first post ever to a CG related forum, and all I have to offer that I feel is even remotely up to par is 2D work. :rolleyes: I'm a 3rd year college student who just recently decided to concentrate on 3D animation for a major, so I have nothing spectacular there yet. If that's any excuse. I would wait until I did, but I'd really like to get my toes wet in these forums soon.

At any rate, I'm no stranger to critique, so bash away.

Sweet water dragon! Very original idea in my opinion. I remember my first post here, i was nervous as hell ;)

Don't worry too much if no one replies to your post. I've found that unless its god-like in skill and creativity it won't get too many replies.

Can't wait to see what more you have to offer.

I love it! :D

I like the colors you chose for the image very much; including your style that you went with (it's very unique). Nice job! :beer:

Love the style, love the colors, love the concept. The only thing that I am having a hard time with is the nose. I wish I could be more specific but I have figured it out yet. 4 stars!!

Thanks for the comments everyone! And the info on this forum. ;) This was painted in Painter Classic, with the watercolor tool, all on one layer, which is a pain, but I can't get Painter 7 to run without it performing an illegal operation every 2 seconds.

I believe I'm going to attempt a model of this nature in LW too, only with spines modelled more after fish fins than sea anenomes. Should prove enlightening to me.

Nice work :)

But do you want to be an artist or animator?

This is an important question :D
