Nice work. I love the backdrop but I don’t think the creatures sit on top of it quite right.

#202

personally i really like it’s ambiguity :slight_smile: (regarding the subject discussion )

#203

I suppose if you want a riddle, it could be, “How the heck to these guys get up on those creatures’ backs?” :smiley:

Jeez, you know, i never even thought of that…Thats like seriously deep sh*t man huff coff

#204

… double post…

#205

pkneeshaw - Thanks for the input! It would be useful to know in what way?

Neubius - Yep, then you can make up your own story!

LightSovereign - Now you won’t get to sleep tonight :smiley:

#206

Wonderful piece you have here :slight_smile: I like the painter-style in the picture.

#207

really one of my favorite entry and artist also, really like the composition and all other aspect of this piece but the one that really caught my attention is the sense of motion of each ‘dragon’ it is really fun to look at. :thumbsup:

MartinNielsen - Thanks! :slight_smile:

artizakO - Cheers, appreciated :thumbsup:

Actually I looked at your entry on my home PC over the weekend and I didn’t see the seemingly over saturated foreground colours I got on my work monitor. It did seem a little strange when judged against the work in your portfolio.

In future I’ll double check stuff like that before I go opening my big mouth.

Soz mate…

pkneeshaw - No problem, I just wondered what bit you meant. My work monitor’s rubbish too, everything’s super-saturated and most dark colours simply show up dark grey :slight_smile: Still, it’s useful to hear what people see on other monitors because you never know what people are using to view stuff.

Crazy good !
i am wondering how those fantastic creatures can just float in the air. fantastic feeling. No wings at all. just an unknown energy.

great.

#218

Maybe they’ve “gas sacks” - organs filled with hydrogen or helium (which is rather rare but it’s fantasy anyways)? Having said that - this image is definately one of my favorites from this contest - magnificient!:drool:

I think painterly works are a bit underapreciated around here in favor of “photorealistic” photoshop art - but unjustly so.

The best of luck in the contest!

Dimitrij.
