I made this in one and a half hour. Just wanted to make something quick. Well Halloween is coming and what is Halloween without the dragon of darkness. Mirnah is calling all the dark creatures to come out.

Background and Mirnah are both painted. The church is a photomanip.

I'm really loving the colour scheme here.I also like the decoration of the dragon's wings, and the way you represented its fire. Definitely one of the best works I've seen here so far.
BTW you should do a dragon for each element!

"HOLY CRAP."

date: June 30, 2009

I think the colors are what's making me have such strong reactions towards this. Wow. That is wicked. Now I'm *really* trying to come up with something useful in that regards. The one thing I see, though, is your dragon's wings and fingers. The wings would more properly function if they were modeled more like bat wings. What I mean is, for a dragon to be more anatomically correct, the dragon's wings are literally webbed arms and fingers, so there shouldn't be hands on top of hands, if you know what I mean. The webbed part of the dragon's wings are really extremely long webbed fingers.

The "hands on top of the wings" thing you have going on is really this if corrected: when you see a finger on top of a dragon's wing, it's really the thumb of the enormous webbed hand that makes up the wing. Dragon wings are palms-out. Some people like to web the thumb as well, but that's what that is in correct terms. There shouldn't be an extra hand on top of the wing. I had to look closely to notice that error, if you will. But keep that in mind. That's hardly an issue, anyway.

The colors are telling me to vote 12/10, 6/5.

"mad dragon"

date: June 22, 2009

I like how you added the shape of gothic window arcs in his wings.
I don't like the white edges around the tower in the lower left. makes it feel like it's cut-out. Sky's nice though. i hope one day i can paint skies like that.

Is he angry because somene tattooed his wings with glow in the dark ink while he was sleeping? that stuff happens you know ;)

I'm really loving the colour scheme here. And the decoration of the dragon's wings, and the way you represented its fire. Definitely one of the best works I've seen here so far.

If I may make a small critique, the perspective of the buildings gets a little strange near the top - you have a bright red line there that's more horizontal than the one a little further down the building. Maybe if you removed or fixed that one line, it would look better.
