Hehe, yeah, I guess there is plenty of oriental elements here, huh.
I suppose it really does show the things that have infulenced me.
Thanks for the review. :)
First off, love the border, is that Celtic? Most of all the dragon just stands out in awesome! Such wonderful detail. Great job on your creation, would love to see more amazing art from you.
Thank you many for sharing this on NG!
EchoRun responds:
Thank you! :D
I guess the boarder is celtic, but I suppose that kind of pattern could be used in all sorts of cultures.
This is a very nicely done piece of artwork. I know it must have taken a while, and I don't really have many criticisms for you! Good work!
The intricate design was honestly the best, and my favorite part of the piece. The dragon is done very well, especially in the midsection and head areas. The scales have a very good feel of indestructible power to them due to the way that you have drawn them, which is very good as well.
The only real complaint that I can think to make about the piece was that you could have brightened the colors up a tad bit in the background to help further define the shape of the dragon in the foreground, and possibly added colors to the dragon himself. While there is nothing to draw the eye away from the dragon, it would be nice to see him colored up.
I also love the Samurai Jack feeling that this picture gives off. I don't know if it is just me alone that can sense this, but it has a very similar design to the characters and creatures off of that show. I would say you have done very well with this piece, and I hope to see more from you in the future. Happy Drawing!

I did consider colouring the dragon but at the time nothing came to mind that wouldn't make him look cheesy, over-worked or garish. I also tried boosting the colours in the background but again it just became too much for the peice and it started to look cluttered. However thinking about it now and with more art experence under my belt, I do have an idea of what I could do with colouring more art like this one, so future ones may be more colourful. :)
Thanks for the review. :)
Oh my gosh... my brother draws stuff like this, and I know this must have taken hours to perfect. Well done, that is one cool Irish-knot dragon.
EchoRun responds:
Thank you. :)
That's so cool. It reminds me of the old Welsh tapestries.
