Fabulous work Vincent! I hope we still do get to see more of your infamous dragons in the future even after your tee + calender projects... Love it !

Andy--Jones  03/23/08 @933

Bloomin brilliant dragon YET again Vincentdudemaman! Good luck with the calendar that should look ace!

GULLUANIME  03/23/08 @938

Yo Wallace Hmmm. As usual the details themselves are fantastic - I don't feel this one as much as the last one though man. A couple of things that were getting to me were the level on both rendered and colour contrast where the dragon meets the rock - the rock is a little blurred whereas the dragon is perfectly crisp. Also, i find that the dragons head gets a little lost in the rock and the wing - i mean i know the yellow of the eye draws you to that point, but not instantly, as the lighting around that wing and the face seems too similar - difficult to judge depth there Anyway like i said, the details are fantastic - you are a master of them. Just thought you might like a bit of a critique 8/10

Wallace  03/23/08 @959

Thanks Gary, Andydude, Zeyneb, Gulzar Evan: thanks for your input! About the head being 'hidden', personally I like it that way as it integrates with the background But perhaps it needs a darker shadow underneath..hmm About the rocks being 'blurry', I just made scratches with a 3 pixel hardbrush like I always do, I dunno why it tends to be this way lol, but thanks for pointing it out.

JeffMD  03/24/08 @204

another great work here, Vincent! just fantastic. I agree with mephistozor about the blurry rocks on the right lower side. but great overall! a 10 for me here!

astemu  03/24/08 @268

wow .... great detail ..

Fuchsia  03/24/08 @641

there's a thing you'd have to explain to me cause it really fails my comprehension.... HOW can you go to bed after drawing all those scales and actually sleep !!!! great work as always!! Mesmerizing!

deandude  03/24/08 @810

cool dragon vince! I agree about what's already been mentioned, but still a great painting nonetheless...

twistoflime  03/24/08 @816

Again, outstanding work on the dragon! Composition is also well done. Even before I read the other comments I too noticed the DOF issue between the dragon and the rocks, which causes the dragon to appear pasted. One other idea to consider is to dirty the dragon up a bit more so that it isn't so technically perfect. Break some scales, add some old injuries, dirt and grime.

Wallace  03/24/08 @846

Thanks Jeffrey, Astemu, Deandude Tracy: I am making those suggestions on the dragon as we speak adding scratches and irregularities... Thanks for your input!

ersen-t  03/24/08 @870

great dragon. good composition and colors. I think the wings are too small.

twistoflime  03/24/08 @873

One other area I think you could adjust is that black line that runs down the back. It's a little too perfect and all black which gives it an outlined look.

cupcake  03/24/08 @873

Great work Vincent. +10

SandraS  03/24/08 @970

Another crazy dragon full of scales! It looks absolutely wonderful! ..And congrats with the calendar. You're lucky. I love the wings in this one, you paint dragons just the way I imagine them myself.

Wallace  03/25/08 @015

Thanks Mary, Sandra Erse: I tend to agree, it wouldn't fit into the canvas unfortunately, they (my client) are very 'anal' about that Tracy: yes I'm adjusting that as well... To all: I'm trying to fix the issues as mentioned, I should be able to post the updated image by tommorrow EDIT: changes are made

MsMichelleLynn  03/25/08 @322

I think that the Spielberg team should hire you for Jurassic Park 1V. Awesome work Vincent! I'd personally enjoy seeing more tones which come closer to black and white here to give more tonal range. Details are excellent and piece looks so life-like. Very nice!

Audri  03/25/08 @517

Amazing work ..

purplerose  03/25/08 @585

Awesome work. The rocks look a bit too smooth though. Could use more contrast.

mamoun  03/25/08 @662

Great work Top Mark +10

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee nice work^_^!!!!!!!nice nice nice^_^

chickenfingers  03/26/08 @646

Smashing painting, sir. (Smashing? The hell does that mean, anyway?) The details are a joy, as usual, and I really like the pose of this bad boy. Other parts which are specially delish: the red glow coming from the pores of the rock and his wings (beautifully translucent but also strong enough to stand up to, umm, dragon fights and other mischief ). I would like to see a touch more thickness in the spines along the middle of his back (where it curves out to the right). So, uh, where do you hire your dragon models?

soheil  03/26/08 @799

very cool.superb. +10

Roadrunner  03/26/08 @907

Excellent work. (Maybe a little too much on the red channel).

Excorbac  03/27/08 @003

woow volumes are very well rendered indeed. But "anatomically" speaking, the wings seem not wide enough for this beast if it has to fly. Anyway top marks

zelazny  03/27/08 @156

very cool! Z

Wallace  03/27/08 @226

Thanks Socrates, Soheil, Eyal, Vincent, Scott Kerry: thanks for your kind words!

soulja  03/29/08 @054

wow, very beautiful! the rocks look a bit strange, compared to the dragon.. a little bit unsharp or something, i don't know... +9

Wallace  03/29/08 @249

Thanks Alexandre, Mariano, Daykandude(!), John, Yavuz, Rob

ARTOONATOR  03/29/08 @404

Every time I get back to it the piece gets more appealing. But I still have issues with the difference in sharpness on one level though!

TepoY  03/30/08 @330

WAHHHHH your really a mASTERRRR!!!!!!! crazy detailS

ethegaurde  03/30/08 @376

Nice dragon! Are the wings the right size? If anything, compared to the dragon the rock almost feels like a weak point. Great job!

valentine9  04/02/08 @998

Cool dragon.very crisp and clean. maybe too much difference in styles between the dragon and rocks. 8/8

CreativeSchism  04/02/08 @226

I always seem to smile every time I see yoou interpretations of Dragons! Always beautifully created! Kinda wish the rocks weren't as blurry but still, fantastic work!

blackshad  04/04/08 @494

your dragon is... magnificent can't say anything else, its perfection, the pose, the texture, the lighting... perfect well done +10

UmbraTheory  04/05/08 @569

life091  04/09/08 @736

i cant believe what my eyes can see

curlyhair  04/13/08 @498

Awesome work! I love your dragons! You can make a patches of them and I'll still love them I think you could try to add some third color there - but it's your choice after all. Beautiful 10!

Madanapale  04/15/08 @778

Love it!! Wonderful work! Top marks Vincent! Carlos

cgaddict  04/29/08 @096

You paint Dragons so flawlessly at this point, always well done. This is one of my favorites from you. The composition and use of colors is striking. +7/7
