Description Em, well, I was bored and sick of seeing little chibis evrywhere. I needed to speedpaint D:

I... I somewhat did this in 20 minutes, and I am amazed by how quick I managed to get something like this.

I really like it. I think I'll refine it and post an updated version later. And desaturate this version. But, seriously, I miss dragons so much.

So, since I was reading the third book of Eragon's serie, I tought 'hey, let's go and do saphira, she is a dragon, and it could be cool'

I know it probably is innacurate, and I don't care.

By far the best rendition of Saphira I have yet to see. Far better than the book cover, they should hire you for any future books he writes hehe ^^

Your speedpaints are so much better than things I spend days on. ;o;

Honestly, I love this piece. The colouring and the highlights just look amazing. It is also one of the great works that doesn't need a full body picture to show how talented an artist can be.

I love the colors you chose. They're so eye catching and this picture is do dramatic in ways.

The speed painting/fading also gives it this ghostly spector look. It's very mystical and haunting and adds a nice touch.

LOVE THIS o3o -faves+-

-steals your digital painting skills-
This is awesome c: It looks how I've imagined Saphira.

I haven't read the third in the Eragon series, but I think they are alright. Pretty much just a basic heros quest but still interesting.

Karikinet In reply to Airveia [2009-08-11 12:18:00 +0000 UTC]

Bah, Saphira isn't really complicated - a blue dragon. I don't think people have very different views of her XD

I am not a crap dead fan, just that it help killing the time, instead of drawing 24/7. I would say they are good, but sometimes really lacks originality.

Airveia In reply to Karikinet [2009-08-11 21:35:26 +0000 UTC]

Well, dragons can have all kinds of body shapes, lol.

True. When reading it, I feel like I'm watching Starwars, since they are very similar in the way of characters.

I read the first two on a 13 hour drive to Canada. Nice, light reading, I guess.

I love you digital coloring so much- it so full of texture and life. I think you need to do a coloring tutorial ;-;

Karikinet In reply to BreannaWelsh [2009-08-11 12:10:57 +0000 UTC]

Gosh, do you even know how jealous I am of yours & I just adore the way you're able to make a soft atmosphere... And your clouds are epic win 8C

I don't think a tutorial from me on this subject would be useful -- It is purely a matter of pratice, and I don't know how I could explain it.

BreannaWelsh In reply to Karikinet [2009-08-11 14:46:01 +0000 UTC]

Oh, well, thanks But you're coloring has such a unique coloring style, its easy to spot anywhere.
And I suppose so, but you could always just take a series of screenshots, and there would be no need to explian o:
