Artist's Comments
Took me long enough! Poor dragon gal and her little buddy have been sitting unfinished on my computer for months now. It was slow going on a mouse for a while but once I got the hang of coloring with my tablet the whole process seemed to pick up speed. I think I was trying for two different lightsources. Not sure what it is I came up with. Right or not I'm pretty happy with the final piece.
*m-u-d-c-a-t, who has been doin awesome cel shade work, tossed some suggestions and tips at me about it. I STILL would've been sitting here scratching my head and wondering what I could do to make this somehow easier without them. Thank you, Garry!
The background was inspired by =alexds1's gorgeous piece End of Summer and `cheeks-74's lineless backgrounds. I wanted something simple and autumny and that chaos is what I came up with.
Lots of things to pick at and crit, I'm sure! So haveatchoo!

Devious Comments
CommentsLooks Great!!!
Is this the one you mentioned in  's gallery earlier ?Yeah! Knew I was forgetting to mention somethin! His tips about cel shading definitely helped me out! And thank you!

 One thing this could really use is a few sharp highlights, especially on the hair closest to where your light source is, and maybe another on the back of the dragon's neck. I almost wish you had used a more neutral green for the dragon, letting the values create separation rather than the chroma (hue) difference. Also be careful with shadow values. The parts of the hair that are lit are actually darker in value than the shadows of the white cloth. All of that said, I can see you're definitely improving. I love your choices of colours for this one; they just fit so well with the line work. Sorry for blabbing on and on. I hope my comments were helpful. -- Avatar by =neekko Help||*watercolorists||#traditional I really like the detail you gave the scales on the dragon and the lineless background really set's the characters apart in the image.
Very nice work. I love the way you made the little dragon's wings see through.
 --  How beautiful - I absolutely love that little dragon, and the cel-shading is gorgeous.
-- My family! ~hiddentohru ~assiah ~sweetyt ~squirrelneko ~spectralaesthete ~angelshade ~RkoZukin ~fou-chan GIANT ART SALE! Looks great Jenn!!! I love this pic.
-- ~Chris loving the little dragon so cute
 -- "Only boring people say they are bored." -Rachel Ray So glad you finished it up, looks awesome.
-- When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is an idiot. I love the sharp contrast between her claret hair and the lime-greenness of the dragon--and the subtler green tone to her skin is a nice touch. :3 It doesn't act like a lurid opposite, like the dragon does. And I like her expression and the movement in this piece.
I'd crit, but I don't see that many flaws, personally. It's gorgeous. -A.C. -- No matter how subtle the wizard, a knife between his shoulderblades will seriously cramp his style. -- Vlad Taltos (Writer: Steven Brust) |

49 Daily Lit Deviations for July 3, 2009*DailyLitDeviations
 reports, 1d 3h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on.
