Ooo! That's really cool :) I like that choice of colors. The glowing blue and the eye against the black is stunning!

:D Hehehe thankies! Half the credit must go to my best friend... she had the idea of purpley blues.. ^^ I had the idea of the green eye and black body. So wouldn't look as good without her input. :)

aarghh Wish I had a better monitor.

He looks so cuddly and velvety and cat-like, and scary at the same time..... I just love those blues you've used.

Thanks Raven! :D So you actually like the scaling? It doesn't look out of place..?

strudel, I looked at it on my phone and could barely see the shading or scales... Couldn't wait to get back on my laptop again haha. HD Monitors make EVERYTHING look AMAZING! I want one -_-

Hehe yay! :D Thank you!!! I'm a big sucker for blues ;P so I wasn't sure if it actually looked good or I was just being biased.

I'm just on a laptop. The screen isn't awful, but I'm sure it would be better on my "proper" monitors.

Well, I LOVE the blues, maybe I'm just biased too :D. The colour of the whole piece, the blues through the greys, I LOVE.

Just happened upon this thread, Kinny. I'm loving your art! Loved the anime-inspired baby rendering of Wendy's Nikolai, and that dragon especially just floored me! Wow!

Funny thing is, I went through a few phases with my thoughts on the dragon. I immediately fell in love with the pencils. (I draw as well, or at least I used to. Been a while.)
Then when I saw your original update, I deflated a little, thinking you'd gone too dark. (See? I was thinking as a penciller, not as a painter who could still add to the piece after the original bit of painting.)
And then you added the gray scales for the contrast and I was in love, again! A love that only grew with the addition of the background lightning! Sweet!

Please keep posting, Kinny!

@Jen: I think the known artist count is closer to 5 or 6, actually. At least, that I know of.

hahahaha I was learning with pastels, it is a constant to-ing and fro-ing between, "I've totally messed this up, it's going in the bin" to "that's not so bad". Kinny's seem to move forward in a linear way, not a total seesawing between disaster and not-so-much-disaster like mine.

Ahhh haha. Yeah, my hubby now owns the proper computer with the huge amazing HD monitor.. *whimpers* I miss that monitor.. it used to be mine for my art :'( Thank you! :D Haha, I had to put blue in..it just looked...wonky.... without it. ^^

Haha yeah I originally thought I went far too dark, but then i took the white background away and was fairly sure it was a good darkness. LOL, Oh you have no idea how much I was hating this piece when I first started the background... *eye twitch* I almost scrapped it and re-started..but just couldn't bring myself to do it.

Haha, I'm multiple.. penciller, painter, digital artist... pretty much everything. But this IS a digital piece which makes it easier with the layering.

Awww thank you Anansi! :D Hehehe....the lightning and rocky background was completely my friends idea, I just had to draw it. ;) I shall!

Even though this is a digital piece, i still draw the way I usually do with pencils/paint the way i do with paints. *absolutely loves my tablet and pen* So everything is 'drawn' free-hand the way I would on paper. I HATE all those 'tools' that make perfect smooth lines etc.. I prefer to just draw normally. :)

And here's a smaller version, which makes it look a tad more detailed... to me.
