Yay! More loading screens! The first one I decided to color in pencil because coloring in photoshop takes soooooo long, so I decided to do the base coloring with pencil, then add more deatils in photoshop.

The second one I don't know what to do with. It looks like it's missing something, but I don't know what. (Those big spikey thingys are supposed to be Ice Claws scaled waaaay up) I also don't know how to color most of it, or what to do for the sky. It's supposed to be a Dimension of Air, so things like wind, ice, etc are the main themes. I'm thinking of coloring this one in pencil first too, but I dunno how. (Oh, and sorry for the paleness, the scanner was a bit too bright and my pencil marks were a bit too pale)

CnC please!

Do those things fly? Their wings look rather puny to carry their weight.

Well they're... umm... really folded? Any bigger and they would take up too much room. But if I do one where it's flying, then I will of course make the wings bigger. It's just that they do take up a lot of room...

Yeah, but that's what makes them dragons.. It doesn't matter if wings take over 50% of the whole figure since it's dragon and those would really need huge wings to carry their weight.

Good point.

I also really need to work on how to draw wings folded. They look weird at the moment.

The second one is actually quite a nice base for a good scenery picture. Minus the two dragons.

Might remove them later, still can't decide.

I'll be adding windy effects, so they won't be very visible.

Update on the Dimension of Air one. Vectorized, and done basic coloring.

Yes, I know it looks a bit bright at the moment. Adding shading and texture will fix that.

Meh. You know what? I'm gonna get rid of the whole vector thing. Well maybe not get rid of, but set the width of the lines to like 0.01 or something, and then shade it like crazay.

Yes, I am aware it is a triple post.

Vectors tend to get messy when you use strokes. Try using the Gradient Mesh tool, then exporting to PSD so you can use some nice brushes to add texture and depth.

That's what I'm gonna do.

I'm hoping to get a tablet for my birthday, so that would help a lot.

At the moment I'm still working on the ruins one in the other thread.
