Description
A loose painting commission for the lovely petaldragon, ~Zyleeth and her boy, Akhor.
I'm a bit crazy busy lately with all sorts of exciting painting and so I'm limited in how many comments I can reply to - but thank you so much if you do take the time.
I read everything and I try to get back to people with questions or if I have interesting thoughts!
I love dorky, mushy couple pictures, I'm such a girl.
Tools: Adobe Photoshop CS4, Wacom Intuos 4 tablet
Time: 7 hours
Music: My best bud would be terribly disappointed in me for admitting that Kings of Leon's 'Sex on Fire' provided some of the soundtrack for this. So instead I'll recommend you go listen to Arcade Fire.

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactI really love the palette of this...and hey, who doesn't love a little dragon love from time to time?! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="
" title=" (Big Grin)" />Definitely lots of good stuff going on here...good forms, masses, textures, etc.
There are two main things that I think the piece would benefit from:
First, right now everything's kinda..."clumped" in the center, creating a relatively circular (at least, oval) shape. As I said, there are good forms in here, but it feels like you're really avoiding the edges, and the piece feels "trapped" by them. I think you'd end up with something very, very dynamic if you let at least the red guy's front wing stray off the image to the left, and maybe the girl's left wing also. Doing likewise with the red guy's tail on the right edge would really activate that edge too. The "mass" of wing and tail and foot at the bottom creates almost a horizontal line at the bottom of the image...it would be nice to offset those somewhat and let the forms break out into something more dynamic. (The forms are there...their placement could just use some tweakage!) I'd hesitate to let things stray off the bottom of the image though...it seems like that would anchor the piece too much for the light feel I think you're going for. If anything, let them leave off the top and sides, and I think you'll be golden!
So that's the hard thing. The second thing's a bit easier...
The blues you've got in the sky in the upper left and right are really nice and provide a lovely contrast to all the warm tones in the piece. It would be good to see those incorporated onto the red guy's back scales, and maybe his wing also where the sun isn't shining through directly. That would probably really make that light through the wing membrane pop and bring more focus to the guy's face where it crosses the wing.
All that said, I really do like the piece...the contrast of darks and lights, warm and cool colors is very nice, and I really love the painterly style. Good stuff! Hope this is helpful!
Cheers!
