Description

Another commission drawing for amazing @KARMALOW ! Yeah, another😅 I thought like it would be boring to draw another sketch with digital coloring, so I decided to make this drawing to be more special, since I want to use my painting skill in some future projects. And, of course, painting drawing is a sign of my appreciation. There are still some people that deserve paintings, and I hope I'll draw some for them later.

As for the character drawn here, he's the same wolf character you've already seen in my previous works in different forms. He is originally a grey anthropomorhic wolf with special red markings under his eyes and a red headband.

While dragonifying him I left his eye markings. There were no need in the headband, so I coloured some limb plates with red like author suggested on his draft he sent to me before the New Year.

As for the actual painting, I want the dragon to look cool! I even missed fixing the wings part, which are still my weak point I hope to fix in later drawings. Why such background? I love early mornings and late evenings. It's a dawn for sure. I want it to be a dawn of both of mine and @KARMALOW 's art, since we both had our years of skipped art because of lack of inspiration and reason to improve.

My reason is simple. To create better dragons. To be proud of myself. To gain enough money to help my family. Commissions are my lifebuoy now. I have to promote myself better, so I will update my page design in next two months to show how I grew up as an artist last years.


Also, this painting was drawn on a piece of carton I took on my work. I hope I will gain enough money soon to allow myself a proper canvas. I don't know how to evaluate my work. I do coloured fullbodies for 50$ now, but I feel like I have to set a higher price soon...

If you ask, me, you outdid yourself yet again, Dnipro! This is a wonderful dragon! You did most amazing with turning the owner's suggestion into such a majestic beast. The pose, the setting, the details, the lighting, everything seems to be incredible. I quite like how you set him up in a pose that is clearly showing the dragon's power and majesty, displaying his grand wings, yet he doesn't feel threatening at all. Maybe it's just me, but from the way he's arching his neck, interest or curiosity seems to be hiding behind his powerful pose. I think leaving the red markings under his eyes was a good decision, it enchants some more vivid colours to his appearance up there. Like saying that "don't look at how large and menacing my body is, instead, gaze up here, into my eyes, which show the truth of my soul." The sunrise was also an excellent choice for this work! Like you, I can never get bored of it, and the flying flock of birds in the background just make it even more beautiful and natural. Also, the gorgeous sky also looks like the flag of your country, which is pretty neat in my opinion. Like how it is the case with so many of your works, I can't stop admiring this new painting. You have done amazing again, my friend! You never cease to amaze. Keep it up! :clap: :clap: :clap:
