Description

Done !!
Here is my entry for the Steampunk dragon contest - Digital art category :




No stocks or reference used, just my mental library and weird imagination :nuu: !

 Quite four days of work on this artwork. Almost 6 to 7 hours to compose and sketch ... And a lot of time to colour it.
But a ton of fun and a quite new lighting challenge for me.
As always constructive comment are welcome !

Getting strong charizard vibes here; I think it’s the orange and teal colour combo.


There is a lot going on in here, so many little details for the eye to explore. All of the tools, the jars full of nuts and bolts, and all of those textures. There is rough stone, scratched metal, polished metal, dull metal, skin, scales, fabric, glass, and at least two different types of wood, and every material has the appropriate shading and highlights on it too.


My one complaint, as someone who has inhabited multiple workshops in my life, is that this place really needs some more lighting. Trying to work somewhere so dim just seems like an invitation to repeated eye strain to me. That one desk lamp/magnifier and overhead track light (love that it is quite literally a track light; that’s a really cool design), isn’t enough for a space that size.


The dragon really ought to move their tail out of the way. That is a tripping hazard and an accident just waiting to happen.
