SciFi and Fantasy Art: Celestial sleeper

This was originally the title page of one of my school art books (fantasy art class :) ). The dragon is seen curling around a ringed planet in blissfull slumber.

Yay! It's your fantasy art book cover thing! yay! I wish I had a scanner **pouts**
I want a dragon! I love the shading!

:-) Shelz Keast replies: "Maybe you can try purely digital work? Just using a program like photoshop or somthing?"

Very symbolic I think....absolutely wonderful!

:-) Shelz Keast replies: "When I did it there wasn't actually any symbolism intended. It was just an exercise for art class."

Very nice! I like how soft the dragons colors are.

:-) Shelz Keast replies: "Thanks, somtimes I'll colour a picture a bit too lightly though."

I like the way the tail merges with Saturn's ring

:-) Shelz Keast replies: "Thanks, I'm not sure where it was meant to be Saturn. Should do some more space art some time.Thanks for comment no. 200!"

Okay, I was thinking of going to Saturn, but there's no way you'll get me to go now, not with that giant dragon thing around it!

I checked my telescope just a few minutes ago, and although I didn't see it, I bet it's just hiding on the other side... waiting for me to try to go there! >.>

If I do go vacationing in the outer rim of the solar system, I'll probably have to go all the way to Neptune or something. I'm not stopping at Uranus either, I would never live down the jokes.

:-) Shelz Keast replies: "Well don't forget to take warm clothes if you do head out that way- I've heard it gets pretty chilly."

the colouring of this one is very very pretty2! i love how the tail turns into the ring of saturn... it also suits the circle the dragon is lying in - yeah, this is very cool2!

:-) Shelz Keast replies: "I think we had to draw a circle shaped fantasy image for this particular assignment."

Awwwww! I love the beautiful colours!
11 Apr 2008:-) Tiffany lishay manis
oh wow!this is neet! i love how u did this design

:-) Shelz Keast replies: "Thanks, it had to be circular as part of the assignment."

You have fantasy art lessons? That is unforgivable, very unfair and probably calculated to make me kill you, take a potion to make me look like you and take your place. I am INCREDIBLY envious.

Now to the art. Great! I love the idea of the dragon curling around the planet and the face is so well drawn, all peaceful and happy.........Eccellent pic! ^-^

:-) Shelz Keast replies: "Had, I had a course called somehting like "Drawing and Painting Fantasy Art". Though I tend to treat every art class as a fantasy art class. I can normally wrangle in some fantasy art to things like English too and atleast normal art to things like science. Perhaps you should raid youre local libary/bookshop for how to draw books. I’ve learnt most of what I know either from them or personal experience (i.e. practice). Or you can study the works of really good artists, I find that can be usefull too."

Thanx for the suggestions, I always annoy my teachers by sneaking dragons and fantasy into the most innocent assignment. As for the drawing books, I have 4 books on drawing manga and 1 on fantasy art, oh, and I have my wonderfully artistic mother! And I am studying amazing art right now! Thanx again. ^-^

:-) Shelz Keast replies: "If your mum’s artistic that’s going to be a great help. Mine claims she was artistic as a kid but she seems to have entirely given it up now. Dad doesn’t even pretend to have ever been artistic. "
