SciFi and Fantasy Art After the Battle by Alison Hanslow

"Kiara emerged from beneath her dragon's wing, one arm hanging limp at her side, it's makeshift bandage barely stemming the flow of blood from her wound. She walked toward the waiting crowd of civilians, warriors and healers, wavering slightly on an injured leg. Her face was stony and did not show the relief she felt at the fact that none of her own warriors had been lost in the battle. Still, the creatures that had been slain in the air were not Aiya'sari, nor any creation of Celesta's, but innocent men and women who believed in their cause as much as she, and it was something that weighed heavily on her conscience."

Kind of a follow up of 'Aerial Battle'. It looks better as a larger picture, the expression on Kiara's face is taken away by the size - I'll put the full version at http://s31.photobucket.com/albums/c371/sorceress_kiara/ when I fix it up properly.

2 Jan 2008	Bryan A Hill	Loading... Ok Ally you wanted feedback so here it is. First I'm Bryan (phlanx) a fourth year AAU student in San Fransico (Illustration major). I can tell by the amount of drawings you have that you are passionate about your work. In this Piece I like the fact that you utilized all of the space of the page and didn't draw a small character and a small dragon in the corner somewhere that drives me nuts! Your concept of anime is nice and the hair and eyes are not to bad either. That said there are some quick things you can do to really make this piece POP! 1) Don't draw in every little scale on the dragon i know you may think that you need it to complete the drawing or that you want more detail but believe me sometimes less is more. Let the viewers mind make up the rest of the scales. 2) The wing of the dragon is a little unclear toward the top of the page. It seems that the spine turns into the wing and that really doesn't make scense. If the wing is continuing off the page add some shading closer to the finger like sections but leave the middle membrain lighter. This can give the effect of transparency to the wings because now it is diffcult to tell that the wings continue off the page. 3) lastly lower the hind foot of the dragon it is way to high up. Ok maybe these aren't really quick adustments but trust me if there is one animal i love and know it is the dragon. Later -Phlanx
