SciFi and Fantasy Art Dancers by Jasper Schellekens


	i thought i would be interesting to try and make a human and dragon look like they're dancing. also i was curious to see how 'dotting' would make a dragon skin look. pretty satisfied, but those were a lot of dots... if anyone knows any other cool techniques that can express texture or light please tell me!!

12 Jun 2005	Vincent James Bernardo	Loading... Like the concept... Though I think dragons won't make excellent dance partners. What could happen when one accidentally steps on your toes huh..? Nice picture by the way! Must be very patient to draw all those dots... If you want other techniques, you might want to try hatching (many lines goin in one direction) and crosshatching (many lines that overlap each other to emphasize shadows). They are actually more basic than strippling (dotting) but the effect is much better if you ask me... Jasper Schellekens replies: "hi! notice the dancer's lack of feet yeah, those dots... i'm working on a picture which will have hatching and cross hatching. thanx for the techniques!"
12 Jun 2005	Wendy Bittnerová	Loading... I like the poses...the dragon has kind of a sly look to him. The stippling is lovely. Nice work! smiles
12 Jun 2005	Valerie Joanne Higgins	Loading... I like the wings and the underbite and the windblown hair. The dot shading is great! This is Valdary from LJ by the way! Jasper Schellekens replies: "hi valdary! thanx! those dots were a pain, not planning on doing something like that again any time soon."
1 Jul 2005	Kevin Avent	Loading... Oh SURE, that's how it always starts out...a little drink, a little dance...then BAM...somebody ends up as dinner! Just kiddin'. The shading is very cool and it must have taken forever. One thing you might try that can create a little more random effect is loading a short bristled brush with watered down india ink or paint and "flicking" it with your thumb onto the paper. You can mask off areas that you don't want to cover and change the angle and direction of the brush to get different looks. The above mentioned effect works really great on comics where you're showing blood spatter from a gun shot or something like that. Jasper Schellekens replies: "Oh! Sounds like a really good idea! i think i'm going to experiment with this techinque! thanx!"
1 Jul 2005	Jessica Warner	Loading... Ooh wow, excellent shading! And it kinda looks like the dragon's reeeeally concentrating, hee hee!
