SciFi and Fantasy Art Something BAD by Mariette S. Rose

The guy with the sword...not mine, he's done by Rikke. The dragon head in back...mine, done with a computer mouse. The coloring job on both characters, mine. The idea to have him say 'There's something BAD behind me isn't there?' was my idea. I think it's funny. Go to Rikke's Art Gallery to see the original!

Update 11-18-2001: A bit of other information for anyone coming from TWOC, this picture got the ball rolling for the idea of Mitch.

26 Sep 2000	Victoria R. Hershiser	Loading... What's wrong with a cute dragon? This actualy doesn't strike me as particularly cute, just cool. How did you get the cool scale-texture? I have a dodge option that can lighten an area, I chose the base color and made it look scaley with dabs of that option, not worrying if I didn't get a smooth look. Then once I did that I wound up creating another layer to work on and made it all black, after I fooled around with the options a bit I got it to look the way it does.
14 Nov 2000	David Taylor	Loading... OH! WOW! How did you get that chainmail textture?????? clear throught looks all embarrised Anyway, realy great colouring job, nay incredable colouring jod cause you did it with a mouse. ((runs off screaming "Now that's a bad thing; right?!?")) First, the way I got the texture on the chainmail was a texture affect that was available in the computer painting program I have. Once I did all the shading where all the lights and darks would be, I just put that section on a different layer and applied the texture....that simple.Second, a mouse CAN be hard to color with because it tend to be a bit shaky. It takes a lot of patience....and a lot of undos...

7 Jan 2002	Cally G. Steussy	Loading... The quintessential "don't look now, but..." ^_^ This is a great picture. The only possible nitpick (which I have no right to use, since I've done it myself) is that the texture you used to make the armor is just a tich too obvious...
3 Feb 2002	Lysa	Loading... Creepy... that guy looks like a guy I know at school... (The guy with the honkin' big sword, not the dragon, =P)
20 Jul 2002	Mysterious commentator	Loading... Yup, theres something bad behind you alright!
26 Oct 2002	Dolphin Silverwolf (a.k.a. Chris Rosenbaum)	Loading... The dragon reminds me of someone I met at ComiCon. And the scary part was he was out of costume. I'm wondering about the sword, though...was that meant to be foreshortened, or was it meant to be that wide? I've never seen a broadsword so...well...broad.
3 Dec 2002	Carina ´CeL´ Larsson	Loading... love the dragon´s eye, it look so real and the sword from manga, the look so heavy I really wondering if a real person wold hold it with one hand but it is fantasy and there is no rules how big sword can be the picture is great
7 Dec 2002	Leanne 'Halo' Wall	Loading... Observant isn't he. grins Brilliant picture, the detail is brilliant, this must have taken you ages!
