"Wyvern`s rage" by Eleonora Bruk

i like the angle of the neck/head (i've tried in the past to do that angle and failed every time)
so well done Eleonora :0)

Eleonora Bruk replies: "thanx and try to visit this page in about 10 days-I`ve done some changes to this pic! the angle is no problem at all-go to FARP on Elfwood, look for William Li`s page and there is everything explained and shown, plain and simple! I`ve really learnt something about body there!"

As said above, you did that head and neck angle very well! I haven't been able to do that yet! Nice horns, and expression too!

Eleonora Bruk replies: "thanx! if you`re having trouble with the angle, I suggest you go to FARP page-I`ve learnt that from William Li`s learn-to-draw-body page! it`s easy-you must first try with the stickmen (not a joke!). please, visit my page in 10 days, because I`ve done some changes to Draconian Rage and would like your opinion about this new version!"

Isn't he or she technically a wyvern? dragons have front legs and wings, But i like the face. ( i spent like a week reading the summarized mythology for like too many creatures )

Eleonora Bruk replies: "Yes, I know that she`s a wyvern, but it semmed nicer if the pic was named Draconian rage. Though you got me thinking...maybe I could call this Wyvernian rage? Hm? I`ll think about it, I promise. It sounds kinda cool on the second thought..."

I really like the expression on her face.
Great detail and shading!

OMGOMGOMG I luv u! I hace been having a fit about how many retarded dragons with to many fingers and incapable of flight but this guy rocks! Actually, he doesnt have enough fingers but at least the wings are in proportion with proper arm skeletal structure! Other Dragon Artists: Take note!!!

I hate to criticize when I can't do even as well, much less better, but here goes.

The wing strut bones are far too small and tapered to support the weight of the creature.

Look at Harry Potter, the Gryphon in the movie "Prisoner of Azkaban". A heavy, rubust creature, taking off is a real task, especially with a rider. Though it manages to look graceful in the air, the wing size in all dimensions requires some careful folding (and a little cheating) to not overshadow the creature on the ground.

Your wing (especially on the viewer's left) looks far too graceful and tapered to support the creature.

I do like the emotion of the piece, though - and your pencil technique is quite good.

Eleonora Bruk replies: "*blushes* Thank you so much! This is what I call constructive criticism, and I am aware of all the things you said. Hopefully, my drawing technique will improve...meanwhile, I'll be around and trying "

I almost always start with the eyes...
