Tag As FavoriteComment		I had to scan this one in two pieces and put it back together. Though alot was not scanned the size of the original is 16x20. I hated to resize it but got to for Elfwood. Done in oil paint and took forever.

Wow, that is awesome. I'm personally afraid of paints, they don't come with erasers 10 Anyways, Just a friendly hint. Most animal wings go from the shoulder to about the rump to provide more forward lift. Otherwise I love your work, your attention to shading is great and your picture has allot of expression.

:-) Samantha CrystalBlueDragon James replies: "Truth be known we all have our own thought of how and what a dragon looks like. I did try the bigger wing idea in the original sketching... it covered up to much so cut it down a bit. I am glad that the shading came out the way it did. It took a long time to get them to look that way."

sweet picture, but do you mind if I nag you a bit on the perspective?
Drawing from this perspective is indeed challenging. but the dragon looks like (s)he is looking over it's shoulder at the wyvern-thing, but the wyvern thing is BEHIND it. It's sorta like one of those optical-illusion things.

but yeah, nagging aside, this pic rules.

13 Samantha CrystalBlueDragon James replies: "I know the perspective is very strang on it. I dont mind abit of nagging either... sometimes it is a usefull tool later. The feathered dragon is more to the side and front grabbing the tail... The head on the white dragon just looked better over the shoulder... Thanks though!"

.......I'll never be able to do anything like this, especially not with oil paint! It doesn't really matter that it took forever, the outcome was extroardinary.

Cool! Remindes of another pic like this that was done by another artist. I like the while dragon! Great stuff! Keep'em up!

A very good and difficult angle to paint 2 dragons, But they look natural, and to look for other attackers is normal for dragons. I should know, I paint many dragons. I seen many flying around i MY mind.
