"Wer würde sich mir schon in den Weg stellen..." waren seine Worte als er sein Gesicht zu einem breiten, gemeinen Grinsen verzog. Er würde bekommen was ihm zustand und nicht einmal das Wetter vermochte es ihm seine Stimmung zu trüben, so sicher war er sich bei seinem Vorhaben...

He is a *not so neat* "Kronen-Kragen-Drache", the English translation for that would be "Crown-Collar-Dragon" (an invention by me )
Here is also a translation for that lil text there above (which is in German):

"Who would dare to stand in my way..." he said while a broad and evil grin appeared on his face. He would get what he deserves and not even the weather was able to ruin his mood due of his total sureness concerning his plan.

I'm totally happy about how this turned out and I'm happy that I managed it to finish this before I go onto my lil trip tomorrow. :)
I have other stuff in the works too but I wanted to finish this first.

All done from a scanned in pencil sketch using PS CS2. Many many layers, layer effects, light effects and masks.

I hope you like it. :)

Bad Ideas, by Suzidragonlady, pretty much blew my mind the moment I saw it. The rendering is crisp and precise, with excellent detail to lighting and texture. You can feel the weather, rather than just see it. The use of color temperature is smart, leaving one fiery area in a cool blue composition, which draws your eye to the focus target like a magnet. The character design is interesting, and the expression is such a powerful one--radiating a mirthful malevolence--that it energizes what would otherwise be a very simple composition. That grin is simply infectious; I'm grinning as I type this. This combination of technical excellence with emotional impact and interest ensures the piece to be a winner.

lovely lighting

FreakyRoseChild Says:

Great job!, i enjoy the fact that its not a full size picture, and the way he's leaning.
not to many people like that, but the coloring and the lighting really take the effect in the picture,
did you color this on the computer with a program, or with paints?
