The Fly which wants to be a Dragon

28 Aug 2020, 21:09

First Wip Look into the Final Image. Fly with Base Flats (Will be the Dragons Fly Concept)

i actually wanted to do it all traditional and color it with watercolor but i am going mixed media now and do the lineart traditional, carry that over to photshop and color it then there. additional watercolor version might still be something i consider but lets finish the lineart/composition first
dragons, clouds, maybe a moon next.

First Dragons added. Placing is still not Final and i consider to Print it later out and Reink it since Linearts Varry now due to different Pens and Scaling.

Edit

Edit2 - Final Lineart

Final Version. I dont think i will manage to make it better by just tweaking around so thats it from my side.
When you have some input to improve it feel free to post it and i might try to incorporate it when it benefits the piece.

@Molambo, I liked the other way better. I think the dark reads more naturally... at least for me. Maybe there's a middle ground that would be perfect. But for me, I'm leaning toward the image with the darker dragon in the foreground.

@Eric-Droke
in term of keep him out of the focus and lead the eye to the char in the middle, yes. the dark one works better but i got pointed out that it doesnt make sense that he is covered by such a huge shadow while being midair and i had to agree.

maybe something inbetween might work out too or even better but overall i think the big issue is the weak composition. itself. overall i want to do more work with the little one here in the thread but i am on the fence of redoing this scene/idea or go with a new comp based on the ones shown above.
