I would change the placement probably

I think the wings seem unfinished, less detailed than the rest, Overall it is awesome.

   bsweber on Nov 15 '07
cool thanks, Kazoyle--what placement would you suggest then?

jmaster626 on Nov 15 '07
good god that's beautiful. my vote for placement is lower left or right. agree with Petanca about the wings, also imo they look strange where the light and dark lines meet. otherwise this is rediculous, wish i could draw like that.

   bsweber on Nov 15 '07
thanks man, i appreciate the kind words. but you can draw, i've seen your stuff! but are you really 14?

so it sounds like the wings need some work--more suggestions? i'm just tired of looking at this thing.

nope im 27...this is my neigbors account. i just started doing designs with him because he could draw well and i thought my ideas were good. he kinda gave up on it and i kept on, but i wanted to stay with the account since we'd already subbed some stuff to the critiques section. thanks for the compliment though.

texture the wings i guess. or make them more like typical dragon wings if the texturing ends up not looking good.

This is wicked. how do you achieve the dashed line shadings? If I do that on illustrator my com will hang
bsweber
   bsweber on Nov 16 '07
hey thanks! the dashed lines are all hand drawn and scanned :)

I like the drawing. Wings let it down though. Redraw more uh wing like. I guess with scales? I also think the wings look a bit too contained, maybe try breaking the balloon shape a bit there.

Wow, I have nothing to critic about except the wings, can't wait to see ver. 2! For placement, personnaly I prefer center

Brett, this is amazing with unique style. I think if the wings moved out of the balloon shape, it would break the concept...which I'm guessing is "escaping the first balloon, into an imaginary surreal balloon". Perhaps you could make the dragon wings scaley in the lower part, but then fade into your surreal balloon pattern...kinda like the dragon is partly in both worlds?

the only bad thing about this is that I can only click "awesome submit this" and not "add to cart"

this is pretty sweet. i think the dragons head could be a little bigger or something, because it sort of looks like a stump at the end of his neck at first.
Kazyole
Kazyole on Nov 16 '07
not sure about the placement. Looking again I guess the design would look awkward at anywhere but center.

need to be much bigger, 'specially with all that detail.

i agree with tesco on the wings 'breaking the balloon barrier'

i don't think the wings need to be very textured to go with the rest of the drawing. maybe i'm wrong...
but i would suggest trying a boney frame of some sort, with webbing, much like that of batwings. because if you break the balloon barrier AND add texture, it might overpower the subtle details of the rest of the design. it's beautiful!

so... where is this?

The head could be bigger, and what the wings are missing is some detain, everything else has the dashed shading, and the wings are plain, but deff an awesome design! I'd rate it a 4 right now.

geeze, that's crazy awesome. I'm so jealous. I agree with people up there though, it'd look cooler in one of the lower corners.

critique mine?

Inside the wings, the outline of the strips--why change those from black? IMO it looks weird, even if it is to add depth. Keep yellow lines on the outside and black inside.

Please check out mine.

wow - amazing detail! I agree with some of the previous suggestions about the dragon though. The head is a bit small and the wings seem a little plain in relation to the rest of the design. Great work! Have you submitted it already?! =)
