Description

HEY PEOPLE!!

Well, some friends mine have a comic book, and they question me if i´ll can draw something for one of the covers.
And this is one idea that I have since much time ago. Hope you like!!!
As usual, pencil, no more, and like ever, I hope made a colored version soon. :p (if I have the time….!!... I´m thinking in something that I hope all of you can help me).
This time, although there is much people that I remember and I want to be thankful, this work, as I promised, it´s dedicated for the most BIG MASTER in Gfx, Elite, GFXartist sponsor Madanapale, ESPERO QUE LE GUSTE LA NIÑA, MAESTRO!!

--------------------------------------
Oh, you can see a little WIP in this link: http://img444.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sbswg8.jpg

This is really well done! Her face is excellent. Very realistic and very sexy. Composition is also excellent. The dragon's wings have good detail. I think the moon could use some more work and perhaps move it to the left a little so that it's not directly over the dragon's head.

Great job Matias!

Lovely composition!
Dragon's body is weird.
Mostly dragon's anatomy compared to cats or different dinosaurs - depends in which case - it can help you
I like dragon wings - very beautiful
Girls face seems to be too indifferent - is she's flirting with the dragon? :p
I like her armor concept :)
Very nice - I'm waiting for the color version!

I am not going to win any popularity contest. The girl and the dragon do not seem to have any connection whatsoever. To "help" with the pic, I suppose I, for one, would have to know a little more about the comic book. You draw well and I would guess you have ideas of your own for this theme.

MIKE: first of all: Dude, don´t worry about your comment!!! This is the reason of GFX!! Not a popular contest, we are artists, ALL HERE, and we need the help of all the other members for to continue growing. Thanks for your comment!! Now, about the connection between the two characters, i try to do this connection in the eyes, she look the dragon, the dragon look the girl. Like Curly say "she's flirting with the dragon"... A bit sutil, i think, but it´s the connection that i tried to do. :) And there is not for a particular story or characters, just some draw for a cover. Hope this help to you for a more clear idea of this work. Many thanks for the critic, and contiue, I gave what you must always say, without thinking about your popularity. ;) WOW! Many words!

Nice one mate! I can't wait to see how the transparecies on the clothing are painted with traditional media. I would say the drawing is just perfect, but since everyone enjoys a bit of criticism, I'll drop a few comments... in spanish so that neither of us have to look up words on the dictionary.

La anatomia del dragón está un poco rara, las patas traseras parecen demasado gordas, como las de un pollo, los dragones generalmente tienen un tono muscular muy definido como el de los caballos. En cuanto a las patas delanteras la articulacion del codo parece un poco rara, yo lo hubiera dibujado como las patas de cualquier cuadrupedo cuando está tumbado sobre la espalda. Y el pecho de la chica... no sé hay algo raro, creo que es el de la izquierda, bueno igual la forma se aclara con el coloreado pero parece bastante más plano que el de la derecha. Quizas es porque la camiseta da la impresión de que está muy ajustada por las rayas de tensión, y luego sobra tejido alrededor.

Pero vamos, que esto se nota fijandote mucho, y además, qué se yo =p tu dibujas mucho mejor que yo.

The girl is beautiful, but 'd love some depth in this.. like more shading , maybe? To emphasize the highlights created by the moonlight? It's weird GFX is so OC about shading and such, yet no one seemed to notice lack of it here. . JUst a thought, but the composition is great, I love the girl. :) .. and I love dragons too.

how did this become number 1?
is it becaus u vote and comment on 80% of the other art works and your so nice to everyone.. dude all the girls in all your sketches look alike, wheres the creativity there, second artists who have better works deserve to be number one i find this so unfair for the people who actually put time into their sketches and be beaten by one of your sketches that look like some female grade six student made, I thought GFX was amazing till i opened the drawing section and saw the number one artwork.. just a bit confused.. :)

 11/24/07 @655

'your sketches that look like some female grade six student made' - thats abit harsh. I bet many grade six student would love to have the technical skills to pull off an image like this. How do you know he doesnt put time into his sketches? don't just presume things you don't know.

To be able to pull off an image where the image is well composed and female pose looks natural and well proprtioned takes alot of skill and practice, and how this became number one is probably due to the fact that people recognised this and voted accordingly. Have some more respect for good work man!

edit - I did read everything, just wanted to quote one of the negative opinions you mentioned

Yeah, i never made shadows, maybe because i draw all this work for a future colored version, and for this reason i just draw lines, no add shadows or an other details that i add in the color version. I think that Mariam ( killadore tell me something like this in the last work... Maybe i need think in this seriously, but i just haven´t many time for work in this sketchs! Thanks for the critique!
ROBY: First of all, thanks for the critique. Now, dude, i don´t vote in my work, or send mails to all the people that vote in my work, People vote because they wish vote, and if i´m in the # 1, well, it´s for the people, the others that think that i deserve to be in the # 1.

Robby, how can you be such an angry young man, when your future looks quite bright to me?

Maybe this work is overrated, so bloody what?

This is the system: people take time to comment, and on the way vote for those who are kind enough to comment on their work. Matias is the most giving person here, and when you give without thinking about getting back, you get it back, big time.

Matias gets votes from many people. Even if this work was crap and each person gave him 2 points less, this work would hit #1. This is how the system works.

I see that you just joined GFX. I did so not long ago. I just looked at your works and I can tell you have the talent. You can probably be helpful to many here. Sit back, relax, and take a minute or two to look at the works of the many good people who kindly commented and voted for your first submission. If you'll give 1/10 of what Matias does, you will also hit the top of the chart.

PS, ''your sketches that look like some female grade six student made" - I tend to agree. Matias's style is childish, in a most positive way. This is exactly why I like his works.

It's fun watching you improve over time :) You're one of only a handful of artists I see online that practice really does make you better with each piece shown.

One thing I'd like to see as you keep going, is varying your lineweight a little more. It makes for interesting linework, and since you seem to stick with a lot of pencil work, it'd be an area to explore.

What I mean, is that your castle in the back has the same 'weight' of pressure as your girl does, where if it were a much more delicate touch, it'd be further away to our eyes.

LAURA: Wow, thanks!! You gave so much help to me!! Many thanks! Yep, i try to work everyday a little, in the night when i back to the work. The castle it´s for some advice that my master Chichoni give to me, maybe in the pencil work i need a bit more details. Thanks!

I don't know what you have had in mind for this drawing, but if I was to give you any advice, it would be to try shading more! Adding some shadows and volume I think it'd look even greater. ;)

hello daikuse!!!!!! -sorry for all the non spanish members, but i was too bussy lately, and just have save a few moments to say hello to a good friend, so i will post in spanish, since i dont have the dicc at hand_
me alegra poder ver nuevos proyectos tuyos, y espero que esta ilustracion supere aun a las anteriores (que ya es mucho decir),
si tengo que decir algo, no es una critica en si, sino una forma de componer, quiza como una sugerencia de lo que hubiese hecho en tu lugar, capaz que el problema de la luna que se menciona mas arriba es que....no se, como que me fije que en mis propias ilustraciones nocturnas siempre estaba la luna, asi que decidi empezar a quitarla, o a solo sugerirla si veia que no agregaba nada. en estecaso creo que quedaria fantastico que el ala derecha estuviese desplegada mas hacia la esquina, tapando ese hueco superior con lo que el dragon quedaria un poco mas arriba, y con su ala izquierda podria hacer de fondo para el pelo de la chica.
tambien me hubiese gustado que la hoja te alcance un poco mas para mostrar como la mano d la chica se apoya en su pierna derecha.... ah, ahora que lo pienso... que tal la luna como fondo claro para la figura oscura del dragon?
ya ves, la composicion que elegiste se rige por tu propio estilo y es totalmente valida, pero me apasiona discutir estos temas de planear las ilustraciones.
segui mejorando siempre, siempre con esa humildad.
cuidate!
