Skotos
Skotos by @andrkibe (Andrew Kibelbek)

The first of my pair of new dragon characters, his name is Greek for "darkness." Skotos is still young, adolescent or thereabouts, quick-tempered, ambitious, and he has an uncommonly hot fire for one his age. At this point, his body is about the same size as a pack horse's, or six feet at the shoulder. Artwork © Copyright 2002 Andrew Kibelbek

You've done a very good job with the highlights on this one! You're lines are all very clean, and I LOVE your style! I do have two suggestions thought >^^<;; First, I noticed that most of your pics face to the left. I have a similar problem, and I try to correct it by drawing all sorts of angles and directions. (It think the "to-the-left" habit comes from being right-handed, but maybe that is just me >0__o<) The second thing has to do with this picture... You've done a very good job with this one, and the highlights are PERFECT, but to make it more "three-dimensional", I'd suggest adding some backlighting (probably blue) to the places where the shadows would be deepest. Does that make sense? There's a good tutorial on that sort of shading on www.dreslough.com.

Whew..that was long! Seriously, though, you are very talented! Keep it up!

Wow, I usually don't get such in-depth comments over Side 7. Thanks, and I really appreciate the constructive criticism.

I usually do more varied angles, but I've guess I hit a string of lefties recently.

And I'll take a look at that site. Thanks!
