OMG i got a DD!! yay!!

i guess that explains why i received like a hundred messages all of a sudden.

thanks alot for all the comments and crits, they're making me really really really happy!

and i'm sorry i cant reply all the comments (but i'l try), since this is my first DD and i'm still in shock! OMG!

btw, i counted there are 4 person who said that this is more like a hydra than a dragon. what do you think?

makasih bgt buat ~butosipit

original dragon, by ~arf, is quite remarkable the way the dragon heads are woven into the castle scene. Add to that the fire and you really get a sense of being overwhelmed by the onslaught. (Suggested by ~butosipit and Featured by `Aeires)

the color scheme is really nice, but the blues on the dragons, tho they go well with the oranges, feel to bright and artificial. they dont work as a contrasting shadow, and there is no indication of an outside light source creating it. It doesn't quite add up that the dragons are blue, and that the fire is creating the orange sheen either. The picture is still really nice tho, just something to think about.

that right, i also think that the blu light its a little bit odd. another thing that doesnt seem right is the castle in the background.

but due to the deadline, so i really didnt have much time to work on it. but its quite fun doing the coloring on that one. i like monsters!

thanks for the comments...

wah wah adik salah paham tuh... bukan kakak ini yang menggambarnya naga tersebut, itu yg gambar namanya kakak diyan (tp ga ada di deviantart). kakak ini hanya jd pewarna semata...
