started as a pencil sketch and ended up in photoshopcs2 where i finished the illustration, its the 1st of a series of characters i ll make for personal project, hope you guys like it and advice or comment, that would be much aprecciated.

thank you

Oh god, badass!
I love the ice, one of my fav details on this is the icecle in front of her leg, with the dull red transparency. great work!

Love the "smoke" effect on the head as well, very jellyfish like

[renderwhite]

thank you, yeah that ice was fun!

[Tri_beer_gut]

Some things should not be attractive, and yet...

Well, besides that its all verry smooth, as if...as if, it was made of silk.

awsome job.

[WODZGN]

Wow, how come this one doesnt have that much replies? Awesome job on those icicles. I love her.. "hair". I want more!

[ThomasMiller]

That is some gorgeous rendering. The scales and smoke are really well done. Very cool and eye catching concept. Even the tiny thumbnail grabs your attention.

[Idiot Apathy]

Have a website?

[Tri_beer_gut]

Now that I think about it, this picture along with the name of the thread makes it look like it came from some deep thought, dose it have a story?

[schlichte]

wonderfull work, every thing seems to mesh well together together except for the head, you have these very organic elements i.e. body and the smoke coming from the head and then you plop on this very geometric tech looking head. just my two cents. amazing image though

[Bendragon]

Awesome! Would love it if you posted more!

[Goog]

This is like the Cherry lollipop of eye candy. I neeeeed more.

[Studio Colrouphobia]

Love this, this was worth a rating.
I too would love to know if you have any websies or galleries elsewhere.

[anjin]

that's perfect! I love how you made ice, the red smoke and the hand of the alien, with a little "transparency" with light behind. Oh God... really awesome!

I want to see the other characters!!!

[ikuru]

[El Jeremie]

Smashing piece.

[N8 Van Dyke]

Love it. Two chimp thumbs up.

[renderwhite]

thank you for so many feedback
i have no website yet, anyways ill be posting here on conceptart...
thank you for so many comments and crits i take all into acount

[lewiston]

NICE! The refractions on the ice especially! I'm not sure if you could have given the skin/ scales a bit more hue variations...
Anyways - great work!

[Gregg]

Very nice ! I like your palette and the design of the character.

[Rocul]

This looks awesome, but the scales kinda throw me off a bit, they looked furry at one point, maybe it's the lack of luster.

[earthstormjim]

beautiful rendering

[sourgasm]

My only issue is with her right hand, which appears to be resting on her hip or messing with her tail heh. Other than that, holy sheet, great work. I can't wait to see more from you.

[renderwhite]

lewiston, yeah thats a nice idea i´ll be painting over some things later, thanks
Gregg, Thanks man!
Rocul, its true those scales are not very convincing to "feather fur" like, one more thing to work on, thank you
earthstormjim, Thank you! glad you like it
sourgasm, that hand was an issue i was to lazy on that, thanks man!

thank you for the feedback, trully usefull

[Tri_beer_gut]

i have to take a different opinion than rocul, yes the scales do look more like fur then actual scales but it gives them a kind of raspberry texture, it makes it look soothing more than odd.

[Mark Bot]

amazing. the scale texture on her skin is interesting, rather soft. i agree with what other people are saying they're 'fur like'. all it really needs is harder edges and it would read better i think
really excellent job. keep it up

[Chingwa]

This is great, I really love the feathery scales!

[scott*altmann]

tons of cool things happening here- very nice piece!

[mysteryofalbesila]

great piece

[buffichar]

I love the skin. I would have made the head smaller but that's a personal preference not a crack at your proportions dragons by definition have pronounced heads by comparison. If I can ask why did you pick this?

[Tri_beer_gut]

so weird, for some reason i was thinking of this piece and here i am checking the forum at 11.23 to get some dream inspiration, and to my surprise, there it is. Haven't seen this one for a while.
