Why are there two different styles?

[QUOTE=salmonmarine;29829400]C&C, please. Why does the composition seem off to me?

Also it's not finished, but I gave up.[/QUOTE]

Well, you don't really have any composition in it except for the house there that just looks out of place.

There are no lines that leads the eyes. I'm thrown all over the place. And everything seems just as important and is just as sharp (well except for ugly smudged, yet somewhat cool but unfitting, clods and explosions). There is no main focus and nothing follows the rules of third except for the building which is drawin in a different perspective than the rest (so is the plane).

Some more progress done.

Mediatagged 'cuz I figured it would be more appropriate for a drawing I've already shown before.

The neck is kind of giving me a hard time, looks way too flat. Was trying to paint some scale details on it, but it always comes out looking really tacky and shitty. Think I'm gonna' have to experiment with different painting techniques 'till I find the right one that works.

go darker.

Sewed myself a nice, very comfortable, window seat day before yesterday, finally got around to taking a picture. Also I just installed that wonderful bi-fold closet door that was a pain in the ass to sand and finish.

Mind you that room is unfinished, I'm building a very sleek birch desk to be wall mounted as well as a nice wall mounted TV setup, then of course comes all the framed artwork that the room screams for.

Reminds me of maple story for some reason. It looks really good though, I like the texture on his horns

[QUOTE=Goodthief;29834400]Reminds me of maple story for some reason. It looks really good though, I like the texture on his horns[/QUOTE]

I don't see a resemblance at all to Maple Story. That game is like way over the top anime-influenced with their gigantic heads 3 times the size of their body and ridiculously large eyes. Not my cup of tea at all.

[Goodthief]

[QUOTE=Nidhogg;29834842]I don't see a resemblance at all to Maple Story. That game is like way over the top anime-influenced, which I do not like.[/QUOTE]

yeah I don't like maple story either but it just gives me that feeling. Also, are you going to work on the neck because those white dots makes the dragon seem less scaly. (I presume you're going to do them the same way as the face which I like)

So how does the "white dots" make the neck appear less scaly? I'm interested to hear your opinion on this.

[Goodthief]

It doesn't give this texture:

that's somewhat egotistical of you, covering your walls in your own posters

[Rusty100]

i started out making posters in the first place because my walls were so bare

and its not like anybody else is going to hang them on their walls

[Goodthief]

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;29836930]that's somewhat egotistical of you, covering your walls in your own posters[/QUOTE]

well if he's not going to put it up on his walls who will?

but seriously I need to make some (or steal some from rusty) to cover up my walls

[Rusty100]

i give out full size copies of my stuff all u have to do is ask

[Goodthief]

[QUOTE=Rusty100;29837006]i give out full size copies of my stuff all u have to do is ask[/QUOTE]

Excellent. Can you upload all of them so I can choose?

[Rusty100]

uh well the full sizes are massive so its a better idea if you just tell me which ones you want in full size
i posted most of them in small in a post a few pages back

[Goodthief]

[QUOTE=Rusty100;29593998]i dont, other than a folder on my computer

The clouds and explosion are just yuck.

Keep to the pixel style with them and never use blur/smudge.
