Adam's CC1 WIP

[Adam Lina]

Im doing a Japanese Daenerys. Still a super rough idea.

[smrr]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssss--!



Welcome to the game, Ademmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 
Digging the coloured comp!
Get it suhn!  
waiting for updates like: 

[JyonnyNovice]

Good to see you here! Good luck with the design : )

[Piotr Jasielski]

Pretty good idea. As for comp, I'd move the castle a little closer and maybe incorporate a part of the dragon in the foreground (unless you plan to make them really big). Good luck.

[Amit Dutta]

Great idea Adam, looking forward to see you finish this. It does kinda look like something out of street fighter at the moment, so I would try and bring some things in the design and details that speak to the GoT

[Hobitt]

Welcome to the the crucible Adam! So far im liking the direction your going with, looking forward to more

[Adam Lina]

Thanks dudes.

Hey man, looking cool!
I would suggest playing around with the dragons some more. Give the curves some more variation; look at pictures of chinese dragon paintings and also check out how other artist's go about it ( https://www.pinterest.com/pin/564638872013464024/ , https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564...dd3bab.jpg , http://www.draconika.com/img/chinese-dra...raving.jpg )
It would also help to get some overlaps going somewhere to suggest depth. Right now you have some tangents here and there which flatten the image. Maybe make a tail wrap around Daenerys' leg or something like that?
I'm excited to see where this is going :D keep it up!

[Adam Lina]

Bjork, thanks for the feed back. Yea, im gonna change the dragons around. I was mainly focusing on trying to figure out the perspective of the figure. This a character design challenge so i dont want to stretch myself too thin getting too involved in the dragon design. They're gonna be your basic DBZ dragons most likely. Im not even sure if I'll color this at this point. I might only have time to do line art.

[neopatogen]

Great idea, I like youe latest concepts! One of the issues is, how to wrap the dragon around Dany's body in a most spectacular way. Hope to see more!

[Piotr Jasielski]

Looks awesome so far. Keep it up.

As neopatogen mentioned, you could explore some cool dragon warping.

[John]

I, for one, am excited to see your dragon design!

[Adam Lina]

Trying to work on the comp. I know the colors and values suck atm. Just arranging objects for now. Im sure theres some tangents in there somewhere but i gotta go to my dumb day job now.

[JyonnyNovice]

Not sure if its useful at this point but I always found these images from spirited away really touching:

The comp is really nice. You might try to incline it (did I use the right word?) for better effect.

[PurpleScissors]

You've nailed the composition. You've placed the dragons so well that I directly look at Dany's face.

[smrr]

Shit son!

Lookin' real good man <3

I think Piotr was talking about free transforming all the layers, then rotating the piece clockwise/anti so that the horizon line tilts, making the comp more dynamic. 

Though you probs already knew that lul, but either way

Keep slaying Adam woooooooopwowoopw

[Adam Lina]

Thanks guys. I hadnt thought of tilting it. I'll give it a try! Today I wrestled with getting her likeness. The eyes are giving me the biggest problems. What do you think?

[neopatogen]

You definitely achieved likeness in your  line drawing! Looks great!
Perhaps it will be easier with the eyes when you start painting. Or, if you want a perfect line drawing, you could use measurement techniques. You can check out Proko's videos on Youtube on measuring and drawing eyes, they were helpful for me (though I haven't practised enough).

Neo had a great suggestion^
To add to that, I was recently shown this little nugget again:

short but effective.
Your perspective is pree' solid otherwise - so I hope this helps man
