IceWing In A Rainy Night

Description

REPLY BEFORE YOU FAVORITE!!!!!!!!!

Okay, now that we got that out of the way, this is my first ever to be, non-lazy picture. An IceWing is kinda heard for me because of it's head somehow. It's the same thing with the 'Stupid Nightwing triout' I did yesterday. So, I have an IceWing in the middle of nowhere, who is traveling during a rainstorm. I may revisit this picture again, but I really am proud what've done here. So now, without further ado...

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT IT! EVEN IF IT'S CRITICISM! But take it gently with it! I WILL RESPECT YOUR TOLERANCE. I NEED THIS AMAZING, WELL-DONE PICTURE TO BE NOTICED BY MY WOF-FAN SENPAIS! NOTICE ME SENPAI-FAN! NOTICE ME! Sayu Crying Icon Hiyori Crying Icon 

*coughs*
 Please. And critiques would be very nice as well. Thank you, You guys are awesome.

Simple yet elegant. Nice graceful curve to the neck hinting at the rest of a powerful body hidden out of frame.


Does whatever program you used to draw this have adjustable brush settings and/or the ability to make or import custom brushes? Could be useful to find some rain-themed brushes and play around with things like spacing and jitter (if the program has those), so you don’t need to draw every raindrop individually every time you want a rainy scene.

One thing that could use some cleaning up is the outlines of the scales. In a few places the lines for the lower scales overlap the scales that are supposed to be on top, and it kind of wrecks the layered effect. The eye seems a bit too large compared to the size of the head, but for all I know that could be normal for this type of dragon.

I like the use of varied line weights to set things apart, with that bold outline helping to pop the character out of the background, and thinner lines for the scale details, and also using different line thicknesses on the raindrops. Helps add a sense of depth to the piece. The mottled pale aqua-grey shading of the scales reminds me of glaciers.
