I want to congratulate my friend @solumviz for topping the last week's contest! 👏🏻 And I got the second spot, hehe! You can check the list and contest's rules here.
For this week, I chose Rage. 🐉
Art Process
I do not draw animals often let alone a dragon! So, I picked a dragon reference in Pinterest in making this art. I just sketched the initial pose just proportioning everything. I wanted the wings to be tattered just to make it gnarly-looking one. I did the lineart using a pencil textured brush.
Next is applying the base colors. I separated the colors for the body and wings because it would be easier for me to do the shading part.
The background is just a simple black color with gray clouds and a flame. On top of the shading layers, I used a glow brush for the eye and for the mouth. I used a mixture of soft and hard airbrush.
Final Art
At this point, I was about to give up because I got frustrated with my shading. I added more elements like fire sparks and sandy texture. Some of the special brushes that I downloaded from the asset store helped me to put my vision out.
Whew~ I thought I would not finish the art, buuut yeah! I made it! (with lots of frustration on the side, haha).
Finished art! ✨
