Artist's Comments

I once met a boy...who hated many things, because they weren't realistic. Sometimes, as Rosie said...We need to Hover. To have our feet off the ground every once in a while. That's the real evil. No imagination.


Holy shit, I wish I could be this devoted to life. I mean...4 days. I did this in 4 days and I've never even done anything remotely like this. Unfortunately, I don't have any more time to work on it, so I must submit it without little minor detail touchups, but! I'm happy to say I participated.
Please, come favorite and vote for me if you will when the time comes. :]

I really love the composition and perspective of this piece. It is truly gorgeous, and really, really detailed. I think you did an amazing job on both the background, the dragon, and the unicorn.

However, I'd like to put in a little note for some issues I am seeing with the unicorn itself. Mainly, its a shading glitch, which is pretty much focussed on the front shoulder and barrel. By the looks of things, you have the neck attached to the front shoulder seamlessly, rather than having the shoulder wider than the actual neck base like it should be. Perhaps adding a little shadow to the base of the neck, then highlighting where the top of the shoulder would be would aid in redefining that particular area. And for the barrel, you have it appearing too flat. Again, adding some shadow this time behind the shoulder, then towards the hind end of the barrel adding more highlights and this time working on making the sides seem rounder may help with that.

And, if I also may add, the only other thing that is bothering me with this beautiful picture, is how solid you have the mane/tail and beard set up. Perhaps if you were to add more small, individual hairs you could remedy that. Here are links to some good tutorials I know for making manes and tails, which might just help you with adding the amount of detail that you have laced throughout this picture so wonderfully, to tie it all together better: [link] [link] [link] [link]

I really hope I may have been some help to you, and perhaps aided you in your efforts with this contest (BTW, good luck!) Even with the minor glitches, this picture is perfectly amazing, and I could easily see you doing well with it as it is :D

Have fun!

Kelleh, this isn't anything that I haven't already told you, but you did an AMAZING job with this entire thing. The unicorn, the dragon, the flowers, the sky, the city in the background, I'm srsly amazed. <33

This is...mindblowing. Oh my god. The perspective, the realism of it all. I love the little details, too, like the little 'vein'-ish thing on the stomach and the smoke from the nostrils. Incredible..

This is beautiful, I love it =) The contrast is subtle, for me it feels like opposite but so inseparable sides... That's a personal view though xD I wish you luck, and lots of votes! x3

Oh my god. Kelli this is amazing. I don't think there's anything wrong with it except the "body" of the unicorn looks just a little bit short.

I don't think I've ever seen you do flowers before. They're awesome! The whole thing is.

Oddly enough, this somewhat reminds me of The Story Project, especially the city.

This picture is gorgeous, such beautiful light and the colours fill me with so much joy. I love the angle of Unicorn and how the dragon flies down to it. The way they seem to be just outside a city-scape is cool too as it seems to go along with the way the world seems so focuses on development and control, pushing out everything beyond human understanding. I just love the grass and the colouring on it as well as the flowers.

Oh my gosh your quote at the beginning is beyond beautiful too.:blackrose:
