Description

I got to thinking while working on this piece that I wanted to render this guy as though he would be a sort of spiritual guide through the underworld; a creature whose wisdom and strength could guide you past even the foulest creatures and traps that the land of the dead has to offer.

Very nice. You captured him very well. Compliments on the colors and the composition.

Swirly and nifty! I am in love with the designs on his horns (great detail work)!

Cool! I like the lighting in particular. The blue with the red really works for me too.
(I might be a little bit biased, since I'm a fan of dragons).

Extraordinary color. Blue really works even though intensely saturated and pure.

Spyro - Heh...I'm usually not that bold with it...but I thought I'd break out of my ordinary for once. (I guess that's what happens when you put aside painting for a couple of months :) )
Thanks to everyone for the comments!

The best of your works so far, and by far. The composition is excellent, and so are the lighting and colors

Excellent composition. I love how you were able to incorporate that strong purple and still make it work. Good job. +10

Cool! Very clean and crisp. The colours and composition remind me of Philip Straubs work in the elite gallery. How long did it take you?

Hmm...I dunno how long this took. I sketched it up last December, then started rendering it out April 9...finished April 16, so maybe... 15-20 hours of work? I didn't really keep track this time... :)

Spirtiual guide.... I'm an anthropology major so the title really struck me... this is the sort of being you'd discover in the lower world (the spirit helper/guide in the form of a mythical beast). Absolutely BEAUTIFUL.
