Sumit's Prize (Modestly)by *Aphelps

Download JPG 900 × 566
This is a commission for a friend of mine. I am pretty happy with how it came out. Waay too many hours, but finally got the greyscale -> color thing down. It was a lot easier that way. I had a lot of fun with this, except for the scales-- they wanted to fry my brain.

Should I upload the version without the shells? Maybe, if people ask for it. :)

I would love critiques on this, other than the fact that there is a different light source for the wave than the rest of the picture. (It's intentional, and I know, it bugs me too.)

I really like the warmth you put into the skin tones. The scales are crazy detailed too. I also like how the foam in the waves look like strings of pearls, it's a rather fitting touch. The hand is an issue though, If you want to keep working on it I suggest rotating the hand outward. Otherwise this is a pretty awesome piece, the intensity of the colors in the waves works well.

The scales must have taken you forever. I watched my little sister drawing scales on a dragon before, so I know what you mean about them frying your brain.

Very sweet work, but as mentioned before you should rework the hand :)
