EDIT: Uploaded in higher quality, and fixed a few lil poops. :XD:

ARGHHH. WHY can't I submit this as a print, you guys?!! ;n; Someone wants to buy this as a print from me, and it's not letting me enable it as a print! WTF I DON'T EVEN- :iconexplodeplz:

.....nvr mind. I figured it out. You can't sell fanart, FFFF I should have known that. DERP. :stupidme:

-----

I really don't like how this came out. dfkjskdjf

=Eternityechos requested "Hiccup and Toothless flying over Berk", and I started this out with that really over-drawn image of them flying through those rocks and stuff. I was getting really frustrated trying to draw those dang rocks, so I hid the layer with the rocks in it and just started adding all these different bubbly light spots... sorta bokeh-ish I guess.

Even still, I'm not at all proud of it.

It was meant to be a speedpaint, but I guess for me speedpaints = sloppy. T_T I still dearly hope you like this, Sarah! :heart:

Let me open this critique by saying holy crap. Even the thumbnail for this deviation had me gasping aloud. Even though there isn't that much detail added into the drawing, the very soft focus and illusion of speed totally overtakes that. You really are an exceptional artist, especially for How To Train Your Dragon art. At first I was going to say that this should be just little more saturated, but after watching the scene from the movie again, I realized that you got the neutral colors pretty much right. Excellent, incredible work on this screenshot drawing, and I can't wait to see some more!
What do you think?

Hokay so...
Here's the Earth.
And damn, it's a pretty sweet rendering.

Honostly I am much more lost in the deatil of the scenery than the subject matter and you can take that whatever way you want it, good bad, neutral...

I think the clouds do it for me, those look real, like I can jump into the sky and it is still a sky, not a work of art.

The water reminds me of big lolling waves, and I love that it's not stark blue or monochromatic blues but I see brownish reds and grays melded into it.

As for Hiccup and Toothless, we really don't get much of them but I really do like the decision you made to hella blur the tail wing - it gives movement and depth of field. The shading on the black is divine,much better than I could do without taking a gagillion hours to figure out my light source.

The proportions are well too; Nothing is questionable - this looks like a movie still.

If you want a nitpick [it really is, so small detail] but I would erase that piece of flying hair on Hiccup down just a bit, it looks a little long and like a mistake brush stroke. Just to be clear, not the top part of his hair but that one longer strand, just take a bit off that and you're golden.

I think for a 'speed paint' this is fantastic. I put it in the :iconhowtotrainyourdragon: 's feature folder. It's beautiful for being so simple and that scape is gorgeous from the clouds, to the water, to the light spots. Maybe you could do a series focusing on the terrain of Berk? ;)

I get a nice sense of motion here :) Like the focus point is just near Toothless' wings, I think the word I'm looking for is bokeh :XD:

I think it's all in how you catagorize the picture! Try Digital art then drawings then fantasy....That usually works for me...

I love your painting by the way!!! Holy snickerdoodles is it awesome!!! :wow:

It's hard to sit back and enjoy your creations while not critiquing them isn't it?
