And how is G doing this week?

That's the title I chose for the painting I submitted to the Wacom contest over at Deviantart. The theme was good vs. evil. I interpreted using fantasy elements and balance of power. Either the dragon eats the fairy (hence, tastes her) or he tastes the sting of her power.

There are more than ten thousand entries so far. I never imagined there would be so many. The judges are going to have a hard time choosing. Even looking through the whole thing is going to take a long time. I guess that's why DA's staff is going to make a pre-selection of 50 finalists for the judges to look at. The judging should start on June 29... A whole month is a good time to look at every piece. Oh, well, there's not a thing to worry about. :)

Regardless, I did learn a lot from this painting. Scales are a b**** for one. :D. Also, there is no doubt in my mind about the immense power of photoshop. There's so much you can do with it. I had a lot of fun using the warp tool for this project.

Anyhow, the finished painting is here: Taste of Goodness

( As for the details, look under the cut )

Pretty much a self-explanatory title... :)

Oh, yeah, you must click on the image (twice) to see it bigger...



The dude just came out elvish... I couldn't help it (I didn't try, honestly) So, the girl just had to balance out the blondishness... right?

This image looks interesting flipped and I will post it that way soon.
