Artist's Comments

The finished product...more or less...:)

I've added the candle flame, having used an actual candle flame as a model. :)

I've lightened the color on the little dragon a bit more to my satisfaction, which in turn, allowed me to use other colors, and something called "impossible lighting".
I also changed the position of the tail, and I feel like it adds more depth to the background as well as helping establish a better perspective with the holder.

I also got rid of some...not all...of the blue, which feels better to me, and added a bit more definition to the "ground".

Detail on the candle and the holder are likewise completed.

And there you have it...a small young dragon with territorial issues. :)

Oh why thank you, that's very flattering. :) One day I'm going to buy one of those dribbley type candles and work from life with those too. :)

That sounds awesome... My big brother used to make candles, but they were the fat round smooth kind.

They used to make multi-colored candles that dribbled rainbow colors...I haven't seen those recently, but then I haven't been looking for 'em either...did your brother sell his candles?

It was really interesting seeing the WIP shots and how it came along! I love the drippy wax on the candle, and the georgeous shading on the young dragon! Very nice. :thumbsup:
