You mean his pocket money, right? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: It’s a young dragon who only started plundering, isn’t it?

I’m seeing all these amazing artworks, and I’m sad that I probably won’t be able to participate since school is keeping me quite busy :frowning_face:.

This is my entry for this Krita challenge of June 2024. My dragon is based on lizards of genus Draco. I always found them fascinating. I used wet paint tool for this challenge, although in the beginning I forgot about using one tool so I also used the detail wet paint tool…at least it was in the same category of tools :sweat_smile:

Watch the skies, traveler! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Here’s my entry. Not entirely happy with it (as usual) but I’ll call it good enough, after spending way too much time tweaking those blur effects! :sweat_smile:
This time I took up the optional challenge, so for the brush I used only the Ink-3 Gpen from the Default Resources bundle. It was interesting to experience how you can still circumvent some limitations of your brush with filters (I guess that was @Elixiah’s goal). For instance here, to make the inner fire effect on the chest of the dragon without access to the soft airbrush, I simply used a blur effect on my hard pen strokes. :slightly_smiling_face:


PS: of course I went back and modified it! No such thing as “good enough”! :face_with_spiral_eyes: :sweat_smile:

And here’s my second entry! :smiley:
The important thing is not if the dragon is real, but if it’s magnificent for someone, isn’t it? :laughing:
Here I used exactly the same single brush as before (Ink-3 Gpen), with a blur effect for the red on the cheeks and the shadow on the ground. I also applied some post-processing effect I’ve learned in a Youtube tutorial by LinesSensei (“fry” a copy of the final image by adjusting the color levels, blur it, switch it to Screen mode and lower the opacity, to give a “daylight glow” effect).

PS: I modified the first dragon again (x3)… :sweat_smile:

Thanks! :smile: It’s Gaussian blur for the clouds and the inner fire, and Motion blur for the wings. It was a nice exercise to do but at that point I wished I had made the wings on their own separate layers! :sweat_smile:

You have to add your second and maybe a third contribution to your initial one. Can you edit your first entry and delete this one, or do you need help to edit your first entry by of one of the moderators/the admin, because of your user-rights?
If the last, please say so, so they can help.
