The Rogue of Dreams

Description

FULL VIEW OR RISK NIGHTMARES

While Dreamscapes are not in use, they are black and void of anything. But when a person is dreaming, the Dreamscape can be a vivid, powerful place. The Dream Spirits are there to protect dreamers from their counterparts, the Nightmare Spirits, and Keiriko is one of the best Dream Spirits of his age group. He is still young and reckless, but he knows what he's doing, and has defeated many powerful Nightmare Spirits. Even as we watch, dark clouds skid across the horizon, and an ill wind flows through the air as a Nightmare Spirit approaches...


I said I'd get another painting of Keiriko done, but I didn't expect it would be this year. @.@ I really dislike how his hair turned out, it looks like dark water splashing off his head. His hands are also weird, but meh. At least it's done. :)
Note: The symbols are Dreamscape runes. The one on his collar designates him as a Dream Spirit (Dream), and the tattoo on his leg is his personal call-sign, Rogue. For better views of the symbols, look here.

Partial lineart done in pencil on computer paper.
Complete lineart and colouring done in Photoshop Elements 3.0.

Hmm critique eh?
Well, what I would say is that the grass seems to be a bit rushed to me. Its just flat color gone over with the grass brush in Photoshop, it needs more detail to it you know? May I suggest adding smaller grass blades way back in the background, that might help a bit to add some more perspective to it, you know :shrug: . Also, I'm not quite sure what that black thing in the background is supposed to be, it looks like a cloud but because of its shape and its proximity to the ground, it looks to be other wise. You need to spread it out and take it off the ground a bit, also make it more transparent.

Now for the nice stuff, really nice character. It has a really awesome design to it. I just love raptors.. they're always so awesome looking. I also like his colors, weee they're sooo pretty :XD: you picked a very kewl color combination on this picture that you did :clap:. His expression is really nice too :nod: :w00t:
