Description

"I'm not a girly girl. I can still kick your ass!"
Those were the words of :iconjewel-thief: that inspired me to make this picture. I wanted to make this gift for her, simply to express my gratitude for all the help she provides me with.
When i started doing this piece i decided it should be dark and evil. I wanted to make :iconjewel-thief: character, Poison, look menacing. So in the end i came up with this background and i think it really looks well with the way i drew Poison. I thought it could be cool to learn drawing rocks better....so i drew a bunch a lot of rocks and even drew small individual scratches on each rock with a 2px brush... Because of that the environment looks pretty hazardous and has an overall negative feeling to it. The only thing that i wasn't able to detail that good is that river of acid, cause i never saw one in real life (uh-duuuuh) and couldn't find a good reference for it....so i had to improvise.
I must say that at some point this picture drove me insane with all the details i tried to put into it. I'm very glad i finished it, and i had fun drawing this plus i certainly improved with drawing rocks. I also decided to change the way i'm gonna draw in future. I'm gonna spend less time drawing small details nobody's gonna see anyway, at least that is something i promised myself to try.

Fullview/Download to see all the details :3

Now, here are some interesting facts about this picture:

1)This picture started as a simple headshot sketch on 16.02.2012 and was developed to it's current state at 06.04.2012

2)When i was drawing clouds i accidently drew them in such a way that they resembled two huge rocks with some vegetation and a waterfall. It was quite noticeable, so i had to draw a huge stone spike to cover that area a bit.

3)I decided to count all the rocks in this picture, simply because i was curious. There are total of 674 rocks on display here, and i do have a picture where each single rock is individually numbered. Also the layer, containing all those rocks has a size of 2mb.

4)Originally i had an idea that i should draw Poison in a cave, but i was always screwing up the perspective prety badly, so i changed it to open sky.

5)The skull and femur represent those words :iconjewel-thief: once told me in skype:"I'm not a girly girl, i can still kick your ass!"

6) Just when i was close to starting coloring the character, her design changed a little bit, so i had to make some adjustments.

7)This picture is my 100th deviation and it took the longest to draw out of all others.

8)My hands now hurt from typing so much :iconcryforeverplz:

First of all I love this! I love the way it doesn't look 2d the background matches the darker colors of the dragon the blacks and the greens that is. Also the glow of what is think is poison (correct me if I'm wrong there) and I think it's good how you included the owner of the dragon and you can tell by the expression on the face is saying to me 'don't mess with me' don't a dragon I'd want to meet in a dark ally when it's angry. Over all it's brill picture you should be proud of yourself! ^^
