This is absolutely amazing.
Your choice of colors and strokes are awesome.
Great work!

SWEET! What does it take to get commissioned by SCG? I would love to make a mat!
:V yus! But do you contact them or are there scouts or something?
If you want to work for them you should contact them. The chance is quite small that they will discover you by chance considering the immensity of the internet, heh.
That's true, though I do see a lot of MTG artists on Deviantart :)
I almost thought it was Valoo from LoZ: Windwaker torching the lookout of the Forsaken Fortress :P
Holy frijoles the amount of detail in this. :O The choice of colors you used is really stellar too. Fantastic.
dragons, always being those mean jerks >n> burning stuff out of no reason at all
your icons are so similar I swear you were the same person for a minute there

I love this so much, very sad it is not just for sale on SCG but is for people who place in their tournament~ Awesome job
;V; this just makes me want to throw my tablet away and worship you as an artgod. i love you
the colours are so amazing, the picture is so amazing, everything in this is too gosh darn AMAZING!!
Those colors, the details, Dat Dragon!
Amazing work!~*

This is amazing!!! I really love all the colors. It's like a carefully calculated rainbow that created a highly detailed dragon and amazing fire. Beautiful results.
Utterly breathtaking. Your color choices are always astounding.
Oh my GOD!! The colors are SUPERB!!!
I love how the lighting goes in the overall things!
It's as if there are lots of lamps in the scene XD like how it is on a stage hehe

It's like Lisa Frank became a dragon and then burned someone to death!
You handled such a complicated image masterfully. This reads great: everything from silhouettes to general hierarchy is spot-on! <3

Thanks so much, man! When I finished it months ago I was terrified my bosses wouldn't like it (and subsequently I'd be out of a job), but the opposite happened. ;u;
Lisa Frank missed out on a grand opportunity for rainbow sparkle dragons! I bought the unicorn stickers but it just wasn't the same. :(

I seriously want them to do more things like this, catered to their original demographic. I think it'd be a big success, actually!
(I applied, but they weren't interested.)

Is it just me or is there too much contrast in this picture, especially on that dragon. The colors are way too bright, could be my monitor though. Oh well. I sense a new wallpaper, possibly, maybe.
I worked on a calibrated IPS monitor, and since most people don't calibrate with a little robot I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people were viewing it differently than how it looks on my monitor. At the very least it's meant to be bright. c:
Daaaaaamn. You just blew me out of my chair, I can't even
Your colors are always so amazing, love the choices you made to separate the dragon from the background * O *

this is just beyond words! how many hours did this take you!!? WOW!
Probably around 60. There was a loooot of re-painting for some sections (as evidenced by the progress more than likely). Thank you! :D
No need to say I'm watching you expecting for this kind of stuff to happen ;p
If you want color nuclear explosions, you're watching the right account. ;D
OMG I want this as a big poster on my wall! Please do prints I will throw money at you ; w ;
I was planning to print a few of these out at smaller sizes (11x17, etc), actually! Big poster size I can't do quite yet due to contractual things, but it might be available in the future. :)
It's beautiful :>! I do believe there's such a thing as "too much detail" haha, but you have applied it quite well despite the chaos! Awesome job, your work is a joy to look at :>.
That means a lot, thank you!
Hahaha, there certainly is... and I'm pretty sure I'm skirting the line at "oh god why did you detail that much you broke it."I was actualy worried about that for days, but my boss and the people in charge of the playmats seemed to really like it... so I won't commit seppuku quite yet. iThe newer ones I'm doing for them have much less of that color contrasty-ness, so hopefully they'll read a bit easier even with the detail.
Btw, I love what you've been doing with your own freelance stuff. Is S2Games having you do more splash/promotional artwork, or are you also diving into that scary realm of 3D modeling/texturing/animation? XD

Haha it's definitely on the edge I must say! I can still make out what's what though so that's alright ;p.
Actually they are also letting me do some concept work now :)! Drawing promotional images is great and all but actually creating content is just awesome, lol. I actually quite like 3D Modeling, but that's a whole specialty in and of itself and I do think I prefer 2D art.

It's incredible how well you're able to use high-saturation colors. Woww.
This is probably as far as I can go with saturation before people's eyes start to burn. Thank you~ c:
it's so pretty and colorful!
i mean BURN BURN IT ALL, BURN IT ALL TO CINDERS!
xD

Haha, it sure does! Thanks!
I kinda wish Lisa Frank had done rainbow dragons... maybe subconsciously I could have made the dragon brown and green. XD

And how long did this take? Beatiful details and colour effects, this truly showed your strong side :3
Waaay too long. I think about 60 hours, haha. A lot of it was painting and re-painting.
I truly love all that you create, but this is a new zenith. It is absolutely amazing
FUUUUU!! So many details and outstanding colouring! RAAAAAAWWW!
Can't write the expressive comments, but i totally like this, awesome job

Holy shit balls...theres so much to take in thats freakin awesome in this image. Amazing work...
oh my sweet baby jesus this is fucking gorgeous and the colours are just about blowing my mind here oh my god blow me i need to use this as my desktop!!!!
This is such a great painting... I need a gigantic print of this on my wall.
SO AWESOME! I used to judge the WOW: TCG for them and Upper Deck back in the day! Very very lovely!
Holy moly, the details in this are just stunning! You did brilliantly with the colors too.
This painting is unfathomable. The lighting, detail, colors, texture, everything... is mind boggling. This is TRULY beautiful and amazing.
It's so gorgeous I could cry. I love everything about this. The dragon, the background, the fire, the burning figure, everything is perfect.

Omg centra. this is so great please stop shitting on my life, i love you but my heart...
Excuse me while I spend the rest of my entire life looking at how beautiful this piece is.
Beyond gorgeous. The amount of color and detail makes it hard to look away!
I don't think there are words in the English language to describe how awesome this is. As Bonez said, the color, detail, and how you did the action makes it difficult to look away. o.o; I made it my desktop wallpaper, but that's probably a bad idea because now I'll probably never leave my computer.
Holy moly, the colours, textures and the details are beyond amazing. @A@ Aaahh I could stare at this all day...
Whoaaa lovely details *___* too much bright colours, I love this amazing dragon
I. . . .just don't even know how your art is so amazing. My mind is completely blown by your incredible painting technique, and the choice of palette, and just pretty much everything. Your paintings have all the soul and beauty that I wish I could portray in my own. Consider yourself looked up to, because this is beyond gorgeous.
This is unbelievable. If only I had known who I was talking to a few hours ago. Good lord.
this brings me back to drakengard, this painting reminds me of it A LOT.
awah you're here too?! I posted my doodle here, take a look ^^
