Artist's Comments
Well, I was being ambitious again! XD I wanted to draw an iguana for some odd reason and I wanted to draw the iguana with an exotic looking girl. So, the girl went totally fine and then I got to the iguana and realized that I was a crazy person! Because iguanas are covered in tiny tiny scales! D:
You can view the lineart here: [link] Anyway, doing this reminded me of my iguanas growing up and I miss them horribly. I want another now! T3T PS. I DREW every one of those scales. @______@ Comments GOOOD LORD!
Wow! Okay, first of all, iguanas freaking rule. They can swim for god sake! How cool is that?! anyway... You rendered the scales amazingly. Your effort paid off! I love the contrast between the more realistic looking iguana and the shiny, polished look of the sexy lady. Overall, really great colour choices! Especially on that iguana! Dang that thing turned out great! Wonderful piece! I know! I remember putting them in the tub and they would just shoot to the other side! They are amazing swimmers! O:
Thank you! <3 -- "When I was a kid my favorite relative was Uncle Caveman. After school we'd all go play in his cave, and every once in a while he would eat one of us. It wasn't until later that I found out that Uncle Caveman was a bear." -Jack Handey  Woooo, nice color choices. Really like how its working together. That and the iguana's skin texture is really niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iice.
The crop at the top isn't really working for me though, I would've just included the rest of her head and left it with the floating logo-like feel. If it was suppose to fit as a horizontal composition on the page though, I would've made something at the bottom bleed too instead. -- "Life's grand enigma is a curse to those who seek answers... but a blessing to those who take action, for no one can ever conquer our thirst to know the truth." -Alita, Battle Angel Alita: Last Order  You are NUTS. This looks awesome though. o_o I am too tired to thoroughly critique, but I kind of feel like the bright colors around the iguana should somehow be incorporated into the lizaaaard -- maybe some subtle lighting, reflections and stuff?
--  full of sound and fury Thats absolutely insane! You created a hand drawn texture...thats just so fricking' AMAZING.
I'm in love with the overall design of the girl AND the beautiful reptile on her shoulders. *_* -- Procrastination meets apathy: I won't care tomorrow.   this is freaking awesome, iguanas are awesome.
I had one, my mom was scared of it and tried drowning it in the lake behind my house, it swam away ): but yeah, how long did it take you to do all those scales @__@ Id die if i had to do that. -- i am teh krish.... be skared? Want more pageviews? Find out how! -----> [link]  You're effen awesome for being that detailed. You know that I love your work! The thing is, the gradience in the hair seem a bit flat compared to everything else. But if that was the effect you were going for, yay. Dang, you're awesome. :]
-- I love God. -- Join the weekly ~themethursdays!! the drawing itself took me about 11 or so hours. The woman only took like an hour of that and color was maybe another hour or two so..... like 7 or 8 hours? XD
God, I am so obsessive -- "When I was a kid my favorite relative was Uncle Caveman. After school we'd all go play in his cave, and every once in a while he would eat one of us. It wasn't until later that I found out that Uncle Caveman was a bear." -Jack Handey  So many scales! Lots of work but it definitely paid off. This is beautiful!
