Recolor of a tutorial peice done for spriteart.com. Inspired by bahamut lagoon summon peices. Particularly curious is the fact that however drawn/scaled the summoned dragons appeared, the truth of the matter is that they were made up of tiles, where no certain amnt of colors were in one tile at a time. Anyhow, it was a huge peice and i tried not to overdither it like i usually do with large peices.

its awesome! just need more highlighting (contrast) at least as I see it on here, becouse you picked it to be transparent..

Erudecorp (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 11/10/2007 15:17

I remember loving the giant dragon in Breath of Fire III. I forget if it was an enemy or a summon.

up6 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 11/5/2007 16:59

AwesomePossum (Level 1 Thug) @ 2/24/2007 14:27

I love the whole piece and how the scales look almost like armor. Its just like how I would picture a Dragon to look like. But next time please Finish the whole thing (like finishing the wing)

cerealkiller54 (Level 6 Made) @ 2/19/2007 17:19

Nice Dragon. Lolz.

Krakatoa (Level 1 Rookie) @ 2/8/2007 00:37

I'm freakin' speechless. You have to see this zoomed in to appreciate this piece...

Fave'd.

h4x0r (Level 1 Rookie) @ 1/7/2007 08:05

Very, very nice. Only crit I really have is that I wish the fire put off some light for some great shadows, but you don't need that, it helps though!!!

Excellent piece,

strange yet creepy all at the same time

Sirus (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 4/23/2006 19:13

Hard to fathom the amount of work pieces like this must take... Just awesome.

J.A.M (Level 1 Hired Gun) @ 4/13/2006 05:43

Personally, I can't see how this isn't No.1. It's the pinnicale of pixel art, and in my opinion better than your other dragon

Dio Weaver (Level 1 White Belt) @ 4/8/2006 16:23

hm...cool

(Here for the 15 char thing)

Agaki (Level 1 Intern) @ 3/26/2006 02:20

Has a real painted feel, which is awesome.

Badassbill (Level 11 Big Foot) @ 8/17/2005 19:41

Damn.....That is amazing, how do you find the time to do such detail in a piece of that size?

_Lauren_ (Level 1 Quiet One) @ 7/31/2005 05:34

Wow looks awesome :D

DarkAuron (Level 2 Quiet One) @ 7/2/2005 02:32

The B.O.B. (Level 11 Master Assassin) @ 6/30/2005 11:40

yeah, we just got served...

slay (Level 1 Rookie) @ 6/8/2005 04:11

Very nice colors and atmosphere. It's sad that the left wing is cut :-) Anyway, good work,

Faktablad (Level 6 SWAT) @ 6/7/2005 12:37

If I was st0ven, and I had it like this, I'd be afraid to touch it...lol.

I really like the texture of the wing. The recolour looks better than the first. Nice work!

Garage Inc. (Level 3 Sergeant) @ 6/4/2005 14:36

This is amazing. I have already added it to my favorites. I do have one crit though. I think you should finish the wing. I know that's how it is on your site, but I want to see it finished. Besides that, I love this piece, and all of your art. Great job.

purple_monkey (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 6/4/2005 13:18

stOven:- I´m really glad you like my avatar, yeah lol, those animes and thier flashing epeletic fit causing light :P. hehe ^_^

fr0st (Level 4 Killer Klown) @ 6/4/2005 06:23

Zoomrix (Level 1 Intern) @ 6/3/2005 20:47

Dang. That is truely really good. Must have been doing pixel art for ages

Really great piece. Will look really good in my favorites.

st0ven (Level 2 Dealer) @ 6/3/2005 13:08

awww sedge im really sorry. lets be friends, seriously :D *shakes hands* (i dont like enemies, heheh). sorry that this is sort of a regurgitation peice i know its old, but im going to add one new new (yet not brand new) peice and one brand new peice in just a sec :D.

Oh, purple monkey, i really like the avatar thing, reminds me of one of those asian cartoons made with that black/white anim program with the insane fights and stuff.

Faktablad (Level 6 SWAT) @ 6/3/2005 11:55

Skill.

sedgemonkey (Level 11 Coelacanth) @ 6/3/2005 11:55

Just when I think I can pixel a little bit along comes st0ven with his insane mastery. I'd go so far as to say that st0ven has become my nemesis.

Stunning work once again.

purple_monkey (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 6/3/2005 11:35

You´re just mad on dragons aren´t you ;) hehe, very very well done, seen this many a time before aswell lol, but I´m still impressed now :). So much detail.

pixelblink (Level 9 Federal Agent) @ 6/3/2005 11:19

how many times must I fave this piece? Once more I guess.. I love this stuff. Welcome aboard Stov :)
