Mythical Dragon Tiamat.... with five heads...they are unique from each other. This is the first time i ever tried to do a hue shifting technique.

Really great, gg!

Theoden (Level 11 Special Agent) @ 10/15/2012 06:35

Amazing stuff, I think you should have kept the background in the preview.

Gabylouro (Level 2 Petty Officer) @ 6/5/2011 06:24

Wonderful!

luisniel (Level 5 Killer Klown) @ 1/19/2011 23:23

I wanted to do something like that... just awesome.

uz101 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 6/7/2010 21:03

That is really good!

DragonGirl2828 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 4/6/2009 16:41

Woah...... That looks nearly real! Im adding that to my faves!

RoboBOT (Level 7 Captain) @ 5/25/2008 22:47

Ah, I've seen this on another forum. This is excellent, great job. I think the hue shifting is very effective.

Kaz21 (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 10/18/2007 21:47

Woah... very nice shading, I love it. Fav'd!

surt (Level 11 Godfather) @ 12/22/2006 06:33

Beautiful colouring.

BlackDragon (Level 11 Godfather) @ 12/12/2006 16:19

Oooooh! Very nice!

teej (Level 2 Corporal) @ 10/31/2006 14:26

yeah i am aware that some versions of Tiamat (greek mythology) is a queen goddess... but some resources i hooked-up from some dragon sites there is a dragon named after Tiamat... and i saw it first in a RPG game, like most RPGs represent Tiamat as a winged multi-headed dragon... i would have named it Hydra.. but Hydras have no wings.

Aramax (Level 1 Rookie) @ 10/14/2006 13:59

Where did you found description of Tiamat appearance?

The deity Tiamat has not always been represented by a 5 headed dragon figure. I believe she was represented like that in the Final Fantasy games first but before she was represented as a normal women like deity.

teej (Level 2 Corporal) @ 9/18/2006 16:24

yes it sucks... so ok ive changed the preview

Filax_666 (Level 6 Hitman) @ 9/18/2006 13:11

God of evil dragons, right? (from what I remember from Draconomicon...) Very welll pixelled, but the preview suck big time. I wouldn't have clicked if I hadn't seen the huge amount of faves this has...

teej (Level 2 Corporal) @ 9/17/2006 15:35

the previous version was kind of dark, not only that the bg is white, it made the dragon look like silhouette... so i made it a little brighter

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) @ 9/16/2006 22:02

I no longer looks like the one I rated

teej (Level 2 Corporal) @ 9/16/2006 17:24

yeah youre right, ive used for the pillow shading for hep with the lightsource... btw ive put some temporary background color... (as im still doing the background)... the piece just dont look good on the white background.

Faktablad (Level 6 SWAT) @ 9/14/2006 12:03

See, people, what did I tell ya? Dithergasmic dragon + 4 extra heads = automatic weekly showcase.

Some of the belly segments are pillowshaded, though I'm not sure that could be helped given the lightsource.

Atooi (Level 5 Soldier) @ 9/14/2006 07:31

Nicely done. How many colors?

Dark Rogue (Level 5 Rokkyu) @ 9/14/2006 05:54

Congrats on your first weekly showcase(I think). You changed the color...? I can't tell a difference. Maybe a bit bluer. Are you going to make that background you were talking about?

teej (Level 2 Corporal) @ 9/13/2006 14:23

thanks.... btw, ive modified the color a bit.

Huggkruka (Level 1 Rookie) @ 9/13/2006 09:30

Very, very nice. It looks like a cross between a pixel piece and a CGi model. A good one.

cure (Level 11 Pixellite) @ 9/8/2006 13:52

omgitISaDDD. You settled on a good choice of colors. Looks great, the only crits I can really think of are possibly lighter teeth and merging a couple colors for a lower color count; several are used rather infrequently.

teej (Level 2 Corporal) @ 9/8/2006 12:38

thanks.... i notice it looks nicer on a dark background.

brena (Level 1 Gangster) @ 9/8/2006 10:39

This is amazing.. I especially love each individual head.

Dark Rogue (Level 5 Rokkyu) @ 9/8/2006 07:19

The yellow highlights are good, the hue shifting worked out well for a first timer. Great job, 6/6 + fav.

Aeon Vision (Level 1 Rookie) @ 9/8/2006 07:04

Finally done huh? :-)

I can't explane how much i like this piece, 5/5 plus fav.

ZZZkodi (Level 7 Mass Murderer) @ 9/8/2006 06:28

It's too dark but nice lineart... hym... good job teej

daporta (Level 7 Colonel) @ 9/8/2006 05:39

It's amazing!!!! nice use of shadows and light :)

sk8m8trix (Level 1 Rookie) @ 9/8/2006 05:00

I appluad you Teej, another great pixel

buloght (Level 6 Centaur) @ 9/8/2006 04:01

This is brilliant lighting on the heads, it makes it look realistic .. like like you can touch the heads.

Sohashu (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 9/8/2006 03:30

This is so good. I like the yellowy highlights.

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) @ 9/7/2006 23:25

Lawrence (Level 10 Operative) @ 9/7/2006 22:17

This is amazing! I love the lighting, great work.

Ensellitis (Level 11 Sensei) @ 9/7/2006 20:05

lol, a dithergasmic dragon with 5 heads... nice :D

halfDemon (Level 6 Hitman) @ 9/7/2006 15:31

Glad to see you finally finished it! And it turned out great. It's bottom-left head's fangs seem odd though.
