Artist's Comments

After seeing how much I had messed with Matrix's design, I decided to make a new submission instead of just updating my WIP.

Well, this is it, my latest version of my character Matrix. He's not a true dragon, he's far more complex than that, but suffice to say that this is what he looks like at his full power in his dragon form. I'm going to use this in a refference sheet later on.

Those of you who have seen Matrix before will notice a few changes that I've made to the design, mainly the wings and the stripes. The flames from the wings are concentrated on the top now, and the stripes now go into the spines, and glow as if they are transfering energy from Matrix's body. That was *PearlPhoenix's idea btw :D Oh, and I also ended up making his skin less metalic, it worked better with the new stripes.

As I created this picture I was heavily inspired by several great artists around DA, especially *PearlPhoenix, *neondragon, and *mirroreyesserval. Go visit and watch them, they are all amazing :D

---------------------------

Edit: fixed the picture up a bit. Blah, there are so many things wrong with this one...and I was going to use this as a reference sheet XD

Things that are wrong:
Tail should be longer
Stripes should be as thick as the spines

-------------------------


Matrix is © me, *Transryu

Very impressive! I'm particularly impressed with your rib work in the chest area. The flames also seem to appear more as a crest on Matrix's body than in some of the other pieces I've seen, so overall a great improvement. :)

Ohh it's not your fault. It's not your mother's fault. Now...you pay attention to old Rooter. It is nobody's fault. The Great Circle of Life has begun. But you see, not all of us arrive together at the end.

I think the wings look a lot better. It may have been a my monitor acting screwy, but originally I thought it looked like his wings were fire. (At least the leathery-membranes)

We live in quite an interesting age. You can tell someone's sexual orientation and level of education from just their interests.
