[Completed] Dagon Pisces - art trade with shintoji

[Pheasant]

(Cross-posted on MLPTP.)
This is my half of an art trade with shintoji, featuring his character Dagon Pisces. While taking an obscenely long time to complete, I've learned a lot from this piece - drawing hair sucks - and I'm pretty happy with the final result. Hopefully the recipient is as well!

Sketched in Photoshop Elements 6.0, completed in Krita 2.9.

I would like to eventually open commission slots, and will appreciate an honest USD price check on the above piece.

Oh that is so beautiful! Stunning.

That's a lovely sketch, it's always great to see some less common poses and angles. Looking forward to the next stage!

[Pheasant]

Thank you both. ♥

I love her pose and the shape of her head

[ZennaBug]

Very pretty!  I like the curve of the neck and the wings.  Can't wait to see it finished.

Giving this a small bump! Now that I'm done with work and ATCs for the time being, I've began working on this again. ^_^

And it just gets more and more stunning

Edit:

I'm a liar - I underestimated how long it would take for me to draw highlights. This is my first time thoroughly studying the muscle contours of horses, so I'm drawing a bit more slowly than I usually do. I'll toss up another WIP image soon, I promise! ;__;

[Pheasant]

More progress is up!

[Griffin]

It's getting more and more awesome! Beautiful work on the shading.

And he's done! 8D

I'm not going to pretend that there aren't some anatomical errors with this piece, because there are. But, this was a huge step for me and I'm not going to complain too much at the moment.

Absolutely stunning! He is so lifelike!

Oh but the hair turned out really well! Stunning piece and well worth the effort!
