Description

Papercut_Dragon

I''ve been painting this all day, pretty much non-stop, and my eyes are fried. @_____@

Please please pretty please take two seconds of your life and view the detail here!

Ok! This is another painting that I did that was inspired by a famous artist''s painting - this time it''s Pieter Bruegel the Elder''s "Return of the Hunters."

Go look! Click!

And by inspired I mean I took pretty much the whole composition, lol. But this one of the few paintings I saw in ninth grade Art History 1 and cared about - it stuck with me for a long time.

And yes, I DID just draw Hitsugaya. Again. *Slinks off*

I did want to change the mood a little - this situation is a bit more threatening than hunters returning. So I changed the sky around; you wouldn''t believe what kind of difference that little strip of yellow sky made.

So is there a story behind this? Why are they out in the middle of nowhere with their swords out and ready? What''s with the dragons? I dunno! Go make something up. I''m gonna get away from this computer, ''cause my eyes are seriously dying.

About 15 hours, Photoshop, referenced Bruegel.

youve probably been asked this already but i wanted to ask, what else did you use to do this besides photoshop, ive seen that other paintings you did are usin the same thing...and very nice job

by: Papercut_Dragon on Jul 31, 2007 11:31 PM

(Love your icon!)

I don't get asked these questions too often, so don't worry. ^_^ And, this one is actually all Photoshop. I sketched, colored, did everything in that program. About 99% of my artwork is like that - if it's digital, it's all digital; if it's traditional media, it's all traditional.

Hope that answered your question!

by: thekeshia on Aug 1, 2007 02:30 PM

ooohhhh, i dont have photoshop, i have to buy it...i think i get what your saying so thank you, and thanks about the icon, a lot of ppl say they like it, and i like your too

Photoshop is really expensive - I recommend either getting Photoshop Elements, or Paint Shop Pro. Paint Shop is a really good program to start out with, and it's afforadble. :)

by: thekeshia on Aug 1, 2007 03:28 PM

ok, ill try paint shop pro...thank you for the advice! *bows*

Lol, I'm glad you like the background! It is a large part of the picture, after all. XD

Aw, I don't win contests very often, actually. More like . . . I believe I've won one contest maybe? So, don't worry too much. :P

by: vampire_kiss on Jul 3, 2007 03:20 PM

just noticed are there..dragons in the sky??

by: Papercut_Dragon on Jul 3, 2007 08:05 PM

Yeah, dA took me a while to get used to - but I also had someone helping me out a lot. ^^;

And yes, yes they are. ^_^ In the original, there's SOMETHING flying around in the background - it even looks draconic. So I just went ahead and made it a dragon. :P

by: Pabbit_da_Rabbit on Jul 1, 2007 09:55 AM

That's very nice. I couldn't even tell that this was anime-based (which is a good thing!) It looked like such a fantasy painting. Done really well.

by: Papercut_Dragon on Jul 1, 2007 07:04 PM

The woman - she's got a very "sci-fi woman" pose, doesn't she? ^^; I blame all the sci-fi fantasy book covers I've seen. :P Glad you like it!

by: Pabbit_da_Rabbit on Jul 2, 2007 12:58 PM

Yeah. Definitely sci-fi. :)

The details are most awesome. You obviously put a lot of effort into this artwork and can see why you like it. I saw your link in iDNAR's art contest in the forums. This pales in comparison to my feeble attempt. Good luck with it and keep up the good work.

by: Papercut_Dragon on Jul 1, 2007 07:32 PM

Why, thank you! And good luck in the contest!

by: WH2007 on Jul 1, 2007 03:25 AM

Beautiful picture. The background landscape is really awesome and the very detailed characters too. You are really talented!

by: ZiaReN on Jun 30, 2007 11:05 PM

wow!!! this is great.i still can't help myself on background.

by: Aww on Jun 30, 2007 09:24 PM

WOW!!!!!!!!! That looks amazing!!!!! <3

by: Papercut_Dragon on Jun 30, 2007 09:33 PM

Thanks! And thank you for the favorite!

by: animeartist1 on Jun 30, 2007 08:33 PM

Even though you worked really hard, it turned out to be wonderful!
