Hmm, I hope you don't mind me giving a few crits . If you do just ignore me.

What puts me off a bit in this image is how stupidly realistic the background is, I mean, the mountains are painted awesomely, as are the rocks the dragon's sitting on. They're full of texture, shading and colour variation. But then there's the dragon. He seems not to belong there, mainly because of the smoothness of it's skin as opposed to the rough texture underneath him, and the fact that the entire dragon was coloured in one colour only (different tones of red). Think of colour reflections on the rocks, the dragon would have hints of dark blue/grey on his underside, and hints of lighter blue on the top side, since I assume there's where the light source is. Try and make the dragon actually blend with his surroundings, it'll add to the realism of the entire image.

Still though, this is an amazing piece of work nonetheless .

Reminds me of how much I need to visit the mountains

Dang that is a gorgeous picture and dragon. It's so cool being hide covered without any visible scales.. where's a tranquilizer dart when I need one.

Man, you are AMAZING at backgrounds, I have to say. D:

The dragon looks so pure, and almost untouchable the way you rendered him in the piece...Like a hallucination on a wonderful landscape...That's just cool...

I am a seeker of dragon artists, that's probably why I watch you...

You are right. I was in a hurry to finish it last night, and even though those things had crossed my mind, by the time I finished the cliff I didn't really care any more. But that did help a lot. Thanks for the suggestion.

I tried some different leg anatomy this time. Did you notice a difference?

Amazing background! Yeah, I want to go see some mountains now.

Me too. I've seen the Rockies... but seeing the Alps would be great. I've only seen them from 20,000 feet up.

Thank you, glad you think so.

Hopefully not too amazing. The dragon is supposed to be the focal point... But the background was fun. ^^
