Description
It seems I have trouble speedpainting in Photoshop. Mainly because I get distracted, and keep improving a picture until it's no longer a speedpaint.I spent quite a while fiddling around with the colors and composition on this picture. It looks fairly quick, but I think I must have went through at least three different backgrounds. And at least as many color schemes.
I tried adding buildings, trees, clouds to add a bit more shape to the sky. In the end, I removed all those things, and decided to go for a clear night sky.
As usual, I'll upload minor edits if I decide to improve anything.

Minor edit: slight color change.

I love this picture. The proportion of the dragon vs. the human vs. the sky. The almost human emotion on the dragon's face. The blue tint over the whole picture. Nighttime is beautiful and you made it come alive.

Yes, in fact I made it my wallpaper. I hope you don't mind. I would never use it anywhere else and would credit you if I did.

Thank you very much.
It's an honor to hear that.
I'll do my best to continue learning and improving, as well. There are an infinite amount of things to draw, after all.

Awesome! I love the sky in particular. The person sitting on the dragon's foot looks a bit odd, though. The way their right arm is forward makes it look as though they should be facing more away, but instead it's a profile shot.

Thank you.
I see what you're talking about there. People tend to give me trouble, so feedback like that is always appreciated. I'll have to try sketching out the post a bit more next time around.

I really like this one. Its interesting seeing the wing folded like that.
I agree with you decision about just a clear sky for the background, anything else would of distracted from the effect.
Excellent work.

Thank you.
Adding in mountains or clouds really threw the atmosphere off, when I was working on it. Sometimes the simple approach is best.

There's something a little awesome about this. Maybe it's the textures of the scale, the colouring of it all, and that the composition works well with it all.

Thank you.
I think it's the sky. I tried to make the sky interesting, with plenty of depth.
I re-did the sky after I found this tutorial, and I think it helped a lot. [link]
