Description
On Mother's Day I composed a scene for my mom, but I didn't have the experience I now have and the scene was poorly lit. I really like dark scenes, but most people don't, and when later transferred to a poster everything was "swallowed up" by darkness. This is my second attempt. The lighting was mainly Sun-Sky HDRI from Skies of Radiance series. The other issue was that apparently when I made last minute changes to the mother's expression, from panic and fear to determination, I didn't save after the render. So I had to redo the expression. I hope I managed to capture the essence of the original while improving upon it. In addition, I did a bonus render that I'll be submitting from a view above the wyvern's right shoulder and a little repositioning.

Here is the original for comparison:
