Great mood and colorings here. Although, I'm not quite sure if Im fond of the humanoid position of the dragons right arm in comparison to the other.

Excellent work.

digart1 [2006-01-28 16:51:11 +0000 UTC]

Very nice. There are a couple areas that took me a while to figure out so I suspect that it may need a wee bit more shadow definition for example between the arm stretching down and the foremost bent leg...just little things. But I really do like it.

tgau [2006-01-28 16:31:58 +0000 UTC]

excellent work as usual. beautiful coloring.

my only criticism is that the dragon's pose is hard to figure out at first. It took me a few seconds to see where the dragon's head was. At first glance, I thought the dragon's right elbow was a long pointy nose. I thought the dragon had a long snake-like neck that curved downward to face the hero. I think the negative space between his neck and right forearm also threw me a bit.

...but only for a second or two! After a closer look, I figured it out! (I can be kind of thick sometimes.)

Nice work.

For some reason this reminds me of a Greek tale mixed together with Dragonheart! *shakes head* XD Love the lighting... Is the dragon suppose to look like stone though?

Beautiful either way!

AmeMusashi [2006-01-28 10:19:25 +0000 UTC]

the details are absoloutly BREATH TAKING! the dragon looks so awsome, I simply adore the expression and the wings~ Kya~ I love the faint jade-like green/blue marks on the dragon, really artestic!

one thing bugs me, though, maybe it's just me, but the human/elf guy's leg/calf looks a little- slanted? I dont know, not the leg that's closer to the fire, I'm talking about the other one, I kind of feel as if the knee-joint doesn't look right, but perhaps it's the folds on his clothes that confuse me, I'm not sure...

either way, the picture is still awsome~

This is just awesome. Love the lighting on it Although I wonder if the glow of the fire really would be that strong to make the dragon's head light up like that at that height.
But he still looks great

i wonder who's giving who the riddle? dragon has the posture and the man has the gesture that either one of them is thinking/giving an answer, or the other is giving the riddle~
