Description
For my girlfriend Liz [link] who has been wanting a picture for quite sometimeI think I am happy with the end result. All I know is I can't look at this anymore and that usually means I am done. Even tho I know there are a ton of mistakes. Comments & Critiques welcome!

Yeahhhh hes not hiding too well in this one haha. I kinda just threw him in there at the very end. I think the toughest hog to find is in Sea Dragon tho. I am proud of that one haha

beautiful illustration !!! - the light , the details and the composition are really good-for me it looks like the dragon is having an conversation with that little butterfly in front of him-i wonder what they are talking about....
OrmIrian is probably right when she says that the outlines of the dragon are a bit too strong- anyway i like the overall effect of these different approaches - like the real and magic world coexist in one place-yet separated.Even if it was not intentionally- it creates an special dynamic in the image.
Hope to see more dragons from you!

I wanted to show some kind of interaction with the butterfly and the dragon just didnt know what. Ended up just sitting the butterfly on the rock...enjoying the view with the dragon
Thats really cool you caught that tho!
I really need to do away with outlines...thats my next goal I do kinda like them in this picture so I think thats why I left them in there. Makes the dragon stand out a bit more...but takes away alot of realism. You will definitely see more dragons tho

AMAZING! Absolutely breathtaking! This is my new favorite piece. I love it, and I am very very very proud of you! I don't know where to start, the dragon is amazing, and I like the nuances you added, ie the spikes
The flowers and butterflies and grass and trees are beautiful!
Thank you baby

This is a magnificent piece...really wonderful from the incredible details to the beautiful background. Since it wasn't listed, approximately how long would you say it took you to complete this?
I honestly don't believe there's too much wrong with this, although when it's your own work and you stare at it enough, yeah it can drive you mad xD
The real thing that popped out to me was the left forearm and the toes of the dragon. The hind leg is nicely tucked in behind some grass, however, the forearm seems to stick out much more, almost floating slightly above the grass, when in actuality, it should be hidden beneath the blades to give it the correct perception of depth. I've noticed you haven't replied to any of the other comments or critiques so hopefully you get this >.< It's a fantastic piece regardless!
