Description I'm not sure what the deal with the hat is, but I'm sure there is a story behind it.

This piece is a bit of an experiment. This type of art hasn't been generating any kind of discussion or much interest in the 3d-characters-rendered groups. So, I decided to post one here to see what happens. It is a bit difficult to classify as it combines elements of rendering and traditional digital editing work.

Looks fantastic! I looooooooooooove the hat! It starts your mind ticking! If it is only a dragon, who cares... But a dragon with a hat.... hmm....

...and it has a wonderful "cover-look-and-feel" >>>>>>>>> Excellent work!!!

Especially a hat with a skull on it.

I been thinking about re-doing this scene as a regular 3D render to see if maintains its character or not.

I think you did good on posting this here at the Anime section, since the artwork style obvioulsy matches the category.
The characters look pretty cool together, and the dragon has a lot of personality with that hat. It was an interesting touch! ^^
The lighting looks pretty good on the girl, although it could be a bit better on the dragon.
Looking pretty good, keep it up!

I feel like redoing this one sometime. The material used on the dragon doesn't quite match the scene. Oh well. Like I said, it was an experiment.
I like the feel of the scene even if the implementation is a bit off.

Oh it looks pretty good in a general sense. I like the composition and poses. The outfit is also good and the girl looks familiar (Madoka?).
Things I would try here are (as you said) the dragon materials (solid colors would work better, I think) and adding more facial expression to the girl.
The scene I am working now has a full 3D enviroment and 3 characters, and I don't know if I will ever get it right...

Why yes, it is Madoka. The big headache with multiple characters is that when you get the lighting good on one, it doesn't look right on the other ones. grrrrrr......

To bad I can't write. I'd love to know what the story about these 2 is. I always enjoy a piece that takes on a life of its own when you are working on it.

Not for a book. Just something floating around in my head.
