Thanks man! There's still a couple of things that probably need tweaking on it, but I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out!

Really awesome but something made me think you won't mind a little critique ^_^;
Nothing too much, just add a little darker shadow under her hands if you can :3

Thanks ma'am! Yeah the shadow needs work - as I wrote on another comment, it was the last thing I did and kind of rushed it to get it done on time. Plan to go back sometime and fix it and some other bits that need touching up at some stage! Cheers!

Its for a book called Dragon song from SQP. As for how I did it - pencil sketch, and then spent around 2 weeks painting it. Cheers!

Another fantastic piece..... BUT something about it did catch my eye. but before i type it i want to add a disclaimer to remind people that im not an a-hole. DISCLAIMER--*i am no where NEAR where you are as an artist* with that being said, i wanted to say that i did notice that with all the beautiful shading on the three characters, the cast shadows seem unfinished to me. Specifically on the small dragon (his left foot seems...well....floating)
Anyway, hope that didn't ruffle feathers because i did notice that this piece was not available to critique. I guess i just look harder at your stuff because i respect your work.
I look forward to seeing more!

Cheers man! You have a good eye
- I painted the shadows last and really had to rush them when trying to meet the deadline and consequently was never happy with the way they finished up. Have plans to work on them and a couple of other little things that I ended up rushing, but been flat out and after all the time I spent on this one, its just nice to give it a break for a bit.

Hello, sweetie! I featured this in my Journal this week - hope you don't have any objections 'cause it would probably be a few weeks until I got around to doing something about it anyway - lol! Thanks for making such wonderful artwork
