Oil...painting....? You've done an amazing job using this medium! I always struggle with oils usually sticking to acryllics ^^''
I love the way you've captured the luminosity that oil paints create and the sheer range of shades for every colour you've used. I think my favourite bits are the sky (omg the clouds look so real!) and the dragons head where the bright blue really creates the scaled effect.
I'm sure you've heard it before I thought this was a digital work at first, but to find out it's done by hand (and with oils!!!) is simply spectactular. Good job you've definetly spent your close-to-a-year well! <3

Nice wyvern, indeed. Looks he's in a hurry, seems they are calling him in from Skyrim.
Everything about this painting seems awesome. It's one of the best traditional paintings I've seen here on dA.
