Description Work in progress.  The cliffs are still rough and lack refinement, the dragon even more so, but there's a trick that I still haven't learned between balancing the two and refining the work further. Any input or suggestions on tutorials or ways of further refining this are welcome - 8/6/2016

What a great concept! You have some really beautiful, saturated color choices going on here, and a good sense of big shapes and patches of light/shadow. If I had to suggest anything it would be to push your darks more on the dragon, she looks a bit monotone compared to the scenery. I can see that you shaded with some variety colors on her, but some blues and purples in the shadows might also make her pop more. High contrast areas like the shadows side of those cliffs work great for rock, I would continue to emphasize those. The top of the cliffs get a bit lost in transition, so maybe also a hard edge of light color on top, where the sun hits the surface? Overall though a really nice palette that's satisfying to look at.

Ooh I will have to try that, Thank you so much for the feedback! I worry a little with the saturation, that it might night register value as well, but the blues and purples in the shadows I will work on in the next go round.  Thank you so much for the helpful feedback.
