Veeery nice!
Really professional work. The only thing that I think should be done different, is the water. It looks flat and... a bit weird.
Other than that, awesome.
Reviews for "Sunset Dragon"
Awesome! Professional
I love the action in this picture. It really looks like an action photo of flying at speed. the light/shadow is very good and texture of the wings, with the almost feathery look is interesting.
Tell people to see it at Full Size. I love the detail- many people wouldn't bother to do the scales and I love the eyes, which look so much more significant at FS.
Overall, it is very, very good and as dragon-lover, I approve strongly.
Just a couple of tiny thoughts-
Having chosen to do the scales, I would say the texture could be improved. Either you go for the traditional overlapping scales that dragons are usually given, in which case this should show at the edges and would make the image yet more stunning at FS, or you go for scales that look more like real snake and lizard scales. Either way although its good to have the scale effect, when one studies them, they look like the way I draw scales- a series of crescents drawn on the body. If you manage to go beyond the standard images of dragon body/skin in terms of looking like a real animal, you will step out beyond the vast multitude of dragon artists, so perhaps you could look at a variety of lizard skins etc and see what grabs you.
I think of the water below as being on an alien landscape- perhaps not actually water- otherwise despite being sunset and movement-blurred, the look of the 'water' is a bit strange.
I am not so sure about the tilted horizon, I think I would hang the picture at an angle!

Thank you so very much for such a detailed review! :D
I always find scales so tedious, which is why i tend to rush them. But i completely agree with you. And definitely want to start improving the scales.
THe water was a rushing afterthought :P I also agree with you there as well, it does look weird, lol.
Thanks again :)
Nice!!
Nice dragon! I like it alot! I cant really draw dragons, so this made my mouth hang open in awe!!
check out my artwork!
Oooh
Amazing, the only real thing to complain about is that the water looks like it's full of waves AND completely still(Flat) at the same time.
nice
got a good scence of speed, just needs a little more
