Better than I could ever do, for sure LOL but I do have a few words, ma'am. I liked the whole thing, I think it's beautiful, but if in the future you wanted to try and make it a little more.....realistic? Picture-esque? The blurriness of the moon and the mountains (?XD) were a little too consistant and a little too...much. lol. For example, the closer cliffs should not be quite as blurry, IN MY OPINION. and while the moon is, yes, a fairly far object, the blurriness has caused it to lose shape, while the rest of the sky is perfectly clear. Now, you know me. I give my realistic this-is-what-you-can-do-better shit, but I do love it, and I only tell you the above to help you improve, you know that e.deviantart.net/emoticons/let… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Lick)"/> great work.

maybe blur the background less? but other than that, it looks amazing and you should totally try this shading again.

This is so pretty!
If I may reccomend, have the light get darker the farther away it is from the moon.

Ooh, this is really awesome. 8D
The character design and concept of the picture are absolutely lovely, and pretty well-executed.
Though the back feet look very awkward. They look more like paws than draconic feet, and the way they bend makes it looks very uncomfortable for the character's ankles.
His/her tail looks like it tapers out a little too quickly too, I'd look more natural if you made it a little smaller near the centre. I don't really know how to describe it, I can doodle up what I mean if you don't understand. xD
The shading is also a little confusing. It looks like it's coming from the bottom right corner, but the right wing kind of contradicts that, and looks like it's got a light shining at it head-on behind it.
The overall style of the shading is pretty good, but I'd suggest making it a little more textured to match whatever sort of scales the dragon has, and blur it a little bit less.
Your use of different colours for shading is very effective though, and gives the image a pretty nice "nighty" feel to it.
The sun/moon-in-the-corner thing is a little overused, but in instances like this one, it can make the most sense. The subtle reflection of the moon near the edges of the character are a nice touch, too.
Blurring the background to give a sense of distance was done very well, but I'd say to blur it just a bit less, and don't blur the moon much, if at all, since the moon itself doesn't actually glow, it just whores light from the sun.
Overall, this is very nice. 8D But you probably already know I think that, I just think that "it just whores light from the sun" is the best note to wrap things up with.
