Wow guess who had to rewrite this because their browser froze!! Love iit.
Haa I tooke a screenshot but I cant see all of it so I guess I'll just have to remember it.
I think you should make the dragon pop a little but more than the background, you should take advantage of any colors of the original (because this is from HTTYD2, right?) and put those to work! Using complementary colors is also a godsend. The piece should also be a little bit more consintent in the style. The coloring of the trees, dragon, and sky aren't vrey similar and while the trees and dragon look pretty interesting paired up, the sky is a little bland. The real sky is composed of different colors, and it can really make a picture more interesting!!! Instead of blurring out things in the back, it's a better idea to use paler/darker colors. Taking your respective art style and the overall piece into consideration, I would probably go for murkier but the choice is really yours to make uvu. I would also suggest making those vines a bit thicker, greener, and less abundant. Also you shoule make the likes on the body match a lil more. If you keep them a similar color it can make it look a lot better. I think that the tan lines look best!! Finally, i would remove those big sparkles from the eyes. They don;t really match and they jsut kind of take away from the rest. It's already such a bright piece that it just makes it look a little bit too busy. I mean I also haven;t seen httyd2 yet so if it holds important to that I would make thme a little bit less prominent. Or do keep less prominent ones if its not relevant to httyd2. idek.
Wow okay this has gotten really, really long sorry. I'm almost done!!!
I really love the textures. Especially the dragon. Layering the colors makes it look amazing!! ESPECIALLY in that frontmost wing. I am in love with that wing.

I'm bad at critiques so here goes nothing.
First off, the anatomy is really well done, especially those wings. The odd combination of colors kinda distracts from the piece, at least for me, but the colors are part of your style, so I can't bash that.
The sparkle in the eyes kinda...looks off. It makes it hard to read the expression and is kinda large. Maybe make it smaller or lower the opacity?
Finally, the blurring. It's been something that actually has bugged me in your style since you started it, but I'm way too nice to say anything. On this piece it looks fine, since it's not too blurred. On pieces without a background, the blurring kinda looks...off, and a little too blurred.
The lines are kinda sketchy, especially on the trees and don't really resemble any bark. I'd suggest looking at tutorials and referencing trees for help on shading them.
As for the shading on Nathan himself, I agree with a previous critique. There needs to be more shadows on him because of the branches on the tree. Try experimenting with different light sources because it seems like a lot of your deviations have little to no light source and are shaded in the same place.
I hope this was good and not too mean of a critique.

im not very good at critique so here goes nothing ..
This piece is very beautiful and certainly must have took a lot of time to make. I can simply tell by how complex the colors and textures are and how the shading colours vary.
However, the shading does not fit in all places. By the looks of it, the picture takes place at around sunset, but the light source seems to be coming from higher up than one would think. The shading also differentiates in parts it shouldn't - trees that seem to be getting the same amount of attention from the light source are differently shaded and/or lit. And if Nathan is in a woodland, one would imagine he would be more shadowed by the surrounding trees.
However, I really adore the style you used for shading. The way that the colors all seem to fit the landscape perfectly makes the piece truly beautiful. I also love the textures used - it adds to the serene mood.
Overall, I really like the picture. It's colorful and clearly has effort put into it.
dear lord that was probably awful - im not one for critiquing since i cant draw lmfao

First off, the colors are magnificent. The combination of the colors and the shading is just, ugh, wow. I love it. The pose and wings are impressive, simply because they're generally hard to pull off. You did them very well. I really like the sparkles in the eyes, they add to the atmosphere I think. The background is nice, and it sort of outlines Nathan on a sense. The colre on the background are very appealing to look at. The technique you used is very very well-done. The strokes of the pen are sharp and free, pretty to look at and generally more detailed.
All in all, "Bewildering the World" is an amazing piece of artwork, so huge kudos to you Awkward~ e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="
