Very impressive work. The colors are beautifully saturated and the design of the dragon is excellent. Nice details and lighting.

I usually mean 'sir' as a formality to people I have yet to know well.

oh wow, crazy color contrast. somehow that blue on that red makes me eyes water. i hesitate to critique something like this but if you put some kind of highlight, gold or something, on the edges closest to the light source it'd look more directional

That is so damn nice! That is what dragons should look like, in my mind anyway.

KGBigelow In reply to EgeWorks [2005-03-06 21:23:28 +0000 UTC]

Thankyou very much! I figured flyig dragons should be more lightly built, but still having armour plating because of their violent nature.
