Description
Whew! Finally!Well guys, my first ever digital drawing! My brain hurts from all of the one hundred million buttons, shortcuts etc. from photoshop, but it's finally done. (No idea how long it took me, and, to be honest, I don't even want to know xD)
This was for 's contest, so the character is hers.
Judging by the colors, I figured he would live in some sort of jungle, so of course I had to draw him over some snowy mountains. Suck it logic! xD Maybe they migrate once a year?
Anyways, I'm quite happy about how it turned out and I think I've learned a lot about photoshop while making this one. Whadda ya guys think?
Enjoy!

I don't think so. I KNOW so. There's a difference XD
Eeyup.
Awesome, right? After this is Christmas break, then we don't get another break until April, which is Spring break/Easter Bunny time... Little bunny Foo Foo hoppin' through the forest, pickin' up the field mice and boppin' them on the head...

Pretty awesome yeah. We also have an easter bunny, but for some reason children have to try and find chocolate eggs hidden by this bunny. Don't ask me why, but my geuss is that the person who came up with the idea ate a bit too many 'magic mushrooms'... xD

Our Easter Bunny leaves baskets outside the door full of candy. He also apparently really likes hiding plastic eggs full of candy for children to find.
Magic mushrooms? Who would eat magic mushrooms?

Ah, you guys do the same thing? xD
Well, the easter bunny would, for one... I don't trust him. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep. Same thing.
The Tooth Fairy would, too.

Oh yes, absolutely.
But not Santa, Santa is cewl. Even though he too breaks into your house at night... Now that I think of it; What is it with holidays and people/creatures breaking into your house? Oh forget it... Is it just me or does it all sound pretty screwed up all of the sudden? xD

Santa breaks into your house and gives you presents, the Tooth Fairy breaks in and steals your teeth, Jack Frost freezes your car doors shut, the Easter Bunny leaves a basket on your doorstep (and left a dog on my balcony when I was seven or eight), the Sandman breaks in and knocks you out for at least five hours, and all the creepy creatures come out and steal your candy on Halloween :I
Yep, sounding pretty screwed up to me. Holidays.

The easter bunny left a dog on your balcony... Ooooowkay. xD
I don't have a dog... I have a weird long-haired hamster!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep. Sadly, after a year, the dog was shot and then run over twice.
A weird, long-eared hamster... A really small rabbit?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He was shot? Well that's not cool...
No he has long hairs. xD
He looks at least twice as big than what he actually is. Here's a pic I once made as a size comparison with a micro-jet: [link]

Yeah. In the middle of the night. Worst part is I LIKED THAT DOG! D:<
Awwwwww! He's so cute!... Oh, God, that sounded girly... 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hm, so why exactly was he shot? Angry neighbours?
Pfft, at least you have the right to sound girly. xD
He's named after the mythbuster's testdummy ''Buster'' (Original, I know ^^) and he eats . Still better than my previous one; He figured out a way of throwing his poo out of his cage through the entire room. Got nasty...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have no idea.
Yeah, but I don't normally act girly...
I would've named him Gluttony if he eats .
He threw his poop... out of the cage... across the room...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes... He did... With his face... Not going into full details here but you get the point. xD

XD That's a grossly talented hamster.

Very very cool for your first submitted Photoshop work. Good job with use of colours, as well as the background.
Now for criticism (yay!). First thing that hit me was that the dragon doesn't seem to stand out enough (that is assuming that the dragon is in fact the main part of this pic). The background is much simpler than the main figure, which is a great start. However, with something like a flying dragon - which I'm gonna assume is currently in motion - blurring the background a bit tends to be a good way to go.
I'm also just gonna go ahead and mention that it took me a while to realise that the dragon wasn't missing a wing, but rather facing in a different direction to what I thought I was seeing. Maybe that's just cos I've had a tiring day; though it's still probably worth mentioning.
So yeah. All that blabbering on is just my opinion, of course. The more I look at this, the better it gets. But hey, this is a great amazing first piece; you should be proud!

Thanks! Also for the critics, it helps a lot.
You're right about the background, I did blur the further away parts, but I kinda forgot about the midground I guess.
Thanks again. ^^
