Thank you so much for your interest and kind comments! I use Photoshop and a wacom tablet to paint my works

Okay, first of all that I've noticed is amazing color blending! I love love the colors, the sky gets lighter as it touches the mountains, the upper and lower color of the clouds, and the reflective colors. You're killing me with such beauty! But, as I took another look. I noticed something, out of place. The bird on the bottom left corner is out of focus. Which is quite noticeable due to the darker background. The same problem with the one above Toothlessβs right wing. And the one in the bottom right corner, the one near the display. But the last one was barely noticeable, so, you're good.
Great transition, Amazing color choices, phenomenal outcome. I adore your work, one more work to love. :3

Thank you so much for your critique! Regarding the out-of-focus birds, I kinda did that on purpose to give it more momentum, but maybe I could've done it better

You're welcome~!Β Β
Oh, well I guess that's alright. And if there's any mistakes you would make, I'm sure the outcome will be fantastic, nonetheless.Β Β

It feels really hard to critique art of this skill, but here goes!
The position of the dragon(I believe it's Toothless) is nicely put, I can't picture it well in any other position. The color contrast of the white birds and the black dragon feels nice for me. I feel the focal point of the image being the dragon while still having other things around it, yet not take much of my attention. The blur of the closer birds was also amazing. It gave me a true feeling of movement in the picture. I can say with certainty that if the birds in the front were not blurred, I would feel stiffness in a picture that is supposedly representing 'in-flight' creatures. I just think the only thing that put me off was the clouds on the very top. I feel like they are a good add to make it look less dull compared to the bottom half, but clouds having no reflection of the sunlight, and even having a mysterious source of purple just didn't feel right to me.
The originality can be different based on what we're comparing it with. From the dA front page, this is quite the unique style that draws attention for those who likes these types of lovely colors and heaven-like environment. But originality based off your past works, I have to say this gives me the same feel/look as most(which isn't even a bad thing... I love all your art). This is solely up to you if you want to change your style of process of coloring or whatever. But I personally hope you never change your ways of coloring or whatnot.
To this day, I cannot imagine how you pick these colors out and bring them all together with such amazing synergy. How you mix bits of green inside the orange clouds makes me think, "If I mixed green inside orange clouds, I'd be unintentionally drawing throw-up-acid." The way you mixed a bit of pink into the sun's shine, the way you blur the far away mountains with this aura-kind of look. It just gives such a weird feeling when I see these things. Very mesmerizing. I applaud. Your work is always amazing and I hope you never change e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="
