Nice detail and nicely colored. Good lighting. The dragon is fair. You should try to treat the scales like the scales you see on reptiles. The scales on the face are not all the same size and they should flow with the sturcture of the face. Great feather detail too.

You're right, I'm not too fond of the scales, I definitely should touch up on that.

Some areas are still a bit rough and I will revisit them. ^_^

Impressive... Quite impressive I must say

The composition on the whole is what I really like about this piece. It makes the richness of the imagery and the emotional depth you so clearly and beautifully put into the character's faces come across so sharply.

This is indeed one of the crowning glories of your gallery
