so saturated. x_x photoshop and a top layer of real colored pencil on photo matte paper, to tighten up some things.
this, believe it or not, started with an ink blot. We had to find compositions in them. Was the assignment for eccentric illustration.

yay inkblots :P

However this dragon rocks! I love your ability to create creatures that have alot of life to them even when they are lounging around. Their form and musculature is believable. And this guy's eyes... they are not outright noticable, but they really contribute to making the dragon look alive, because they look intelligent and like glass, focusing on something intruiging in the trees. If you're looking on something to work on, the tree bark looks a little like mud. I see you changed the color closer to the top of the trunk where the light changes because of the leaves, that helps the forshortening with the impression of distance (I hate trying to draw forshortening! I'm so bad at it!)

But, man, that dragon.... :D

Uwah... so pretty *-*
I love the blue tones. And the design on the dragon. Yush...Horray for inkblots if they can come up with something so neat

Pretty! Nice floof rendering.

Eh, I don't think it's too saturated. Can't have everything looking too grey, can we? ;)
