Congrats Bob that's one creepy evil dude

Congrats Bob!!

Pretty ok work, author (though maybe the dragon has to watch out he won't catch fire, haha)! Perhaps what you may consider is to give some yellow-orange hue to the dragon, coming from the huge fire lightsource. This way the dragon has more connection with the rest of the image. Good luck!

pretty cool. Good job

Congrats!

Congrats!!

No sbs due to time constraints, however it's pretty straight forward. Lots of masking, and the rest is just blending modes and a couple of gradients.

Source 1 is also from SXC

Might be better if he had something to stand on, but good image.

Just wanted to say the same as CMYK: image is nice & clean, but imo it "misses" something under his feet (rock, steps, whatever). Good luck!

Thanks Waz, I can see that even some sort of texture would have been better, just out of time

Congrats!!

Just a couple of suggestions. The two griffins are hard lit from above casting hard shadows on their bodies but no shadow underneath them. The sorceress is also lit from above but casts no shadow. The winged demon in the foreground is in a different perspective and looks a bit washed out, he should have more contrast.

She's in a beam of light, so there would be no shadow. Let me see what I can do about the rest.
