Nice build of wings

You done good author.

nice

Great work! Love the colors and the mood is great. Good luck.

Just a beautiful creation. I think this is one of your best works....well...(one), you have many more. That is what I want to see, creativity and endless imagination. GL

Great effect, great use of the source images. If, in my opinion, I can lift the dragon up a little bit as it's quite close to the bottom of the canvas But apart from that, I really like this artwork - especially the gold colour dragon

@ Riady: Good observation, but I like where he is in the sky in relation to the background colors, so I cropped off some of the top of the sky. Now it looks better to me. Thanks!

Nice work, author.

B-U-T-ful!!!!

Amazing!

Beautiful creation, author! This lighting direction is always tricky, since it's basically backlit from the sun behind...you'd think that the front of the entire dragon would be darker...but that being said...I like it the way it is. I want to be able to see it the way you've depicted, not the way it probably 'would be'. Nice job! Agreed that it is up there with some of your best!

Very impressive work, I think there are a few things I might have done a bit different but I really like your dragon. VERY WELL DONE.

Great work, one of your best IMO! I like the re-cropping you've done, really improves the image and gives more importance to the subject.
I wish mistermonty would grey down the pxleyes.com, it can be too obtrusive at times.

Beautiful piece author...This time i am really really surprised cause i had no clue that u are behind this amazing work...Well done again and instant fav from me...

Congrats Bob beautiful work

Congrats my friend..... I knew it! (One, only one of your best!)

Nice work... congratulations.

Great! i wish i can say more!

Nice idea. What are the blurry little specks in the background?

I guess u can see it clear now ,go for HIGH res

Looks nice....not much work but you did your job! Good luck.

how is that a step by step? i see 2 times the final result and once the source image

this could be just an existing line art or a brush, could you show a little more in the steps? maybe just the workpath black on white? or something..

Yippee Yahoo!

Really interesting textures you created! Beautiful colors, too.

Congrats my friend!
nice and pretty image...

Congrats, Cornelia! Lovely as always.

Congrats again Cornelia

Beautiful image - You put a LOT of hard work into this, and the results show it. Excellent entry.

Pure hard work!...this is just awesome on every detail.
and this is my fav too author,GL.

Fantastic creation! Beside hard working things, I really like how you played with light. Even though the candle lights aren't located in a really good composition (which you can improve more), a nice touch on the saturation level still made them great. This image looks like a 3D artwork. Definitely one of your best works!

very nice composition... gr8 work..... this is called Passion......

Thanks a lot for the great comments and advices...I made some slight changes thanks to my friend Langstrum and i think that image looks a bit more dramatic now...Thanks...)

I dream to be able to build something like this! Perfect!
Fav!

Good luck!

Nice work, author, very convincing. Love the lighting and atmosphere.

dats a lotta Harry Potter good luck

Very well done great image. gl

Beautiful work but not much use of the source.

Thanks a lot for the wonderful comments guys, it means a lot to me...@freejay, source image was own face, i used whole and place it on major object on stage, so i think that usage of the source is ok, and thanks for your comment...

excellent job
