haha thanks! I didn't realize I had a recognizable style but I guess its a good thing and thanks Madamemonty, I put a lot of time into the SBS and still it could be way more complicated than I had time to explain.

Very clever, and nice work on the sbs too!!

Thank you JerseyAce! I think thats the first time I've ever gotten "clever"

Absolutely fantastic! Great lighting!

Thank you!

Your dragon has some nice work, but what I really like is how you integrated it into the background sources - nice lighting effects.

Amazing

Thanks you thanks you!! And yes I started messing around with the radial blur set to zoom and got a really nice effect! I also added in more of the streaky shadows Glad you like it!!

ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh............woow.......... always wanted a "Parrosus", where can I get one?

Harry Potter will be red-eye when I ride a Parrosus

nice colors, great blending.... almost PERFECT!!! (only feel that it the mane, tail and wings were more flowing... like hair, but this is only my personal preference)

Stunning ... excellent work, wonderful creation! If I could I would fav it 2 or 3 times!

OH THANKS Glad you guys like it so much!
I do see where you are coming from aheman, but I really wanted to stick with the totally feather approach. Thanks for your input though, much appreciated

Beautiful creation, wonderful color!! Well worth the effort you put into it! The revise makes it even better!

Wonderfully thought out and done.. AWESOME!!!

Excellent image!

Wonderful colours,nice reflection,it's a fantastic creation !

nice nice

nice color combination!

this looks like a cool animal
)

NICE... WELL DONE but agreed with aheman. The flowing problems because there's a minor shadows in my opinion.

And this is just my input, Author: the Rim Lights should never be 100% white. Photographers will know about this, even if it's directly hit from the sun, there will be a little yellowish or even reddish for the rim lights.

Still, top notch blending, Author! High votes! Good Luck!

Beautiful composition, nice colors and wonderful creation.

Very nice work!!

Magnifique !

Thanks everyone!!!!

Hayato, thanks that was a good call, I updated the background so the light has more of an orangey glow, and is not so pristinely white.

Amazing!!!!

Love the bright colors author!..
