Excellent piece - the composition is excellent, love the way the tail whips round into the foreground. You've also captured the feeling of impact, as the dragon hits the rock, a kind of jarring, shuddering motion.

I think this is excellent. I agree with Arzillier66...it's a very cool dragon. Like how he seems to be landing on the mountains pit. Great coloring! Very well done (thumbup)

Lovely work! *_* I'm not very fond of blurring the background though, but apart from that, way cool <3!

Since you asked nicely ;) ...
:) I quite like the composition
:) The dragon is well constructed
:) The head is particularly well designed
:) I like the hint of breath coming from its mouth
:( The blurring of the background doesn't work. Unless the main subject is up-close it makes the scene look like a miniature model (and even then you need to be careful)
:( I would expect the dragon to be more brightly lit, what with the sunlight from the sky and reflected from the snow.
:( Don't like the cartoony blurs of snow from its feet, there's not enough movement to warrant their inclusion
:( I'd have liked to have seen some more of its wings - dragons are all about wings :)
:( The sky... it's OK, but the blurred soft straight clouds indicate calm, not movement

Thanks everyone for all your comments! Im glad to hear that u guys think its ok.:)
and thanks a lot baron for checkn it out.:) really apreciate it.
and i totally agree with the things you said..the sky doesnt do justice to the movement I was trying to project. and as for the blurring..I actually tried not to blur them that much cause I know it wouldnt look good if I did but I guess i shouldnt have blurred them at all. And I really wanted to show the wings in the begining but when i came up with the drawing of the dragons body I thought it would be a bad idea, cause I really like the body and head and if I had shown the wings the dragons body would be shown smaller in the image and the detail on the dragon would have been lost. so, I chose to concentrate on the dragons body more.
Thanks again to everyone! I obviously have a lot more to learn! Gonna start sketching some more right now!! Peace!

scored ya some points, this is nice work. My only critique is I would rather see lose unfinished painting for the backround instead of blurring it. It serves the same purpose for depth of field. In my oppenion anyways, good work.

I agree that the background is a bit too out of focus. Really like the lighting, and the pose is great too...nice stance. Everyone is posting dragons lol! I have one I am gonna post soon too, everyone will be bored of dragons soon.

Keep it up

Alright..no more blurring for me..hehe (paint)
I'm glad a lot of you like the design of the dragon though...I spent quite sometime on the pencils. I also tried to go for a stronger looking dragon, not the typical serpent like body...I wanted him kinda solid/buff, more dinosaur like.
Anyway, still working on a new piece right now, hopefully I can submit it by next week. thanks again everyone!

The dragon is excellent! I agree about the blurred background. I see it a little boxed too, some space to the left and showing a little more wings would be nice.
But everybody can be a critic :) Great one!
