What a neat ear fan, and I love the nose horns ...
Do you think the even shade through out the piece causes a flatness? If you place the original Alligator(separate layer) over the chop and blink it (turn the top layer on and off) you will see the difference in shading become very visible. A SUPER SOFT Burn/Dodge brush over the even areas (darkening/burn the bottom of the head, and lightning/dodging the over all face) to give it more of a "Sphere Feel" then a flat sheet of paper. Just be careful not to over do it, the texture is wonderful. Each horn might be enhanced with burning gently on the darker side to give them more of a TUBE look as opposed to the flatness they carry at this time. (according to the light source). The teeth are a GREAT example on how the horns could look. In fact... just copying the shading of the teeth to the horns would work quite nicely. ONLY MY SUGGESTION. Very good work all round.. and as always... IMHO. GOOD LUCK.

Good dragon. You might want to show how some of the elements (scales, ear things) were made.

Much improved look & good SBS!

Author, one suggestion: after a second look, I realized we should be able to see part of the ear thing on the left side of the dragon's head.

Corrected...I totally had that made and then forgot to make the layer visible when I saved it. You can actually see it in the SBS steps...D'OH!

Promising... GL

I liked your SBS, lots of work forming the dragon, at the end, good job! Good luck.

Congrats, Ron!

Congratulations... nice work.
