lighting on the face is nice as is the addition of the face to the candle

Thanks, I had like 200 ideas for contest, and finilly decided on this one, lol.

Lucky you... I didn' have any idea for any contest of this week!

I'm sorry. Maybe you burned yourself out with all your previous entries, lol.

very nice , voted against myself here..... lovely work! good luck

killer image, great work!

you could make the flames a little more hehehe, kidding, it's perfect

Nice work with the shading, I like the claws too. The lowest part of the tail on the left side can do with a bit more masking and the turn around the tower looks like the dragon has a knack there. If you make the turn from the tail shorter, it will look more natural curved. But well done for the rest! Good luck!

Edit: tail is fixed, including the masking

Great job

thanks for the tips wazowski. i believe i fixed the turning problem of the tail (you was absolutely right), but i'm sorry, i can't tell where is the masking problem.. anyways i hope it's better now.

it seems like your dragon is burning its wing, at least that's what i see. otherwise, i like the idea, good luck to you

Wow... \o/!...

Fantastic work...Few minor observation...fire is just a bit strong and unnatural...and i think that the wings are to low...They have to start in the line of front legs...Beside that...fantastic thing...good luck author

not an awesome entry................ But Its an extra ordinary... Fantastic one......!!!! claps for you...!!

Flame could be better blended in Multiply mode...

My Favorite....!!

i tried different blending modes and different settings for the fire, i was most satisfied with this one.

better without the fire
