I couldn't imagine what to do with this image, but you've done a very nice job with it.

Good. I agree with pearlie, this is not a easy source

it was a bit hard but i was enjoying working on it

it was a bit hard but i was enjoying working on it

... WELL DONE !!

Nice 1!

author.. please supply your sources (even if it is your own picture you have to put a copy of it into your step by step) very on theme image.. hate to see it pulled on a silly technicality

(just go to my stuff, my contests and click the add SBS thingy on the bottom) and up load the original pic and/or source

IT's a shame you couldn't get a more in focus picture. Yeah as Drivenslush said, just stick the pic in your SBS and you will be fine. You have to make an SBS anyways so the mods won't remove it.

nice idea

Nice. What's with the dots?

I felt it was too bland so added the dots just to give a teeny bit of something that didnt interfere too much with the pic

nice, I agree with the 'dots' comments, IMO maybe some corrosion and ageing techniques instead?

Super poster!

very good work!

I like the dots! It does give more interest and is stylized.

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....!!

niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

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

better without the fire

Really nice chop Author! Well done

thank you.

aaarrggghghh, I've set fire to my bloody wing !!! lol Nice well done

nope. the wings are behind the flames...

Nice source pick, but if you're able to recover the person's original skin under the birds image, would be nice. Right now it looks a bit blurry. Good luck!
