Description From small beginnings, great things grow....

most of all beginnings are hard

the little dragon You show is so defenceless

but still he wants to protect his mother who...

is dying


You know I was asking myself why did I came to such conclusion

the point is that dragons never lay their head like this

unless they are out of strength and dying

Also this sight of a dragon-mother which seems so tired and hopeless...

this little one will have a hard time...

I'm actually pretty amazed at how well the painted and photo textures work together so well. I think that this is probably the -only- picture I can remember seeing photo textures applied properly to a digital painting, most people just kinda throw them in and they look disgusting. :\

Don't worry about the wings, it's totally good without them. Gives it an interesting perspective.

wow, you are really hard on yourself. This a good work! The wings are awesome. The eyes....wowzer.
Maybe the scales could use a bit more definition. And if you want to nit pik, perhaps the baby could look a little more 'seperate' from the adult. And I only looked hard to see what you wern't please with...Everything else is teriffic.
I still think it's fantastic.
