I think it's cool Donna. I might have put the dragon against a more sinister looking sky, but other than that, it's great. You did a great job with the spikes. Well done!
"Eeww yuck"? Always nice to see a helpful critique... anyway, I am quite impressed by the dragon here, did you model it yourself or render a pre made model? I like the idea of putting it against the photo of the sky, but I think you need to add some shadow to give the dragon a more realistic presence; perhaps try to make the feet look as if they are partly covered by the cloud? Also I would reposition the dragon slightly as it is too centered for my liking ATM (you would need to shrink it down, or cut off part of the tail to acheive this though).
Its a pre made model I found and I created the materials and textures to add to it. I agree about making some of the cloud cover the feet, I'm going to try to give this another go and parhaps have the Dragon more face on and off to the side a little , I may also try it on a different background. I'm also thinking of giving it a puff of flame.
Donna, you have such creative and imaginative ideas! The minute I saw this (voting booth) I had to check it out. Neat dragon and I like the way his cape is caught on his spikes. This is just in time for halloween :) Love those big teeth and the toe nails. The clouds make a good background. I agree about having the cloud cover his feet. Right now he's sailing through the sky on my monitor...thanks for all your work :))
Very cool creation my dear. I would LOVE to see you do another go at it and add that puff of fire as well as maybe tucking his legs up a bit to give more of the illusion of flying through the sky. I love the new kind creations you have been supplementing your already awesome talents with!
