watermark is a bit overdone |

I've been working on it for three hours now, and I'd appreciate some helpful comments, like how I can make it look more realistic. You can always save the picture, add notes in paint and then re-upload it, or whatever. |

We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

I do not see anything wrong with it. |

I think it's awesome. Are you going to colour it? The only thing I can contribute at the moment is that it perhaps looks a bit to smooth, as if it's a 3D render or something. Adding some texture to the surfaces, if you think this is appropriate, would really bring it to life. |

Do you really think something is wrong with it? Or, are you starting to suspect that technical skill is not the whole of art? |

My only critique is that is doesn't really look like a dragon, but rather some kind of alien thing. A mix between Aliens and dragons maybe. |

Marvo has seen many dragons in the Danish dragon zoos and so does not take a liberal view to deviations from their proper appearance. |

You might want to add a bit of negative space around the beak; it seems a bit crowded right now. |

The only thing that catches my eye, besides the smoothness that Xei pointed out, was the way the lip is visible at the corner of the mouth (which is characteristic of some birds and amphibians). I don't think reptiles have lips, and it adds a bit to the soft texture of the dragon where normally they'd tend towards the rough, scaly side. That was probably intentional anyways, but there you go. Other than that it's pleasing to the eye. |

Great work, Puffin! I do agree with Xei and Invader, about the smoothness. Also, the only thing that really stands out to me is that I think the parts on the sides of the face, where the spines jet out, could be touched up a bit. You can really see where you used a difference sized brush to get the areas in between the spines. Maybe if you just smoothed out some of the edges, and blended them more into the spines, it would look more like a solid plate. Actually, I'm not sure what kind of material it is, on the side of the face. It looks like hair or feathers, but blends with the beak/snout, as if it was solid bone. Maybe if I knew what kind of texture it represented, I would be able to better interpret it. |
