I really like this picture now. I adressed the problems in the grass, and now I think its no longer holding the pic down. I also have improved virtually all aspects of the image, like coloring, lighting and texture. Anyway, here is how it ended up. A full version can be found here And here is a full size of how it originally were.

Wow. This pic is stunning. The dragon is beautifully done. Yeah, the grass might be better, but still great overall.

see this is what I call a 'Mod's choice masterpiece' good job, Frederico! Wish I could do pictures like that!  Hehehehe. Thanks. Trust me, this one was really time-consuming. But it was good, I learned a lot about digital painting with this one, even still being a rookie.

This is an absolutely lovely drawing, and a great improvement when compared with the original. The lighting is very romantic, and with more of the drawing obscured in shadow, it makes his eyes look like they're glowing. The sort of misty cloud surrounding the moon is a nice touch, as is the reflection in the moat. The only thing that I could think to nitpick at is that the streak of moonlight reflecting in the water looks like it is not quite at the right angle. I think either the moon ought to be more towards the left, or the reflection should angle out more towards the left. But regardless, this is a superb piece of art. I love it!
