Yeah! finally :3

The lineart is pretty god X3 but the colouring is even better :3

Have to say the wings are amazing~ it looks likes its a real thin layer of skin! And the detail is quite a sight :3

I suppose the light source would've been a little dark blue-ish (I'm guessing its night time :3 )or the glowing red from the fire also the left wing might be illuminated by the torch she is holding :3

Slight things but Its still a great piece of work! :3

Bugsy, again, awesome. The wings are really cool and the lineart and colouring are very cool.

The only thing i would say is that the hair would be flying much further backwards because not only are they flying forwards but also aginst garvity

The detail on the dragon is outstanding! And the opacity on the wings is a very nice touch!

I noticed you have several (well, a few works) posted in the forums, do you jump from image to image and find that helps you maintain interest?

Shirai: thanks

While dolouring I was considering a light blue lightsource from a bright moon above to the left, along with the flame on the right (and very slightly from the town). The illumination on the wing, I completely forgot about that XD That's coz at first I was planning to make them look solid, so the light wouldn't reach the other side. Should've thought about it ;_;

Akatt: thx I have a problem with hair, especially in movement XD

K_Frikker: thx ^^ While working on this picture I have worked on a few other ones too (which got finished earlier). Usually I finish one pic at a time, apart from doing line-arts in between when I feel like it :3

Hey bugsy, that's really sweet. Great work on the perspective. The only little crit I have is that maybe you can make the moon's light affect the character's face, arms and hair more.

Right now the lightsource looks really bright, as if she's being lighted by the sun. Maybe some bluish tints can help.

Anyway, sweet image nonetheless!

Wow, so this is the mega CG? Looks bloody fantastic!

I never knew you could pump out stuff like this. The time it took definetly reflects in the quality of CG- this is surely you best piece to date. The shadows and lighting, like the fire looks really effective and can totally imagine this on a book over! Ya just need to write a best seller to go with it

I_del: seems opinions on the backgroudn are very divided. Some seem to like it, while others don't. Quite confusing o_O;

Ayzie: hmm yeah I took the blue-ish tints for the nightscene into consideration for the background, but as I was trying to make the character stand out I didn't. Maybe that wasn't such a good idea after all ;_;

Bomu: Yep that's the one I finished it sooner as I thought I would (I figured I'd be lazy and keep it unchanged for a few days, lol). thx XD *starts his "Burn baby Burn, the effects of disco on our youth today" book*

Whoa just impressiv.
but I have one or two things to critic

For the background
The way that goes to the castle, have you raised it on purpose 'coz it looks like it is on the same high-level as the church tower (which is abit confusing).
The building in the left corner isnt realy atached with the ground in my opinion, maybe cast some shadows (light source the burning buildings)
to ground it better.

The dragon is awesome and the wing fx are a great Idea, but he looks like he had one or two virgins too much for lunch .
