Boo! It sucks 

(sigh, all I wanted was one reply, oh well, guess I'm not that important)

I like it, mainly because dragons are awesome.

Thank you

Its Ok, but a bit much of the same color everywhere. It sort of misses an object which to focus on (the dragon blends in with the background a bit, it doesn't 'jump out') IMO

Its nice tho

I was waiting for Leeum's reply, which would probably have included many more useful observations/hints than I can give you on these things. I like it; I guess I agree with Trace too though.

I quite like it! And I like the fact that something isn't 'standing out'. That means the attention from the post isn't stolen.

I think it's really well put together.
It's lacking a nice colour contrast but it does work, the text is plain and sticks out without pulling focus too much and is well placed. To suggest an improvement, I'd say go around the dragon with the burn tool (Photoshop) to pull it out a bit and give it more depth.

Other than that, it's really nice. I especially like the background texture and the use of colour above the dragon.

Plus, Dexters post made me laugh

i am the same as seye i was waiting for liam
i like the colours the dragons wings are the things that i like but the face looks a bit wierd like sharpen has been used or noise has been added

Hurray replies 

Anyway, I used the burn tool and you can compare it with my sig.

Its the render

Do you think it looks better? I personally do, but you need to play a bit more to add depth.
It's layers on top layers. I hope you don't mind, but I had a play with it. Just literally 5 minutes work, to show what I mean by adding depth.



If you like I can tell you what I did to it.

Tough decision .  I think I like it a little better, but since you fix it up, I'll use it  .

If you like I can tell you what I did to it.

And yes I'll like to know what you did  .

Trying to remember now

Well I went round where you had use the burn tool with a little blurring with a feathered brush, then I applied the image layer (I do this for pretty much every change I make). I then added more orange and red colours via 'Image - adjustments - variations', i repeated it twice with an applied image layer in the middle until i was happy. Then adjusted the shadows and highlights under 'Image - adjustments - shadows and highlights'. After another applied image, I added a strong light source over the dragons head ('Filter - render - lighting effects') and finally after yet another applied image layer I added another light source a little more wide spread and lowered the opacity on the previous layers until i was happy.

Hope this helps Any terminology I've used that may be confusing. just ask me to explain it's just gone 1am and I'm rather tired to say the least
