This is what i tried to do Flames coming towards the knight with mist and fog lingering around.. also please note the way the knight is holding himself, i tried to make it as if hes saying "im toast" My goal is to make this into a poster! Ignore the text cause that will all change... Crit only the picture!!!!!!!! I need your support aswell because alot of people are putting me down and saying that i shouldnt even try! Next year im going to a art school for animation in game development. Anyway i'll stop blabbing

thanks.

Hey there, don�t listen to the people who is saying that you shouldn�t try. By making improvement and always keep trying you will get better. I think this piece is pretty cool, especially the dragons head.
I don�t like this Critique thing, instead I would call it giving a tip to someone.
Here�s some tip if you want them and remember I�m not a pro and I also have trouble with painting fire and stuff:
You could try to smudge the fire so it looks like there is some more movement in the fire and then also add more red and yellow to the fire.
Maybe there is too much contrast in the picture.
The Knight is really cool.....hmmm...dunno if the tips helps??..hehe

take it easy

The concept is promising (the lighting you already set up looks good), but it lacks of detail.

looks like you used too much special effects or layers

Try to paint the fire more dynamic, take a reference

666[flat] is right. It's a good start (nice lighting), but it needs some areas of crisp detail. It's nice to have areas in a piece that are out of focus (soft and blurred) but you need areas where the form is well defined. Otherwise the viewer doesn't know what's important to look at.
