Thanks for the crits!
Yeah the jaw does look screwy now that you mention it.

Wow that's great! Did you post an earlier version a looong time ago? I think I remember a similar image ...
The texture on the tail is great! And the wings ... !!!
Is it done the same way as the tentacles in your tile game picture? Can you write a tutorial please 
[edit]Oh I just saw the medusa steps ... still not sure how you achieve that effect[/edit]

Thanks AndyT.
I posted this in wip awhile back but I almost scrapped this pic to work on other things. I really stink at writing tuts but I have some saved steps that I will be posting to my site.

Cant see anything wrong with the beek, but im a noob!
Great picture, you got skills, I only think it has to much "focus" in it...Dont know if that is clear, bad english you know! |

Never ever even think about scrapping anything again...if this was just a result of boredom, I tremble to think what would happen if you ever got really inspired!
Anyway, really good job on the pic...I like the yellowish color of the whole thing. For some reason it reminded me of the illustrations from the book Dinotopia (except, of course, this is obviously not a dinosaur). It has lots of expression, I like that. I also agree with the others before that the jaw is just a bit off, but I did not actually notice until it was pointed out.
How do you get those textures??
Keep it up!

sleepwalker: Thanks!
Merystic: Thanks! The textures are done numerous ways with brushes.
I set the brush spacing high for the dragons skin and I like to make custom brushes for all the other textures.

The only thing I would crit is your judgement in thinking of scrapping this.
Nice one! |

It's really really nice but it would have been even sw33t4r if that guy had been acting directly with that dragon thing or wutever you weird role playing nerds tend ta call these, no offense intended, instead of looking into teh cam you know. I can imagine him trying to tame that beast, pulling those chains as hard as possible because he's barely able to bring that beast under control, you know.

Thanks Flat! Actually I never played an rpg in my life but I did play a few crpg's before. I agree some more action would have been better.

I don't agree. That way it doesn't seem as if he has just gotten the dragon. It seems as if he is used to keeping it under control like that all the time.
I think lesser effort all the time is more intense than more effort just for a while.
But then again ... he's a tamer ... hehe
