Ok, so I did a low resolution drawing when I was in high school:



And now that I'm a little better, I decided it was a good idea for a poster. The idea is cliche, which is perfect for a poster. So, here is what I have so far (size: 4000x2453 at 200ppi):




Here is the background alone:



Here is the head and the tail of the blue dragon (this is sort of the detail level that the whole painting will be at when finished):







Ok so I have a few questions. First, is there anything blatant that you think needs to be changed? I don't mean contrast or anything I can fix later on the final one... but like, certain colors or layouts.

I'd also like some advice on the background... It is not really finished, like the clouds are just rough sketches... but i feel like it is lacking something. SHould I draw real stars or just leave them as dots?

Also, the black lines are just guides from the original.

I am looking at the anatomy from the original, and I don't like it, so thats something I have to work out.

One last thing, that is more of an inquiry rather than something I can fix... I tried to make it a decent size that my comp can handle with me still being able to draw effectively... 4000x2453 at 200ppi . This comes out to about 20'x12'. Do you experienced poster printers think that that will be decent enough for a regular sized poster?

Any other C&C are appreciated. Thanks!

First, the tail feather for the blue dragon is fantastic.

Second (I don't know if you're already planning this)...but the redness of the dragon in the first one (the one you did in high school) kept me from seeing the light/dark yin yang contrast in the first picture; I don't know if there's any way to remedy that in the second one, but I'd say the more you can bring the red dragon into the black swirl of the yin yang the better.

Thanks... I might try fiddling with different color contrasts.... I'll post some of them once I get to my computer. I understand what you're talking about.
