Description Hmm.. First time I have nothing to say.. Maybe this is the first drawing that I acually like? There's few things I'd like to fix (as always..), but I've already worked with those spots for few hours, and this is the best result so far. And I think I'm not getting them any better by continuing.

Originally I planned to draw this as an competition entry, but as always, I'm not too good with deadlines, so the entering time closed awhile ago, and I had to decide what to do with the drawing. I changed the background and those three pictures in the front of the pic and that's it. The background pretends to be a cave, though it looks like something else (like a room with curvy shapes )...

Drawing done with Intuos3 tablet and Photoshop CS2, in about .. 3 days I'd estimate, not sure 'cause I didn't count

// oh, and if you wonder why the ace of spades is with the photos it's because dragons tend to be a bit arrogant anyways (don't they? ^^ ), so maybe this little one does have a good imagination and he thinks he's better (or the most evil or wicked or something. I don't know ) than anyone else 8DDD

I love all the photos, especially the one where he's eating
I think it's kind of obvious that it's a cave, but at first I thought the back wall wasn't a wall, and that the cave went on much deeper with another dragon in the background Maybe some random rocks on the floor or a smoother transition from ground to wall would help? But I'm not sure, rock is really hard.

I like the design of the dragon and the shading (on the dragon and on the cave wall). I also like that you put enough thought into this to explain the ace of spades
Nice job!

The dragon came out nicely. I like the photos and your ace analogy. I like this so much. ^.^

Dragons' playing cards. Interesting. Wonder what suits they use.

The shadow cast by the top card really kind of looks strange. It's obviously close to the light source, but the shadow should be more fuzzy against the cave wall. It's too well-defined for how far from the surface of the wall the card is.

Thanks again! You pointed out something I didn't even realize I like to draw shadows to animals etc, meaning the actual target of the main-focus in the pic, but I often have no idea how to do backgrounds Gotta fix that some day, along with the right backfoot of the dragon, it's way too bright to be in shadows.

I'd like to think that dragons use elemental suits in their cards somehow appropriate. From the traditional playing card suits the ones with hearts and bells seem too .. soft for dragons. And the clubs, hearts, diamonds and spades are somehow boring.

Well, I just notice little details sometimes. >_> And, I was looking hard for something to constructively comment on. The rest of this really does look great.
