Really awesome artwork, I totally love all the effects you added here - for instance the glowing sword.. Glowing swords are always so cool Also the colors really look beautiful with the rather blackish head of the dragon, mixed with white horns and an otherwise whitish coloration -fantastic!
Only think which looks a bit off in my opinion is the neck of the dragon, I feel like the angle of his top scales contradicts the movement of the neck, creating a perspective issue... But it doesn't impact the overall image that much. ... oh, and I really love all the details you added for the warriors armor

Thank you. I didn't render out the scales on the top of the neck much at all, you're right they could be more foreshortened to make the neck rounder.

This is an intense scene and a really great illustration. I sure hope Steve the Unburnt won't have to change his name as a result of this fight!

Thanks! If anything, hopefully he just has to change it to Steve the Slightly Burnt.

Great image. Like the dragon's appearance, especially the stag-like horns and white eyes. Background is nice and clear, no washed-out shapes.

Really perfect title for this awesome piece.
I love how seemless yet perfect the background looks and the dragons design. The snow looks great and perfectly balanced against the rocks, and the fire effects look stunning.
I will say that the dragons anatomy seems odd especially around the arms, as well as the warrior. His arms look very thin compared to his body, maybe it's just the obscuring fur pelt though. Another thing is that I think his legs are way too deep into the snow.

Other than that, the piece is amazing.

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah the warrior's meant to be pretty thin under his pelts but I agree it looks weird. His feet are pretty deep in that snow lol. Probably because I don't like drawing feet haha

Can't blame that. Boots can be difficult.

It looks great regardless.
