Description Any suggestions/critiques you can make would be appreciated as I will be coming back to this picture at some point soon (to get rid of the white border, texture the rock, improve the orbs/improve shadows) but am all burnt out on it at the moment!

[UPDATE] I got rid of the border completely because it was annoying me. XD I'm using the finished version of this image as a starting point to a field guide to dragons I want to make (corny, I know, but I really want to do it!) so when I finish and post that I'll move this one to scraps. Thankyou to everyone who critiqued!

Holy buggleweasel thats awesome!

Awesome enough for me to make up a new phrase when i see it: Holy buggleweasel

I'm impressed, its pretty awesome!

My only critique is that the border doesnt seem to do the image justice, i reckon a more fancy border might add that extra "Wow" factor to your image, but not soo fancy that its distracting.

I have an idea of what i think would go well as a border...but i cant really describe it....black with grey/silver fancy lines?

I hope that helps.

Keep up the good work

Thankyou! ^_^ *steals word buggleweasel for later use*

I agree about the border; I wasn't sure what to do about it though! Changing it to black made it look like a motivational poster and most colours I used just looked blah I like the idea of a fancier border a lot. One is definitely forthcoming, along with fixing a few other things

Thanks for the critique!

Also, I completely ran out of steam on this and was too shy to update at conceptart with my tiny, mimimal additions to it, I mean, I want it to be worth their while, but I'm all ready to go on it again, so thanks!

I'll try a whole bunch of stuff to see what works! ^_^ I have it up at another forum for critiques so I'll run the new borders by there too.

I can leap out at you on msn to show you before I update it if you like
