The Twin Fires: Chapter 9Dragonhunters

The dry hot summer sun was casting it's last rays over the French port city of Marseille. Not that it did anything to lessen the hustle and bustle that was going on in the harbor. Commercial ships bearing cargo from all across the world arrived and left the docks at a feverish rate. Most of Frances' imports flowed through this city but today a special ship was awaiting it's rather special crew for an equally special undertaking. A dented and rusted brown Peugeot made it's way to the docks in one of the old quarters of the harbor. With screeching tires and a cloud of black smoke from it's exhaust, the Peugeot came to a sudden s

Blue Domainby ~Netarliargus

Blue dragons are the second most powerful of the classic chromatic dragons. They are physically distinguished by the single large horns protruding from their heads and also by their ears, which are rather large and frilled. The tail is thick and bumpy, like that of a caterpillar. The wings are more pronounced than most other species'. They smell like ozone or sand.

They are more likely to be mocking and manipulative than outrightly cruel or murderous to 'lesser' creatures, aided greatly by their natural talents for hallucination. They are infamous for tricking desert travelers into drinking sand or going miles out of their way to avoid nonexistent dust basins.

Blue dragons tend to be carnivorous though they will eat plants on occasion. While almost anything is potential food, a blue dragon prefers camels above all else. They are enemies of brass dragons.

Blue dragons are orderly creatures, and are unusual for chromatics in that they keep fairly well-ordered, hierarchical societies. ~Excerpt from the Draconomicon

It seems I am going through the whole color spectrum, I kinda like how the blue contrasts with his rocky surroundings. Done in CS3 in about twelve hours

Not bad, not bad at all, but some areas do stick out as odd, such as the highlights and edges on the dragon looks very unnatural (and kind of ruins the picture considering the overall quality of everything else) and the gleam in it's eye just looks, well, bad. (Sorry, there's no other word for it.) There's a few other areas where you painted over the edges of things that just needs to have the opacity lowered a bit since they're to solid right now. (The choice of color is perfect but you need to lower the opacity and/or fill to get some of the natural color and texture variations to show through to make it look natural) But overall it's not bad, I really like the composition and depth you have in this.

PS: Listing sources would be nice (and sticking it under photomanipulations.. I'm fairly sure this belongs in that category.)
