Contrassttt! The darker tones should be darker.
And I am finally seeing that you were the one worth eating.

You must remember there is a pallette change, and that the right areas still aren't painted with the darker colors used by helm. It's in progress, but if it's not what I just pointed, explain yourelf.

Toned down claws, fixed wings (his right wing is in the works) and generally just painted more areas...



EDIT: If it's not much trouble, I would like some advice regarding the muscles of the legs, and if they need any change.

I love the details you added a couple posts ago to the mouth. I like that your shadows and midtoens are more distinct in these latest edits. The one thing that was bugging me at first was how flat it seemed.

Should look great when you finish

Maybe the dragon should have teeth showing on the side of his mouth. I don't like the brightest green you've got, it needs to be
brighter than the yellow.
Modern artists are told that they must create something totally original-or risk being called "derivative".They've been indoctrinated with the concept that bad=good.The effect is always the same: Meaningless primitivism

I agree. That color (looks more like a teal then a green to me) doesn't work well the way your trying to use it as lighter than the yellow.

And to top it off, it wasn't a very good color to start off with.

I liked the highlights. Gave it a nice, slimy feeling. The neck... fleshy part looks a little odd, the lighting mostly [seems to be lightsource-independent]. Looking quite nice so far.

I too enjoyed the hilights. It's just that they were wierdly colored. I mean, a blue hilight on a yellow claw? It's not even the fact that it's blue, it's more so the fact that it's darker than what it's supposed to be hilighting.

Oh, and something that bothered me from the start was the extremely saturated yellow you're using for the claws and horns and teeth. Don't you think something more...bone colored would be better? Like, maybe ivory or something? I mean, it looks like someone urinated on those parts.

This is coming along very nicely, though.

I personally thought the yellow on the claws made him look more magical, but seems like not  :sry: . I will try to add the highlights again, and fix his neck. It's almost finished I guess...

Progress:



EDIT> the eye still has light blue and yellow, should I change it?
