w.i.p dragon and warrior scene - Update 23rd march

[Dusty]

I liked the first stance of the dragon before the edit, personally. I think it had a more stalking, closing-in sort of look that really portrayed the fear a dragon can give.
I also really love the sky/clouds. Ace stuff there.

A bit more like this?



Bit more done, tweaked the palette too and changed some places.

brillant, love the sky and detailed background yu did so far, and the fire
 only thing i could think of so far is:
-that a part of the wing looks a bit to triangular in comperison with the rest of the wing,
-the neck of the dragon looked better befor your last edit in my opinion
now it doesn't seems as strong and seems to have a strange connection to the body, something seems a bit off , almost like the chest of the dragon ends in the middle of the neck.
- and the cloak of the character seems to be in a way that he couldn't see it almost looks like he's looking inside the hood, could be because he just strated to turn.

The eye of the dragon looks cartoony, compared to quite a realistic scene. 

Also the pose of the warrior does not look like he's about to face a fiery dragon, perhaps try something away from the generic hero pose you have going on.

sky is beautiful, and that is perhaps the best pixel-fire i've ever seen.

The volcano should have smoke and flying debris too.

The sword, being metal, would probably be the color of the flames.

you could use a little less colors
check the shadows from the fire
maybe u could check some magical swords on google

anyways its a GREAT pixel art

Thanks for the comments guys really aprechiate your perspectives on this.

This is actually really playing with my head to be honest, Im going against what I would usually do. Mostly because its a request I don't have much room for change, I have to now make the dragon black. And the cape red with gold trimmings, which in my opinion will make the character a bit too samely considering he's going to be red, red and pink skin. It'll be a challenge in itself making the black of the dragon fade into the fire. Oh the stoney floor was supposed to be greyish.

I'll come back with a totally new palette, I may need help with this 

(Prepares for a disaster  )
