not much to say about this one... it was an atempt in to painting a different kaind of enviroment then my usual forests and grasslands... So I whent for an arrid landscape... inspired from a painting from a dinosaur encyclopedia...

As for the story... just the main characters of my story engaging in a little race across the arrid fields of the Burning Wastes ( an island that long ago was part of the main continent and home to a large elven temple complex... that was of course at the time of the High Elves... but over thousands of years the chunk of land broke off from the mainland and drifted towards the Southwest... the change in climate destroyed the lush vegetation present on this land... on the mainland the area wher this land once stood is now knon as the Shellian cove ).

Jon and his dragon Draghi are currently in the lead... and have been so from the beginning of the race... and yet in the end they will loose on the final hundread meters to their competitores... Amelya Pinefrost and her dragoness mount.

I love all the scenery here and action! It's a really great piece!

To make it even better, I suggest adding atmosphere. Imagine if there is sand int he wasteland they're running through, which makes that which is farther away appear to fade into the color of the background (like, the plateaus that are near the back would be fading into blue.) Additionally, you could sharpen the nearest dragon and rider a little, and it would make them feel even more in the foreground, adding to the feel of action.

This is really great, though. Love all the details.

Actually, every time I give a critique, I never expect the person to jump in and fix THAT piece. I like them to take the critique and think how to push it into future artworks, as eventually, you'll have something similar :)!

... mostly because I do that, too! If I took the time to re-do everything of mine that could use it, I'd never finish anything new!!

I'm very happy you understand. Belive me I'm tempted to go in and fix them... but to be honest I usually spend so long on these paintings that by the time i consider them finished I am utherly sick of them and just opening them again in photoshop causes a minore migrene... I couldn't really bear to open it again and do anything on it.
