Dragon II: Return of the Dragon!

It's time for more dragon!

Made some progress today with the face:



Detail:



So today I:

- Made the fire larger and pushed it back farther so it doesn't look like it's forming at the front of his mouth, haha.
- Added some color highlights around the mouth, not sure how they look. Some critique on that would be nice.
- And I just tried to add shading overall to the lower jaw and face.

I can't believe this is all I get done in three hours >.<

  1. I think the mouth highlights look great, especially the glow coming out of that back-most gap between the teeth.

    You could probably even push them a little fruther and have some of that ethereal blue color reflecting off the back teeth. I'm not a lighting expert though, you've already got some nice high lights in the eye and the shoulder-pod-thing, so adding bright blue in the mouth might be one too many highlights for the piece. On the other hand, you could just throw in some deep blue-black or darker grey-blue (back there) to make that glow stand out more and avoid having too many highlights. Either way the transition of cool to warm in the mouth is really interesting.
