great colors and skin efects!

actually it doesn't seem to be into the sea (more like into a very clean aquarium). the body of the dragon could gradually disappear into the darkness of the water. There could be some bubbles and little fishes running their scared asses out of there anyway i loved the whole dragon design and colors +3

Jaw dropping... One great piece after another. What programs and what amount of time did this take you? Hmm? Hmm?

Big 5 on this bad boy.

oh wow... i mean OH WOW. I adore the lighting, the dynamic pose, the colouring. The dragon concept is great.... with the membranes between the spines on it's back I imagine it swimming by whipping that big tail around... Brilliant!

Wonderful lighting!

Gorgeous colors - and the refracted light on his back is an excellent touch

This is my favorite of yours! Again, great use of color, light, movement, proportion, blah, blah, blah

same with me.. you may want to consider using photoshop more often..

Actually, all of the images in here (save for the salc animation) are done in photoshop.

Must have been a real joy to make this, because it certainly is a joy to look at. Keep it up!

Great illustration! I like your use of colours and especially the light-blue light-refraction from the water on the dragon. Only one small crit... I agree with Rodski, fading the tail of the dragon will increase the feel of depth.
Good work though, I like your dragons!

I can't believe that this isn't getting higher votes than it deserves.
Although I see some minor weak points in it, the kick-ass lighting and color MORE than makes up for anything I could crit.
The effect of the light coming through to hit the skin of the dragon just grabs me by the eyes and makes me want to try that technique myself.
Splendid job on the painting. Great mood. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Very Good: I like the lighting.

im speechless! that is one great piece of work! man, i wanna learn how to paint too...good job!

This is awesome. The colors, the light, the movement. +9

what an awesome idea, krista. very very unique, i love his hands! (paws?) ((flippers?)) very interesting.

HOYL FUCKING HELL @_@
This is SO good. I wish I could give it a 10, but as 9 points is the max I can give out, then here you go, have my +9 <333333333

Nice claer work .. good light effect through water rendered on dragon skin ..
