How they came

So 135 hours later and i get this image. Im pushing myself to figure out realism effect as much as possible! And im starting to think im understanding on how to get the effect i want..i just need practice!

Im looking for anyone who can give me some advice on what to add, what to change and coloration effects i want to get this image even farther!

All brushes and textures used were made by me. I have some of them released on my photos account :devred-wolf-inc:

On a warm day in the northren UK, A little dragon flew into ahouse from the window...The old woman inside startled but fascinated by the little thing appearing. She only read stories but never has seen a real dragon before. It looked around and landed on the table messing up the handkerchief that she was making. Then it trying to climb her crystal ball, as dragon was getting to the top of it, it began to glow the image of the mother dragon appears inside.

A living spirit, homeless in-till she finds a place to give birth to her unborn child. Long soft scales and long wing span she glide through the galaxy as a gypsy. From time to time, when the children look up in the sky, you can see the mother of all our dragons crossing the sky.

"So that how you got here!"  The old woman said.

She put down her drag and put her hands near the little creature, it hissed but did not feel threaten.
