Thank you! I didn't know about the rule of thirds, that is interesting to know. I was trying to capture a bleak feel in this, since the dragon is depressed, so that's why the colors are so dulled, though I do see your point. Part of why the shadows are less visible is because the source of light is fairly frontwards to him, thus the shadows behind and out of sight- it's also why I would be hesitant to darken the rock in front, since that would contradict lighting. Lengthening the rock in front does help though.

I find a lot of this helpful, I probably won't change this piece itself, but I'll keep it in mind for future work, thank you! I enjoy constructive criticism a lot, I don't mind a fair level of it, it gives me a lot to think about.

Yeah you definitely made it feel bleak. Nice job on the colors.

The rule of thirds is a good one that I often forget about. I'm going to try and use it more in the future.

Glad the critique was helpful! I'd definitely welcome critique on my work as well (when i post which is not nearly often enough haha).
