Description
here's the finished version. i decided to experiment some with effects, with color, and other aspects. my favorite aspect of the skin in the original was her neck and collarbone, but i deliberately sacrificed it and the skin tone to try for a sort of fiery effect. i definitely wasn't going for realism.
thanks to all of you for your support, views, comments and inspiring artwork!

Great image and effects!!!!!!!!!!!
Very dramatic! The fire and shadow bring it to life! DO keep up the good work. DPH
Great work. Very good light and postwork. 5+
Wonderful work!!
great scene with excellent expression and postwork
Awesome!!! Love your flame effect brings it to like.
You did really good job on postworking :) Highlights and shadows in this pic could be tricky because of flames, but you did well. I thought extreme expression are impossible to achieve with V4 (without her face distorting in horrid way) but this one looks good. Especially her forehead-brows-nose bridge area. If I nitpick I'd suggest making her teeth 'shorter'(?) and add thin highlight on her jawline (there's light source under it).
In the raw version her skin looks really good. Here that is not visible, which is a pity, but it had to be sacrificed for the image to work. And it does work. Very good image, full of power, with the light playing a very important role. The left side in darkness works very well to further enhance the brigthness of the right side. Very interesting that, the iluminated space has a smaller screen area than the dark space, it works very well. Good title too.
Es una poderosa composición, los efectos y los colores crean una atmósfera de confinamiento y fuerza.. es sin duda una imágen de mucha dedicación y talento, bien hecho!
Looks good... Dragon? Because she's lazy? Because her breath? I bet it's because of her breath - lol
nice execution on the post. I'm getting a bit of a misread since her gaze is much higher than the direction of the fiery breath... but really cool nonethless.
Wow! This is marvelous. Superb render, lighting, colors, details and concept. Excellent FX.
superb
Great job here. I particularly appreciate the sense of movement, of dynamics you´ve achieved here; depth of field and lighting are among the things I like the most of it.
outstanding expression!!!!!!!!!
