A Good Knight's Rest by Hiram

Mike in Traveler's Gothic Armor DAZ Wedge Hair Adult Hatchling Dragon Questor's Norman Sword Postwork in Photoshop6 The reflection map on the armor is actually the woods in front of the scene you see. That is, after I took this background photo, I went to the tree, turned around and took another one for the reflection. This is the second version of this image, after re-working the dragon a bit. After several months I decided the dragon had to go. It really wasn't he image I set out to make and the Dragon was an afterthought. You can see the later image elsewhere in my gallery. Thanks for the suggestions and kind comments!

Terrific pic. Your lighting on the dragon needs to correspond to the scene lighting, the wings are alive(well they used to be)so there should be subtle shading and veining on them with an increase of texture, it's a bit 2D at the moment, just a thought
LOL! I haven't seen a cute pic like this in awhile :)
Excellent
I love how you got the knight to blend with the dropped in forest--and of course that dragon pose is a hoot! Maybe just darkening the drop shadow on the dragon would blend it fine with the rest.
beautifully put together, i just love it
not perfect but still VERY GOOD, especially the knight and the helet
The forest reflection in the armor was an excellent touch.
Superb image! But shouldn't he be a little scorched or banged up?
The dragon's great! Just airbrush in a little shadow and it'll be more awesome than it already is! What a gorgeous woodland shot!
Hiram, this is great, I like it! After holding my hand over the dragon I think I like how it looks without the dragon a little better, it changes the whole mood of the image. Still, it's a super image with or without the dragon.
