Not really much to say here
Made in Zbrush
Posed in Maya
Rendered in C4D
Composed in PS
Not final but close enough
Bring on the C&C
Theres a lot of work in there, i love the flames. As far as i can tell you could improve the likeness with some more retouching of the flames lightning impact.
Also some of the outlines of the dragon are too smooth to my eyes, maybe a bit more displacement? Left wing especially. But its mainly the lightning which is off a bit, i cant see where the light comes from that shines the dragon, whereas the effect of the obvious light sources in the pic are not very well incorporated.
Anyway nice scene with a lot of potential.
Cheers

To add to what Erk said, looks like you blurred some of the parts maybe to achieve a DOF effect but im not sure it works. What is he standing on? Its hard to see any ground below him, also because of lighting maybe? The flame should light him up so that he casts shadows around and behind him. That would look dramatic. I kinda like the anatomy very much!
I’m about to make a dragon and its very interesting for me to see what others do… 
Yes thanks guys …i had the same thoughts and have been playing around with a lot of different seetings and am still quite far from getting the final image completed (still trying ddiff poses and lighting ect)
I will definatly keep you all updated as things progress.
I will admit that i just got tired of it today and had to get it out there
Expect a LOT more to come
Thanks for the coments
That’s a lot of applications and one very hot curry.
Fire is good.
Heres an update for you
Please keep in mind that the mesh is only about 44000 polys
Its got a normal map generated in zbrush and the texture was done in zbrush as well.
The normal map allows for exreemly fast renders and this guy wwould be a treat to animate.
Anyway
Heres the small changes to lighting ect… would like to do some smoke out of the nose and some treasure hes guarding possibly

a raw unlight version that seems to show a bit more detail
Far from perfect i know :o 
i think that this amount of fire, would light up the whole cave 
Being a large fan of dragon’s in all shapes and sizes, I think this is coming along rather well. Keep going. 
Ok

I think thats about as far as ill go with this image
time for a new model
Thanks for taking the time to make your comments
