A commission that took a lot of studies and thinking. >_> Forests are hard. My brain works in a way that i attempt to put every object on its own separate layer (let's not even talk about the layer groups, clipping masks and layer masks). I'm sure you can see why that mindset is incompatible with forests.

I plan to submit it to my print shop but first i'll have to test-print it and i didn't feel like going out yet because it's so cold outside.
Ha! Well good to know either way,
I feel it has that perfect balance as something to hang on a wall,
not too loud or distracting,
but still detailed and intricate at the same time,
not to mention how rich the atmosphere of the picture feels ^3^

"The rider is breakfast" - love it, had me laughing so hard! :D
The thumbnail did not do this justice, beautiful! :3

Dark scenes and thumbnails don't like each other too much. :I
Absolutely stunning work. I can't even begin to think how many hours this took you.
So the rider is breakfast, what is the horse? Brunch?

I pat myself on the shoulder for knowing the word "brunch". But yeah i don't know, maybe the horse is salad if we take the phrase "you are what you eat" literally.
This is absolutely gorgeous! I love the way colors are shining on the dragons scales, very beautiful ♥
Wow!! That opalescent sheen on the scales is perfect gosh :o
And I love the background too - so beautiful!!

This is an INCREDIBLE piece. I just can't stop looking at it, and now its my Background. I'm just in awe and shock <3 Fantastic work, thank you for sharing!
Thanks! What kind of screen resolution do you have? Someone else mentioned that they'd use this as a background if it didn't have such "odd dimensions", so i'm curious if it's really that unusable or if the guy is simply a perfectionist.
My screen is 1920 x 1080, so a higher res version would do the trick. I tend to not mind black boarders on a fitted screen X3
Everything about your work is just so polished and fun to look at. Really a visual treat. Great work on this. :)
<333 Thankyou so much for this again (this is laughingdove btw!) I absolutely adore this
Oooh i didn't know you are on here, i'll update the description. >,<
And i'm really glad you like it.

Sweet merciful bananas, this is GORGEOUS and simply stunning! I need to keep an eye on when you'll be open for commissions in the future!
Holy fuck, I said aloud.
It's gotta be one of the most impressive pieces I've ever seen on FA! The shine on the dragon makes it almost life-like. :x

THAT FOREST! I can't stop looking. Your studies paid off big time. Really really nice. :)
Can never get over just how fluid and 'silky' your brush strokes are. *-* Lovely work, again!
WOW. o..o This is absolutely beautiful, amazing work. :)
wow I love it! This is super in-depth. Also on the layers thing, I totally do that too. My day job has me working in photoshop a lot and I create backups of layers like crazy. It quickly gets out of hand haha.
this is, by far, some of the most beautiful work I have EVER seen. like seriously, WOW!!!
THIS is why you deserve all the watch's *give's bag full of watches*

Keep at it! I'd like to see what you do when you get better.
Environments are rough and you definitely have a good start for something greater later. :)
