YAY! Finally it's done! At long last, A Fine Catch is complete. o3o

I am kinda proud of this. ^^ Mike's position and angle+light direction gave me a small challenge when making the lightning/shading but I did it! I am also glad that i could make the light effects and colors on the background look more natural than usually I do.

The blood was fun to do and YES! Mike IS big. Considering a human is usually a bit smaller than an adult deer (which is the case there) you can imagine how big Mike is. FEAR HIM!! MUWAHAHA!!!

The Golden Tower at the background wasn't planed on the beginning and was added near the end, just to see how it would look like To save time I just copied and pasted the tower from Delphinean Lands and added extra effects after my pals on Livestream said I should use the tower here. :3 Thanks guy!

I've done blood twice before but on pixel only, so i can say this is the very first time I draw blood. On Photoshop, at least. Also, this is the very first time I draw pawprints and well... they didn't came out too bad at all.

I am happy with the job I've done on Mike's anatomy as well. It is still far from the perfection I want to achieve, but bit by bit I'll get there, and considering all the "Mikes" I've drew before, I am getting much better at every new dragon I draw. o3o
