Wow! I had no idea you could draw dragons! Thats insane! I know from personal experience just how hard they are to do and you did this flawlessly! I really love the subtle dappled lighting on his face and the woman's arm, That must have been hard and it makes for a great focal point. That soft light of the top branch, MAN that is so cool! :D  You really captured some nice skin tones on her arm especially the deltoid and hand impress me most and I'm very pleased to see you took your time getting the fingers just right. I can see your brushmanship has been drastically improving, I saw a huge improvement from your orc piece and your skills are just continuing to grow. I'm really impressed with your edges and color sense. The composition is absolutely beautiful and I like how you framed the characters. Everything in the image flows right to the center of interest from the berries in the foreground, to the leaves and branches. Fundamentally I see this as a flawless image! 

Design wise, I love the shapes of the dragons face. I'm a sucker for them but this guys character is great. The scales are so well done and I love that its not a cookie cutter scale design, each one is unique and it really adds to this friendly character. And how shape wise its a very round and boxy making him look more tame and friendly.  I love the eye brow scales and how they look worn and show his age, adding a bit of story telling into this as well. This honestly looks like its a cover of a book, or a book illustration. I could go on about every little detail because every one is so well made and thought out with skill and appeal. This in my humble opinion deserves a Daily deviation. Well done Jon! Keep up the great work!
