Homecoming

Description

Into the fire our fellows fly

Scales brimming with might

Cold they return, weak and injured

Having barely conquered the night

 

I send my love with his grimaced maw

So he may rend tooth and bone

Of man and beast that threaten the lives

Of his children, and his home

 

Come back to me, set us free

And make those men pay the price

If you perish in the fire, my love

we’ll meet you in paradise.

This piece was so compelling when it popped up in my feed! I was floored by the detail in the eyes and in the texture of the skin.
You really nailed the reflections in the eye. The dragons are distorted in a way that really contours with the eye itself which was a nice touch! You didn't make it an exact silhouette which was a good trick!
The highlights on the individual scales are very well done. You executed the idea perfectly because of the values. I would love to know how long this took you.

The only thing I suggest is to maybe define the pupil in the eye a bit more. It was a little hard to see it at first. I thought it was a flame that the creature was seeing or something.
Also I agree with the critique prior to my own: highlight the tears. I didn't see it at first and that seems to be a key factor in getting your idea across.
Overall, GREAT WORK <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/> You really have a talent and I hope you never quit!
