I spent a lot of time on this. It's an important piece to me. It started as a remake of the first piece I ever submitted (Jewel Dragon), but I took it a lot further. I hope it stands as a testament to my improvement, not only in the basics of pixel art but color, concept and form.

Thanks for the feedback. I was trying to make it look like the wing gets lighter in coloration (not just shade) towards the top, but it's not very apparent, especially due to the use of a pretty monochromatic palette.
I'm really impressed, especially with the depth and aesthetic consistency. The far wing appears too 'full' to me and IMO the shading only partially accounts for the difference in angle to the light VS the other wing.
