Oh god, how did I miss this?

Exellent work!

Agreeing with the contrast and dimension issues, but its still a great peice!

Looks nice.

Damn, thats some great pixeling.

the preview looks nicer than the image itself, i find the preview looks like some tribal alien monkey thing, the true image is nice, i just dont like the angles of everything, not enough dimension to it

lovely style. Great work.

Very cool dragon.

Excellent piece!  Update the preview though ... it's terrible and doesn't lend itself to clicking!  The piece if FAR better than the preview suggests!

I really like this. The octopus is pretty easy to read despite being fairly similar to the color of the sky. I prefer not to use colors that are that close together, but I'm not sure which other colors could work better. I also think I'd brighten the highlight and get rid of the dithering to make it look shinier. Maybe consistent use of AA would work better, although I suppose it's one way of separating them from the background. There's one thing you can do easily, and that's darkening and lowering the saturation of the red ramp to bring out the details on the dragon a bit better.

got my vote :D ...

truly awesome... but I've already seen that dragon elsewhere, maybe a de-ja-vu

Very good color choices on the dragon's head. Execution in the whole piece is very good, nice job!

AWESOME AS FUK. Definitely get my vote

My favorite so far! You got one of my votes.

Great job with this, I really like the octopus!

awesome entry!      

Wow  nice nice but is that water or mountains? (octopus = water, dragon = mountains)
