| MM, I was wondering why we have judges if you're just going to let everyone vote on them?

We normally WOULDN'T, but since the judges aren't very active we have to.
And hey, you do get better feedback this way.

| So far we haven't had much feedback at all, no one seems to want to elaborate on their choice.

Well what do you want me to do, Deshar?
I can't force the judges to come back.
And I can't force people to write a paragraph about your sprite.

Yellow-Area where shading conflicts with light source
Purple-Needs to be detailed, add muscles, or joints in these places.
Blue- Shading contradicts the structure. This is only in the tail, since it is going under his body it doesn't make sense for it to brighter here.
Red-Did you forget to do anything to his chest? There's no shading it's just one color lol

| Yellow-The light source is coming from the top corner, I'm all that confident in the shading but I personally think those areas are ok.
Purple-Correct, I didn't have time to add details since I started working on it late and I'm not too skilled at spriting, the arms themselves were rushed.
Blue-You got me there, I wasn't too sure about that part with regards to the light source. I assumed it would be the light that got through the gap between its legs, guess not. ^.^
Red-There's a small amount of shading, again it was an issue with lightsource and me not being too good at shading angles.
You may also notice that theres no reflected light, another thing I didn't have time to do. I would have liked to put some lighter colour patches to show where the light was striking most.
Also, the wings (along with everything else) on the statue in my room were far more detailed, again my dumbing down was due to time issues and lack of spriting ability.

| If the lighting is coming from the top right then your wings are the things that should be covered in yellow.....Which is my bad sorry DX
How to fix the red, the head will give the chest some shadow so you can shade a little of the top, the muscles of the dragon should create light shadows to show were the pectorals end and begin ( like a border ) So it's equivalent be a purple but I wasn't sure why it there was sooo much light green there. It made me think that the light source was shining brightest there and the wings actually reinforced that theory.
Long story short just make a normal peck right there add some of the medium tone to the left and it'd been fine

| Top-left.
I did add a shadow from the head on the chest, guess I didn't make the shadow big enough to be seen. Again with the muscle detail and muscle shadow, I didn't have time to do them.
I actually used the light in my room for the idea of a light source, so it's not just at the top-left but slightly outset from the background.
Also I never said top-right, I said top corner, of which there is two (Left and right). Top-left meaning the corner closest to the nostrils. ((Basically I'm not sure if we understand each other so I'm trying to figure out if we're thinking along the same lines or not.))
