I SEE A CUH-LOO-US SNOOT!!! O3OAnd feathers of fire and such ;w;Okay, art mode activated. The contrast in colors from the background to the characters is damn impressive. The background dragon is constructed and colored in a manner that doesn't detract from the focal point (The gryphon-ride), but aids in the overall chaos of the scene. Blurring in the foreground is present, but not obnoxiously so and it is tastefully done. The only thing I was thinking is that the feathers probably shouldn't be there though if the gryphon is in the middle of a whingbeat. The wings would be angled downwards without those feathers sticking up. But it's very minor and doesn't do anything to detract from the painting, at all. In the end, great job
