Yeah, or even just snaking up behind the rider with a huge gaping mouth. I don't even get a predatory feel from this animal, and the rider doesn't look aware of it. Apart from the wings, the dragon is so round, almost kind of friendly looking.
Also, the rider: is he holding onto reigns or anything? If he's going fast, he should be. And he shouldn't be sitting bolt upright. Look at how jockeys sit on race horses when they're going all out. If he's riding like this, he would really be fumbling with that gun. And, if he's afraid, he should be looking over his shoulder, I think.
That said, I really like the concept and feel of the piece. The values and colors are working well. Good work!
