Great paintover, thanks!
To be honest, deep down I knew that I wasn't happy with the storytelling. I couldn't decide what their reaction to the dragon was, so I didn't commit to a particular mood or narrative. I was going to change the guy's pose, but I'm terrible at action poses. So bad.
But I really love your suggestions - I love the more dynamic poses and the way that they contribute to the storytelling. I'll try some stuff out - do some studies, maybe take some ref photos of myself, and see if I can improve the posing.
And for the stiff/fake-looking dragon, I agree - I'm not really a dragon expert. I went to DragonCon earlier this month and I met Todd Lockwood and Lucas Graciano and now suddenly there's dragons all over my WIPS! But I'm still figuring out how to draw them (anatomy, how they move, rendering).
I'm going to regroup and definitely see how well I can implement some of those improvements. Top class paintover. Cheers!
