CommentsThank you very much for the critique! Thanks for the anatomy tips. Those will definitely come in handy. Now that I look at it, the glow on the eyes are a bit harsh, I would change it but that would require me to upload a new deviation since the new submit page won't let me replace the file, which really sucks. I'm really glad that you like the glow, pose, movement, fire, and the hair.

Now on to some things that could be improved.
There isn't that much as far as I can tell, but one thing that jumped out at me is simply that the glow coming off the eyes could be softened a bit more. Right now it seems a bit harsh. And just paying attention to basic anatomy rules (which you already are quite good at) as in thicker belly area because of the ribcage and strong wing shoulder muscles where the wing joins the rest of the body.
Other than those few things, this is an awesome work of art. It's a excellent example of movement in composition as well as shading technique. Very nice vision that was executed properly, and I've not seen something like this on dA before, so originality gets high points. As for impact, choosing to depict the moment before a collision of two characters is a great way to grab someones attention, so high points there as well.
SO to prevent this critique from dragging on forever, GREAT WORK DANCING DRAGONESS! hope that this critique proves helpful :3
