Whoa... Very nice. Awesome shading and perspective... I suppose you'd rather be seeing a dragon fly away than towards you... but that's just me. ^__^ Anyways, damn spiffy piccy.
Even if it is a copy, it is drawn extremely well... Photorealistic portraits could be easily called copies of photos or people. Not mentioning that you used a reference or how many elements from a reference picture constitute a "copy" and all those "art ethics" related things are a subject that is too confusing for me to solve, I will let Marcello, since he is very smart do the thinking for me. <:)

supremely good job.
Anyway, this is excellent. The texture on the wings is fantastic, and the lighting is absolutely stunning. His teeth look nice too.
