Desert Rider

Wow, the attention to detail is amazing. You can almost feel the texture of the desert and the rock formations in the background, and the way you put extra attention to shading and texture for the scales on the lizard is outstanding. You can even see how they shimmer in response to the lighting. Though, the nomad riding the lizard has much less detail in comparison and downplays him a little. That's just an observation, not meaning anything rude or insulting by it. This is far beyond my art capabilities, I'm sort of writing this while still awestruck. 

It's so beautiful, I'm glad you feel happy with the outcome because this is absolutely gorgeous.
