This is a drawing I recently finished for use as an auction header [it'll have to go through a bit more editing for that, though]. It's the first thing I've completed with my new computer and my new Photoshop CS4, and I really like how it's come out, so far. I'd like to be able to use it in my portfolio check later this year, but I think it needs reworking in some things, especially the shading. What changes do you think would make this a stronger image?

Perhaps turning the blue(purleish) splots into a color that will pop the dragon out(it was a bit hard to see on my moniter).

What kind of colour do you think would help it? I originally tried red thinking the opposite of green would be good, but it just looked like blood splatter rather than the "tone and graffiti" look I wanted [like the Trashco font].

yellow or orange maybe a brighter color to help pop out that dark green
