awesome image. Crits: Like Digital, lets see the dragon belch. The tree on the far left, near the top.. the flame is a little out of place. Perhaps make a copy of the tree but re-texture it with the fire. play with the size a little.. might help it "conform" (just a wild though, haven't tried it myself yet.. yet). As for render time, any time you start playing with lots of transparents / volumes .. your time goes through the roof. :(

The doctor says I have way too much blood in my caffeine system.
