Yeah for you

I think you solved task pretty well.
IMO it's not easy to visualize a human-dragon transformation (even if you are a morphing program), because both species look very different.
a human-wolf transformation might be a lot easier. So I was curious how you would solve this. I am very happy with the result. The swirling mist that appears during the transformation adds a lot of magic to this scene.
I have no idea what layering is, but if you need some more trainining with it

...
One can easily see that every drawing of yours is a labour of love.

From scratch

ok
i'm attempting a pic from scratch...in photoshop...
so it's going to be labour intensive...more so cause i'm using a mouse...
this will be a good skill prac for me & if any one has suggestions that will help my process, it'd be appreciated.
all i know at the moment is the character is female...what class she will be shall evolve as the pic does..

this is a section of what i have so far

Great Start Babett. The key with light is to make it subtle.. are you using PSP or Photoshop?

One suggestion I have is to use layers to integrate the image and lighting effects.. the spot is too obvious

and you could really punch up your drama levels by using the spot only on the background and then applying the light to the Gem on a seperate layer.

Masking is something that takes a little time but once you get the hang of photomanipulation for digital ink and paint you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish.

Thankyou

i've only rediscovered the layering technique(boyo the benefit from that-makes things a lot more easier so to speak)...as for masking- have not attemtted that yet...baby baby steps for me i'm afraid...your advice was great...cheers...using photoshop.
