Guard of the Burning Coast

I'm iffy about this picture. The composition is lousy, the dragon is unoriginal, and the anatomy has gone all to hell, but on the other hand, I'm please with some of the textural effects I achieved. Good old brush options in Photoshop can make some pretty good scaley skin. Unfortunately, when I converted it to a JPEG, the highlights got messed up a bit. Anyway, hope you guys enjoy.
