Description
So I had a phone call with my bank and then I made this....
But jokes aside, it was of course inspired by the last season of Game of Thrones.
Not based on, so no spoilers to be found here, just sort of an interpretation of the whole thing in a vague way.
I worked most of the time in black & white but at the end I was plying with color toning and came up with this edit.
I... think it's better than the original but I'm still not too sure, so in the end I couldn't decide and had to post both.
Find the original one here:

As usual, an animation of my process can be found here:

Thank you so very much man!
I knew the dragon needs to be behind smoke from the start for it to look even half real. Also the blood is just red on an Overlay layer... it's maddening how much the "background" matters for that kind of thing, 99% of the time I need to think for a while even how to approach painting the blood in and then.. this lol. Same happens with custom shapes and especially brushes, breaks my brain trying to figure out how to use some of them successfully, and other times I just pick one and it looks great off the bat...
Anyway thanks for the feedback on the versions too, I also think I like this one best, there's something about the blood in this one that just looks much more appealing.

Doesn't matter how it was done as long as the result fits! 
Only when I realized what a huge pain in the ass it is to reorganize the psd with such layers I started changing my working habits lol.

Oh yep, the layers under that are locked once you do something like that... just changing the levels can screw the whole thing up
Totally agree that they aren't very safe to work with, hence my rant about it. xD

The lighting thing the realism agggghhh how can it be so perfect!!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehehe some time spent in the composition stage and... mostly tricks over that.
I planned it to be hazy knowing without the fog the dragon would look bad... and the dragon's realism is mostly because of the highlights, which mainly I just accentuated the ones in the original 3D render.
Also working in black and white helps... this color is only a series of color toning layers on top of black & white + red blood. As I said... mostly tricks. xD
Anyway, thank you!

I would love your opinion on this: which one do you like the most, this or the other version?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I liked both of them, but I think the color of this
very interesting because it gave attention to the blood, and the result is a more dramatic atmosphere
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahh so you like that better. That was the intention the whole time, to have the black and white image, and then the red blood for contrast.
Seems like this is the less popular choice so it's very interesting to hear your opinion on it. Thank you!

Amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing
I am blown away by the stock photo changes you made

Heehee thanks to you for the nice words.
It's a fair bit easier to make the changes when you work without color so I kinda cheated a bit here.

La verdad es que es difícil cuando son tan grandes, tuve suerte de encontrar el stock porque la mayoria de stocks de dragones son demasiado pequeños para esto.
Aunque pintando como tú lo haces no creo que fuera un gran problema.
