Description

Naga is a term for serpentine dragons which comes from the Sanskrit and stands for Cobra.

(Thank you all for your many title suggestions, but in the end none of them convinced me. :P I know it's difficult to come up with something if you haven't seen the picture)

This one was created for a huge typography collaboration I did with the guys from SlashTHREE. 19 people came together for this collaboration to create letters in their own personal style. My letter is the L in "Couleurs".
The complete sentence is "Le grand cirque des couleurs" which means in English Big/Great circus of colours.
You can find all letters here: [link]

Critiquing your work is like an impossible task, mostly because you know your way with Photoshop and it's safe to say you're a pro at it.
I couldn't help myself to checking your sources for better comparison and I was very surprised (in a good way) to find that your dragons "came to life" in this piece from crocodiles! I strongly advise anyone reading this critique to go check it out because what you've accomplished in the end is tremendous!
The only thing that gets a - for me is the tree foliage and the bottom. Can't really tell why, but it feels a bit off. Might be the color, it stands out from the overall blue hues.
