Final version of dragonsfriend90´s prize on DA

He asked me to draw his OCs turning into their dragon form by a magical statue that they found in the forest.

I hope that you all enjoy it, I tried to do something different with this one, following an advice I tried to do first the shading of all the picture and then add the base colors using the blending mode in the layers, at the end I really like the results, but Can any of you tell the difference? It is better this way?
