sort of practicing washes and lighting and stuff, for the most part i like how it came out, but every time i try to paint shadows the Grey lifts the colors underneath it, so i'm far from happy with the way they turned out.
critiques are good, trying to learn how to paint lighting that doesn't suck
couldn't get the flowers bright enough, kinda pissed about that, probably should have just left them white with little spots or something, as much as i love purple.

I think you're being too hard on yourself. This isn't washed out at all, the colors are vibrant without being over powering, and the lighting has a nice, soft glow to it.
I actually prefer the flowers purple (and I despise that color). The reason why is because they provide great contrast to the yellow cast to the piece, without detracting from the light tones that bring out the dragon from the background. So... basically what I'm saying is 'good job'. It's really a lovely piece.
