competition by

Medb, also spelled Medhbh whose name is said to mean 'she who intoxicates', was a legendary queen of Connaught in Ireland, of Irish mythology.

In the Irish epic tale Tain Bo Cuailnge, she led her forces against those of Ulster and fought in the battle herself with weapons, unlike the other war goddesses, who influenced its outcome by means of their magical powers.

Medb was not a historical queen but a fierce Goddess with an insatiable sexual appetite.

First of all, my critique is more from the opinion of an "Art viewer" than an "Art creator"
This is absolutely stunning from so many points of view, you blended a lot of details into a wonderful work.
I love how your background is not showing a really big space, but you knew exactly where to add objects, to make the work catch our attention, and it is the type of work that will never get boring for the eye . The fire is simply perfect, and it was really needed to make the scene even more mysterious.
I love how you turned everything into this wonderful night scene, the colors are beautiful, and those flying...dragons? are really awesome and scary! well done!
The reason why I don't give the full 5 stars for originality is because I've seen this model too many times around here and it's stuck in my head already,lol.

Anyway, Your artwork is well done and I'm so glad you got to finish it so everyone can enjoy your masterpiece!!!
