Nice painting. You did a wonderful job with the perspective in this. You have manage to capture the air density effect quite well, by which I mean the reduced opacity of the colours as the landscape recedes. I also like the flames being blown by the dragon to the right. They are nicely textured.

I am trying to determine where the title of the piece fits in here. Where is the warning beacon in the image? Is it the flames on the towers?

The only issue I have with this piece is that the peril being faced is suggestive but we can't really relate to it. I think this is because there is no-one in the image that is visibly "suffering" under this apparent attack. The only thing we see are dragons and a structure that could be abandoned. In other words, the 'humanity' is implied, but not present.

That was an awesome comment. Thanks for that. And yes the flames on the towers are beacons. And thanks for the tip. I knew I should have put some people in it...oh well

You're welcome. :) No worries. This was just my initial impression. I suppose in a way the implied "humanity" works to the its advantage. We don't need to see the people to understand that there is peril since the beacons also imply that.
