This is spectacular! I'd be very interested in hearing how you achieved this (i.e. programs used, was everything painted from scratch?).

Thanks everyone.. i was on the verge of binning this... i don't really like it for some reason..
@ Homephotoshoppingnetwork. everything done in Photoshop... just manipulated images.. from here.
Dragon...http://browse.deviantart.com/art/Awesome-FREE-Dragon-Stock-png-258560808
Knight..http://browse.deviantart.com/art/black-knight-244040768
Back ground and fore ground as well as the cup images from http://www.morguefile.com/.
I did put an texture over the dragon as i thought it look a bit plain.. used a displacement map that didn't realy work well so used the warp tool over the dragon then masked out certain areas.
The only thing i did myself was the coloring and lighting. used brushes and masking. making full color layers on overlay and soft light settings on blending and again masking. last but not least a layer of 50% gray fill set to overlay then used the dodge and burn tool.
I still have get to the issue with that shading under the dragons arm.. i think its this that's putting me off it.. it might also be that the bg is to blurry.. and i need some thing between the foreground and back ground top give some more depth.
Thanks all.

Yup.... it's LiZad's uncle alright. That dragon's a favorite 3dmodel I often use.
Have to add.... If you look at the image on your monitor in a darkened room, the lighting and colors really jump out and heightens the 3d illusion in the image.
