While I like this idea very much I think your photo could be imporved. The center seems to be blown out from the flash and none of it is very sharp.

contrast is a bit high - its a little hard on the eyes. Nice color on black, and focus is good. 6

The green comes over with a real mint feel to it. The figure is very prominent standing out against the black background. The bottom part is taking some qualtiy away from the image with the grainy green shadow showing out on the black. If this had been pure black the whole way round it would have been awesome, but I know how difficult that is setting up the lighting to do that. It is possible though.

Update: I commented on this on my laptop at home. Looking at the image again on my computer at work, the grainy green at the bottom isn't so obvious. Just goes to show you how different photos look on different monitors.

Did your lighting add anything to this dragon? Harder side light would have shown the scales and charactor more

dragon seems a bit overexposed, almost too bright to look at for any prolonged period of time.
