Personal Work - Updating 2nd Year Animation for Portfolio

I decided to re-visit my final piece from last year's animation unit, as although I was happy with it at the time, my skills as an animator have improved, so in order to make this piece worthy of my portfolio I felt it needed to be updated.

The main difference the new version has to the original is that I added a moving sky into the background. My animation was criticised because of the blank white background and at the time I had no time left to change it, so I decided it would be a priority. 
Another difference is that I added tone and shading to the dragon and his surroundings to make the picture seem less flat. 
I also changed the appearance of the fire breathed by the dragon when he accidentally sneezes and burns the butterfly, making it a more detailed flame compared with the scribble it was before.

The new version can be found here
