I really wish they would make the UVsnapshot so it would output higher res than 2048x2048. Its hard to see some details with all the UVmaps on one map now.
The render with the wire texture on it was in the maya software render, with GIJoe. It wasn't untill I started tweaking the UVplacemnt that I started useing MentalRay.

If you look at the pic, you can see what i mean. You may have to adjust the UVs a lil because you what the contours of the texture to follow the yellow lines, and instead they are following the red ones.
REALLY looking forward to this texture, I'd offer to help, but i know you're are MUCH better at 2d art then me = )

Vecter man.. well I'v change the scheem of the texture a little.. are thease more what you were thinking about.. ?
note that you can see a little of the wire frame mixed in with it. Its being erased as I go, using it as a ref of corse. The outlineing hear will be placed in the bump more than on the color texture as hear.. I'm doing it this way to make it eazyer to see the posible afect as I go.

The wings are completely redone.
The front of the neck looked to flat.
Little edits on the top of the chest.
Legs are reshaped a little and now have more connecting ligaments in to the body.
UV maps all adjusted for changes.
rendered flat with out textures to make geo changes clear.

. Perhaps to make it more realistic (ahum), maybe you could add some skin thickness I don't know, by displacement, bump mapping or surface thickness? I almost feel too humbled by your dragon to even think of comment .
