The dragon looks good, but I have a hard time reading the map as it is... I guess it'll improve thou. Good job!
Yep, there's a layer that sits above the dragon that has the hard reflected white on the floor, which will push the dragon into the background. Also, the dragon dearly needs to have it's levels adjusted to drop it more into the range of the ice.
As for the illustrative stuff - this is a first attempt at seriously drawing something in gimp rather than with pencil and paper. It's... interesting. We'll see how it turns out.
It's too bad the dragon wasn't turned 90 degrees. Then he could essentially be the bridge going from wingtip to wingtip.
Now that's an interesting idea.
Indeed...a north/south bridge across the head to tail region and an east/west bridge across the wings.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
-J. Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atom bomb) alluding to The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32)

Well after those suggestions the dragon is certainly going to be altered, but here's the current version:

Many more updates to follow over the course of today.
My idea was to actually only have the one bridge still, but to turn the dragon 90 degrees so that the wing span becomes the bridge span. Perhaps they work the dragon into the structure to make it look like the bridge was constructed as a dragon. Won't the PCs be surprised when they find out that it doesn't only look like a dragon, it is a dragon!
