"You brought me here for this?"
"Isn't it what you wanted??"
"..I didn't think they glow like that."
"I think it's leaking, don't you like it??"
"Whatever, as long as it works. Follow me, carry this and don't drop it."
"..OK!"

With these two characters, like so many of your others, I immediately pick up a strong feeling of their character/personalities from what little or even absence of, description you give. The characters, with the overall scene and the fantastic lighting, speak for themselves.
The dragon strikes me as a classic hustler of hard to find and perhaps slightly less than legal, artifacts. Kinda reminds me of me when I was younger. :) I just had a knack for finding exotic things that others wanted (not drugs or anything like that). My boss is currently trying to buy from me one of these (now legal) items. Ah, the good old days!
And can you honestly tell me that the dialogue here was written solely to create this picture around and is not part of a much larger work?

Great to see you can pick up on some personality in the picture! The dialogue is setting up other images to follow so whilst they are going somewhere, it's not part of a larger story or text I've written. As I mentioned, I'm certainly no writer! But I've quite a few more in planning to continue on from this .
Good enough, just wishful thinking. Each of your pieces are whole stories in themselves and possibilities for each always flood my mind. Just keep tossing a piece at us now and then and we, your followers, will be more than happy. It's like waiting for a new book in a series to hit the bookstore, but without nearly the duration between. :D
You've really done amazing work with this :) The little lighting details reflecting off the figures and the shining background behind the bear's head look great. The texture on both of them is detailed so nicely in just the right spots. And the exposition of the story behind it all is just enough to urge my thoughts to come up with everything else!
Perhaps it's a radioactive baton of some kind....

Heey thanks Kalahari, glad you like! I think a few other peeps have mentioned something to do with radioactivity, but I'm not surprised. I wanted to put inanimate carbon rod in tags, but it's not quite green! Anyhow, good guess but it's not a baton, it's part of something!
I notice a strong usage of the colour purple, highlighted by the reds (notably in the background) and the bright, opposite-coloured yellow, bringing focus to the dragon. The light sources was their own colours over the colours of the characters, I see. However, the pattern on the dragon's tail provokes my curiosity of the dragon's true colours. Even so, their own colours flow into each other nicely. Even their natural eyes colours match their generally lit colours. (The purple-lit bear gets the purple eyes while the yellow-lit dragon gets the green eyes.)
Regarding the bear, I see strength on his right hand. What I admire the most is the detailed fur on the bear looking so slick and shiny on the head and soft on the arms. (I want to feel his fur all over... not inappropriately, of course. This was meant to be simple admiration.) I also spot a trail of eyebrows! You even accounted for the way the fur would stand up against the band around the arm. Interestingly, the slick fur on his head matches the smooth muzzle, which gets a bit fuzzy on the chin before following back to the fuzzy chest hair, which contrasts his smooth, shiny beads, which themselves contrast the slightly rougher and less shiny chain. I also notice that the details in closer view have less focus, especially since the light source is farther away and concentrated in two sources. Even so, I notice a 'helper' light source behind the two of them, bringing out their outlines, helping me see the earrings on the bear and the right horn of the dragon.
More on the dragon itself, I also like the detailed scales, shining from the light of the carbon rod, especially at the nose (the closest point to the light source). However, I see that the underbelly scales are bigger than the face scales. In fact, I notice a range of scale patterns all over the dragon. The horns look quite smooth with the left curved horn looking quite shark (literally), though I do not know what are those purple ovals that are between this horn and the face scales. What I would praise the most would be the fins... specifically the eyebrow fins which look the most realistic... especially his right one. Of course, his head and jaw fins are significantly good-looking, too. Speaking of the jaw, I caught both the point of his forward lip, the teeth (and the fangs!) that flow with the scales, and the jaw flap.
More on the clothes, I take notice that the dragon has a more 'seductive vendor' appearance with the horn decoration, head rings, finger rings (which sparkle, for some reason), and the lamp. In fact, the way the dragon has his hand and tail (especially the smooth tail which is reminiscent of a tentacle) on the bear supplements this appearance. Meanwhile, the bear has a more 'hierophantic' appearance, not just with the beads (not forgetting the ones on his wrist!)and earrings, but also his loose toga with the slight decorations. The toga even has a royal-looking brim that is complete with the colour gold and the insignia! Interestingly, such a hierophant would be just the kind for the suspicious rebuttal that you can see on his face.
A note on the carbon rod: already from the swirls do you see that the rod is substantially different than normal, the circle of circles at the top adding to this idea. Even so, I do not see that the rod is actually leaking...
The snipet of text on the bottom gives us a bit of context of the picture while not giving away too much. The writing style is pleasantly minimalistic, the readers knowing which lines of text belong to which animal.
I greatly admire your skill in drawing with such detail and realism. This just gets me to resolve in practicing my art. I wish I could see these two again, too...
