Almost every culture has its own interpretation of these mythical animals and they are given shape depending on these cultures.
Your goal is to create a dragon image, sweet or scary. You can let someone ride the dragon, let the dragon spit fire or even attack something! Anything you can think of to make your image exciting. Amaze us!
Note: It's okay to use a dragon image as your source but don't just paste a good picture on a background, be creative and make it your own!
Manax35: Does our piece have to be full photo manipulation or can our sources be drawn and then rendered using mixed media resources. ( 5 years and 2399 days ago )
lchappell: Manax35, you should be alright creating your own sources as long as you provide a Step By Step showing how you did it. Remember... try not to violate any copyright issues though. ( 5 years and 2399 days ago )
Your wish is...blah blah blah... I've uploaded a slightly larger version so you can get a bit more up close and personal. Be careful, tho. Dragons bite.
good idea.. but there is a half man under the statue you should get rid of it

By the way everybody, I feel like this entry could be better (I'm not sure how though), and the submissions close soon, so any suggestions on how to make this better would be really helpful. Thanks!
I don't do the chop contests. but this here entry, author, is so kool. How do you manage to cut and paste the bat wings so good, given that they are so thin and wispy ??
Great image. There is a light "halo" around your dragon. Removing this along with adding some shadow under the dragon would help. Good luck.
author says:
See the SBS. The glow is intentional, and as i mentioned in the SBS there are shadows under the feet. Since the hatchling is glowing, there would be no other obvious shadows. I especially made my comments in the SBS to avoid comments like yours. Pay attention.
Thanks for your comments. I gave you my opinion based on the image I can see. The "glow" you say is intentional, however, the image isn't dark enough to make it appear as a glow, only look like a white halo around the image. Again, I say good luck author

I have no idea what you're talking about. I suspect you don't either.
I believe what finalcut is trying to say is that the background is so light, and the glow is so faint that it does not come across as intentional, it would be much better IMHO, if you darkened said Bkgd, and brighten up the glow and perhaps have it show on the hand and the face of the girl. Give it a try, I'm sure you'll agree with us.

Didn't want to darken the background, so now the glow is more intense & more yellow. I think it looks better. The glow does show on the hand, but IMO it's not strong enough to show on her face. Anyway thanks for helping it improve.

Thanks. Love your dragon's expression!
small blue dragons should be named Uncle LOL (Pern Reference)

Very sweet creation
A sad day when Anne McCaffrey went "between". Her son just doesn't have the feel for Pern the way she did.
Can't even look at his versions, it hurts, (Totally agree)
Thank you for your votes.
