nice concept, can avoid the frame

The size and the perspective of the house don't match the shore...

concept is nice n well done but cud have been much better
... thot that the frame is not necessary but felt it`s jst enhancin the effect but cud have been better if the all the borders were of ame proportions ... anyways i just admire the concept
really nice one

It's so cute! Poor 'lil guy, look at his expression... I love it, very neat and tender work.

Sweeeeeet!

Wonderful detail in the dragon skin -- bonus for the story

Beautiful work

There's going to be a dragon beating LOLOLOLOL

EDIT: LOL Author (you'd love the Menolly of Pern.. (Dragonsong, Dragonsinger, and Dragondrums) wonderful pet firelizards in those stories (she Had 9 "House Dragons" and Beauty (the gold firelizard queen) would wrap her tail around her neck and look like a necklace (you'd get some wondrous visuals from those stories.. especially when they describe them singing or when they blink into BETWEEN)

Very nice chop Author.

wow, this is awesome!

Good grief, Slushy! You don't beat house dragons! Didn't you notice the claws and beak? Its safer to just clean the mess up.

Amazing entry author,this dragon is one of the best and cutest i ever seen in my life...For my taste,this is the master piece,and i love the story behind the image...Once more,clap,clap from me....
edit:and before voting i know was u...

Lovely piece very well crafted!! Along with the story...wonderful creativity!

Beautiful work and a fabulous sbs... love the story too

Slushy, I've been a fan of Pern since 1978. I really like Lessa's story, Dragon Flight, but I think my favorite is Master Harper of Pern. Erathion, argggh, I don't want my style recognized. lol But I have a feeling that art is kind of like handwriting, unique to the individual. Hmmm, maybe if I used my left hand for photoshopping...

Excellent

Great work.Especially dragon looks splendid.And tip.If You just suggest some broken vase bottom and some transparency (maybe a fragment of flower stem inside),effect will be much better.Good luck.

just wonderful......this is perfect...!

nice work on dragon, but flowers look like paper cutting, not having dimension. Improve it

you are amzing ,good luck

Don't worry author,its not bad when someone recognize your style,that defined u as a unique artist...This is amazing work,i say that once one,love it so much...perfect 10 for u...well done

subtle... I would have had the blades of grass in front though... but I can see that you wanted Mr Snailington to be noticed .... well done

wow...incredible!

Love it! Great work, author.

the main focus is on the house and not the path... also looks inspired by my last 2 lightning entries... (one though not uploaded from photoshoptalent days)
good luck though

JamesD I appreciate your comments but no you aren't my inspiration on this entry. If you had been I would have listed you in the credits
I have been waiting for a contest to do something "spooky". I had also not seen your entry (above link) until just now. Your stuff is great and yes it is similar but unfortunately mine is inspired and created by me. We have used the same source image for the house so of course it looks like yours! It would be hard NOT to look similar!

I appreciate your comments, personally I like the focal point and the positioning of the house and pathway. Best of Luck on your entries!

Author, I love spooky images like this... Nice work!

Author, your use of the path is minimal. You could have used it to replace some of the siding on the house. That would have really rocked. (PS: It's not too late to do that).

Thanks CMYK for the suggestion! Please check the revised version

very nice work author...best of luck

Nice job author. I especially like the surreal skew on the house dimensions. Nice touch.

I can't see where source is in it ?

Author, the revised version is a great improvement...good luck! (y0

Chuck - the pathway is used in front of the house as well as parts of the siding are also the pathway. The railings used on either side of the walkway are also from the source image. Hope this helps!

Thanks again CMYK

Great job author! Reminds me of the old house in Zork I. Even though they didn't have graphics back then and you had to use your imagination... siiigggghhhh.... I'm old... Keep on chopping these Awesome images.

Really spooky, I am shaking with fear any time I see it

Killer job on this one as well
