Description Looks a little like he's doing the cha cha doesn't he?

Trying a little bit of texture usage in photoshop, something I love when done well, but also something I've never really tried

Really nice dragon and great texture! There looks to be a lot of him. Dig the expression. He seems very mellow and playful all at the same time.

This is a really excellent looking sea dragon. I love the shine and texture of the scales, and the light lures on the mouth and fingers. This is a really interesting design.

I remember my first venture into textures. What a trip. The contrast and flow here is great. Not many dragon pics these days that can rate impressive anymore, but this one changes the rules. Great job!

This would make great art for Purina Dragon Chow! remarkable work on the crazy pose and the metallic/reflective scales in gold tone are incredible! We see our share of dragons in these parts, but not too many Eastern Water Dragons! I'll give double extra credit for the creativity and for that choice, but the whole piece is executed perfectly and gets the epic win! Superb work, this rawks!
