Description Been reading a lot of Mythology Bibles as of late and, as usual, Dragons have the biggest section in the books.
Main influence for this is the way the Western hemisphere looks at dragons: powerful, dangerous serpents that represented demons and, for the most part, Satan back during the Medieval Ages (although, MANY things were considered Satanic then...>>; ).

Tried my hand at "collaging" with photoshop, line-less. I liked it. Gave me excuses to mess around with the filters

So, I see you've done your mythology bible-age for the day.
A pretty nice new technique there, too.
Different, but awesome. >o<
I love that blotchy, scale-like design on the crest of the head/back.
But MOST OF ALL, I LOVE the eye. @___@;;; Why can everyone colors eyes better than me. Gaaah.

I actually dont know which I like better between Eastern or Western. >_<;
Dragons are dragons and I love 'em all.

It's an interesting technique, to say the least, but I like it >.> don't know when I'll try it again, but it was a nice change.
THE EYE IS THE BEST. I had fun with that XD even though it only took me two minutes to fool around with filters on it.
Thanks! :3

Wonder how many Western Dragons would submit themselves to having that tranquil attitude, though
Anyway, Thank you!

I still cant tell them apart. But I never really liked the Chinese looking dragons... they are too skinny.

could always give a western dragon a chinese mustache >.> although somehow it just makes me think of koopa-fied Mario Bros. ...
Anyway, Thanks

I much prefer the Eastern look at dragons, and that makes it difficult to add to my collection, because it's so hard to find peaceful-looking dragons for sale. This looks amazing. I like all of the colors, and I don't really understand the whole "collaging" on Photoshop, but I like the look of it. His eye really stands out to me, which is wicked sweet! Awesome stuff, >'.'< miau Jess
