Description Every evening, the gold dragon flies home to the west beyond the reaches and boundries of man. On his journey, he cannot resist the temptation of the lake, and dips his claw in as he passes. In an instant, cool waves of refreshing breeze overcome him, and the beauty of the night romances his heart.

Whoa... brilliant! I love the intensity of the look on his face, but also the silkiness of the water. Very nicely done! And whee! Yellow! My favourite colour.

Ohh, you have captured my heart, this is the best pic ive seen so far when it comes to putting a dragon into a theme of nature. Love the reflection in the water of the dragon and the deep clouds behind in the nightsky. My I dare ask how you made it?

Glad you like it! How did I do it? well, photoshop was the program, i first drew light lines with pencil, then scanned it in, then Coloured it with many, many layers, and removed the lines afterwards. The clouds were tricky and water is always difficult to capture. But hey, I thought it turned out okay. Some tutarials in the past helped me for rendering clouds too. If there's anything in specific that you want to know with what I did, let me know and I'll gladly share!
