Description
"What an incredible cold evening it was, as I continued forward through the thick brush. The Forest of Uldrel is known for mythical creatures appearing, however I don't believe in any fairy tales as such. I stumbled upon an amazing sight, the sunset was quite a sight and a vast open field. I noticed a peculiar thing, the trees, ground and bushes around me seemed to be humming. I thought the bitter cold was finally reaching my mind, until the ground started trembling. My heart ceased to beat, when a monumental creature suddenly exploded out of the ground. My eyes could not believe it, it was a DRAGON! The shock was overwhelming, promptly throwing me back. I sensed legendary power from this creature, as it lifted its enormous weight off the ground. Trees were like twigs, snapping into pieces around it..."I just went through a really messed up breakup and I needed to express anger.

This is an awesome picture.
The toning and shading on the dragon is fantastic! And the way you have made the background simplistic while using a vast array of colours has made the dragon really stand out! There is a great sense of motion surrounding the Dragon and the dust.. It's really lifelike! Nice work!
Unfair that you have so much talent.. but still great work x']

Stunning detail, Amir. This work is quite impressive. The glitter of dawn, the warmth of the light, the wingspan and scars in the sky from the beast's movement -- brilliant.
