I struggled a bit to get started with this one but in the end it was the wonderful perspective of this photo that inspired me.

Finding source pictures that fit into that perspective...well, let's just say I truly considered starting over quite a few times. Luckily, atmospheric colour saved me in more than a few places.

When the castle was finally done to my satisfaction, the image still needed something, a focus point of some sort. Thus happened the dragon.

It's strange, my very first dragon took about a week to finish, and I'm still not completely satisfied with her. I made this one in less than a day, but I think his overall look is much more consistent. His face could use a bit more work, but overall, I'm pretty proud of him.

Animated Work in Progress.

I can imagine how hard this would be! I've been trying to work with a hard perspective manip for a while now and I just can't get it the way I want! I really appreciate the effort you put into this. It came out very nice! I love the detail in the close up dragon and the higher up ones really look like they're in motion, not just stuck there. Very nice!!
