Title: Bellerophon's Last Ride
Name: Stella Daneilus
Country: Sweden
Software: Photoshop

This is based on the Greek myth of Bellerophon and his attempt to reach Mount Olympus on his winged steed Pegasus. The gods didn't like his arrogance, and so they sent down a gadfly to bite Pegasus. The horse reared at the pain, and Bellerophon fell off and plunged to earth. Here I have replaced the gadfly with something bigger.
The horse and the dragon were the easiest to paint. I used reference photos for the rocks and the human.

Wow, good work, though I think some details should be done more elaborately. The dragon looks funny :)

Love your sense of humor! :) I almost missed the dragon holding Pegasus back - by his tail! Too cute! I *love* the dragon's expression as well!

Great image!

Thank you! Yup, he looks a bit bored, maybe thinking about eating the horse in one gulp.

Pnkdan, I agree that some things sould have been painted more elaborately - like the wings of the dragon. I ran out of ideas on those. :)
