Title: And the Same To You
Name: Michelle Boulad
Country: Australia
Software: Painter

The title isn't going to make sense unless I tell you the hummingbird over the dragon is sticking out it's tongue too I'm sorry I just couldn't think of a title, so that'll have to do.

About 25 hours total. Painter IX wacom intuos tablet. I wanted to play around with textures, especially in the background. This is a very different style background to what I usually make, so it was a good stretch for me. I loved using the sumi-e pen for the foliage (which is hard to see, I have that layer at about 50% opacity)

Thanks very much for the comments bodhi-an and benkashmir :D.I should have (and forgot to) mention the inspiration for the texturing and some of the anatomy on the dragon is from previous works I've painted of eastern gippsland waterdragons :) Nice to use inspiration from a RL animal like that, I enjoyed it.

Very nice concept. The dragon is great, I like a lot its "texture". The background looks very good too, with those textures. Nice work Michelle.
