It's been quite a while since I've had a chance to paint something for myself. Been doing realistic type commissions for fellow grad students, so I wanted to do something unrealistic for a change.

A lot of technical errors in this one (including some flat out crazy lighting screw-ups) but overall, I'm happy with it since the basic idea and tone of the pic came through pretty well. Much thanks to and for their help and suggestions. And man, there's gotta be an easier way to do dragon scales....

The usual. Done in Photoshop from beginning to end. No references for this one.

Sheesh, I almost feel redundant praising your work, but this is absolutely amazing! I'm mostly impressed that you did all with photoshop. That must have taken forever. But the effects are awesome. All of the textures and the cast lighting is expertly done. I am in awe, like doubtless so many others of your admirers. Please do more. I soak up good artwork like a sponge. Ah, this piece is so nice! I think I'll bask in its golden glow for a moment...
