The Rising

As the Dragon was drawn and painted in Photoshop from scratch I have produced a WIP and (very) mini tutorial video that shows the process ... it can be found here ...

(Warning: it is 26mb for those with slower or limited download capabilities)

Dragon Background Info
 I have been working on the Dragon for a long time ... he has been through so many variation ...different leg positions, wing shape and angle, tail curvature and tip ... Finally after working on it for months I gave up ... then a year later looked at it again and managed to finish it! Never have I spent as much time on an image as I did on this one! But finally it is done!!!

Stock Info
All the stock used in this piece are my own photos. I drew the dragon from scratch except for the scales.
Scales: I used 2 of the seamless textures created by Marqoni and adjusted them quite a bit. The texture file can be found here - Marqoni Dragon Textures


NOTE: There is a faint watermark on the image (in the sky) ... it is not a mistake. I put it there for protection from copying I just hate making it too obvious
