Description
The dragon is a mythical creature of which some interpretation or depiction appears in almost every culture worldwide. The physical description and supposed abilities of the creature vary immensely according to the different cultures in which it appears. However, the unifying feature of almost all interpretations is it being a serpentine or otherwise reptilian monster (or at least possessing a serpentine/reptilian part or trait), and often possessing magical or spiritual qualities and most likely bringing doom in apocalyptic movies.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Amazing work. It's interesting how you used a photograph in a digital painting.
The colours are nice. And that beast looks huge! Still he's almost cute.

Your attention to detail and textures just blow me away! I love this one for the contrast in the dark and bright colors, plus I have a soft spot for dragons.

Of course your colors as always are astounding. Really like this sleek Godzilla (that's not meant to be offensive) type image. Really spectacular. The fire is particularly awesome.
