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.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seriously dude, this is amazing, and subject matter is sort of a shock for you to use, it's quite different, but you nailed it.

Weeeeee! There goes the big apple! (NY)
Too bad that isn't for real... *evil grin*
(not absolutely serious about that)
Fantastic art, as usual. Though the dragon doesn't look like I would like it to look, but still it's great, with lots of details. And you'we got the fire and explosions realy realistic. Maby you could make a tutorial or something so other ppl would learn that too.
Salutations and applause for you once again.
And warm greetings too.

This is sooo cool. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. Tell us, what is this picture about? What is the dragon's motivation for destroying the city? What is the dragon's purpose?

Very intense! good job!

Very awesome as usual, out of curiosity, has the government ever approached you about your tendency to show major cities being destroyed or in a state of ruin? not that i would want you to stop cause it looks awesome

But if you compare the asian dragon to the european dragon, they dont look or share any treats at all.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
They both are flying lizards that breath fire. The major difference is that the European Dragon is associated with evil and the Devil, and the Asian (dominatly the Chinese) Dragon is a sign of good luck, prosperity, and in itself is a God.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
The European dragon looks like a giant lizard (sometimes with wings) while the chinese dragon looks like a cross breed of a snake, fish and dog + antlers... and sometimes it has that insane look as if it was high on exstacy
I dont know wich is worse ร_ร
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
yeah they are both fearsome looking, but the Chinese Dragon is a much kinder and wiser creature, and to me looks often more comical.

Wonderful! I absolutely love it!

thats freaking awesome dude great artwork and detail

super cool!!! I love the background so much! Did u take the background from reality and the monster have been done by photoshop?
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Very VERY tempted to yell "GODZILLA!". But I won't. XD
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Love it. Mass destruction by over-sized winged lizards is always awesome. But I do wonder... what pisses them off so much that they feel the need to do that all the time?

omg that dragon is scary. the face looks like a pterodactyl. O.O i really like the way the scales are pointy, it looks like armor like it's ready to battle or something

Very very cool. Props and Kudos and all that.

I really like matte paintings.

Love how you did the design for the dragon! Love it! ^_^

its a nice peice, but not a personal favourite, being an acute dragon lover I just find it too, abstract is the word that comes to mind, no offense or anything, it's a great peice, but I just think the dragon could have been done differently.
