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

The detail on the dragon is absolutely stunning. I love how the wings sort of fade off into the distance. The fire seems a little unreal to me and doesn't seem to blend well with the background though; otherwise this piece is really amazing. <3

Fucking epic. The artist attempts to create a work of epic scale and succeeds, very full of win man. I see only one hidden 'vitaly.s.alexius' you should hide more for the art thieves, and those of us that read wheres wally as kids.

The dragon looks epic indeed. You should do some more pieces with 100% painting rather than photo-manip. Imo

Each 100% painted piece takes way longer and lots of clients don't have time or money for that stuff, sadly.
