Description Whew, finally done.
HOLY CRAP IM NOT GOING TO USE SUCH A FRIKKEN HUGE CANVAS FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
Seriously, the canvas was like 4400x3300 or something. It was insane. I had to shrink it like crazy. It seemed like my computer was trying to swim through molasses or something. It was sooo slow.

Anyway, yep. I've been on a dragon kick lately, and this was the first one to get coloured. I wanted to do something with a starfield, and then I threw a dragon or two in and an extremely crappy moon.

I'm actually pretty pleased with this. But I spent so much time on it ((like 5 or 6 hours from beginning to start)).
And yes, there are two dragon images in the starfield. =3

Or possibly a neighbour? Hardly possible, methinks. xP
Can you imagine how beautiful that would be though? These monstrous beings, playing amongst the stars? Quite a soothing image.

Nope, I don't think is possible for us to be consider their neighbor. Yes, it would be beautiful and a awesome experience to be able to watch something so lovely and yet deadly playing by the light of the moonlight. It would be something very rare to see and a one-time chance of a lifetime.

Yeah, I was trying to determine if I should make the wings transparent or not but I wanted a bit of the moon to show through, so I chose transparent.

That looks so awesome! The colours are fantastic and the stars look so amazingly awesome. I used a gigantic canvas once with the intent of putting a lot of detail in it, but I ended up shrinking it by so much because it slowed my computer down so much. Very awesome pic .

Yeah, I had to shrink it down about half way through or my computer was going to croak.
