Description For the contest "Fantasy Landscapes" held by [link]

This work took me exactly 48 hours (full weekend, yesterday from 7:30 pm to 5:30 am and today from 7:30 pm until now 1:05 am) ... and I am SO happy with it! (My 5th work, 61 layers and a lot of painting and learning of new things just out of pure luck!!).

Even if I start the fair tomorrow, I could manage to sleep less ... I absolutely had to send this piece to the contest!

A SECRET:
I could do it this "quickly" because I used several tubes, as you will see on the credits. They really spare time on isolating the stock pieces to be used. I want to specially thank for their incredible tutorial on how to create fantastic, first class tubes! You should read it [link] and try the method ... and join the club, of course ). There is a huge amount of FANTASTIC tubes that can be traded to help us work so much faster!

Well, wish me luck for the contest. ...And if I don't win, I really don't mind... This is a work I am really proud of, honestly !!!

I want to dedicate this work to all my friends and watchers that love and believe in magic

Oh, Lordeana...thank you!
What can I say? I never really think of myself as an artist,
but the joy I felt while doing this work was incredible!

I like the way this landscape seems to be closed on itself, like a perfect entity (: The beautiful dragon fits in well too.

You are so right.
I thought of us spectators as being hidden in the forest, watching
a scene in silence... a scene that would change and vanish in a second
if we were noticed...

this is the most charming dragon I've ever seen. It looks so lithe and I bet it's a female dragen I love the colors you've used. Alltogether a very successful and an eye-chatching work, sweetie

Manwathiell In reply to ebrulii [2009-10-15 00:09:41 +0000 UTC]


Oh, Ebru, thank you! And yes, it is a female dragon!
I was tempted to add the father flying in the background, but then on a second
thought I left it just like this

You know how much I value your opinion... you made me extremely happy!!!

I thought that myself... Seems that these kind of fantasy scenes
and landscapes are what I like most imagining and doing...
Adding the details, imagining a world... it's really cool!!
I promise to do my best next time !!!
And thank you SO much for your encouragement, Craig!
