Description My entry for the "Dragon" contest at

The contest was to do a photo-manip featuring a dragon, with the dragon itself being manipped from stock of other animals. My dragon was constructed head to tail from stocks of fish, bats, gazelle, iguanas, toads, snakes and komodo dragons. I used several stocks of dragon paintings and sculptures for reference.
I lost count due to a lot of merging, but my best guess is that the dragon itself was somewhere around 60 layers. If anyone is interested, you can see the dragon before any blending, coloring or lighting was added here. [link]

at first glance it's hard to tell what is manipulation and what is painted

Azzeria [2012-01-09 12:44:48 +0000 UTC]

Very nice color combinations. This creation has a lot of beautiful details as well. Somehow I just feel the background doesn't 100% fit. Can't quite put my finger on what it is but.
Other than that, good job : )

Very beautifully done and I'm impressed at the dedication to the dragon (I'd hope axey isn't planning on killing it now). But yes, this is quite an impressive piece of work
