Description The Bronze dragons are probably the most social species of dragon, and often swim and play together in groups. Bronze dragons claim coastlines, inlets, and islands as their own, constructing lairs in coastal caves that have access to the sea such as on the Hawaiian islands. The new favorite past time of the rich and famous is to hop on a luxury liner and tour the waters around the coast to spot these dragons. Much like whale spotting...only a bit more extreme. The intensely curious Bronze Dragons often seek new experiences, and much like dolphins they love to swim and play around passing ships.


I realized I hadn't done a Bronze dragon yet, but that's remedied now. Done in CS3 in about 10 hours.

Netarliargus In reply to HydraTamer [2012-02-07 17:00:21 +0000 UTC]

It's a matte painting, it's a combination of drawing and photo manipulation.

Your lighting just keeps getting better and better! Although I can't tell how much of this is a photo, you did a wonderful job of blending everything together, so I suppose that's a good thing.

Netarliargus In reply to IFoldBooks [2012-02-06 15:23:45 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, and yes, I discovered the technique of "Matte Painting" a lot of concept art is made that way, a combination of drawing and photo manipulation. It's not as easy as it sounds, 'cause the human eye can detect with ease when something is not "fitting in."

Ah, even tropical resort not safe! Well at least Russia doesn't have resorts, but still it not bad to go to the Hawaiian Islands . I guess they don't get along with the locals. Especially when it comes to fish.

Nice job I love it!

No, Russia got the White dragons in Siberia, and they get along even less with the locals.

I would like to take a trip like this Such a great idea with dragons being interest by ships much like dolphins.

The picture is pretty with bright colors. I like the composition as well, with dragon on the foreground and the ship in the distance, which seems to be small.

Are the Bronze dragons huge? The one which is close to the ships doesn't look small at all, compared to the ship, and those big cruise vessels are really big.

Thanks!
Just like some reptiles, Dragons do not stop growing and they do live for a long time. In the later stages of their life they can reach up to 56 feet tall and spanning 240 feet in length from the end of the muzzle to the tip of the tail.
