Sorry to jack your thread but I did something similar the other day:


It's a dragon made out of an iguana and a vampire bat.

jaerdaph beat me to it. That could have been a Rigellian castle for Star Trek TOS. I miss that show. Y'all ROCK, mate.

Cheers Su liam! That iguana has a very dignified expression!

"I am Iguana Draconis, lord of all I survey! You can call me 'Bob'."

He seems a little heavy-set for a dragon. Square-cube law and all that rot.

Now *that* reminds me of Clash of the Titans and all those Sinbad movie monsters that Ray Harryhausen created, which is really cool too.

Check some of these out...also a good place to get skills http://forums.cgsociety.org/forumdisplay.php?f=196


Looks good tho Ravells...my only suggestion would be to use higher res source material.

Thanks Arcana! One of the lessons learned is to take a lot more trouble over choice of source material in the future! Time permitting, I'll have another go over the weekend at something new. - And thanks for the link, I'm definitely going to learn a lot from there!

Here's my next effort from today...bit blah.

Getting better Rav,

I like the water paint effect that unless I miss the point is should be the result of the sea mist create by the wave on the rock.

Here's two compositions I made last year when I was in Kingston. The first one is from the game I was running and the second is a wallpaper of my old world.
I don't know if it apply to what you’re doing here because I only merge many pics together, but take a look and have fun.

In any case continue to improve,
Alu.
