It's like... making it's foot drag through the clouds if you didn't get that.

This looks like it belongs in one of those hardcore Fantasy calendars, where each month has a pic of a scantily-clad woman holding a mystic orb before a thorny dragon, or something--

The body is lithe and taut thanks to strict use of shadow and scant use of light. The wings are thin and rigid like parchment, and I like how you have sunlight (moonlight?) streaming through the little holes. Attention to little details like that really make a piece like this something magnanimous. The clouds are light and flufy like misty cotton. There is a level of color control that is purely masterful. The only way I could see this beaten is if someone made a piece with a more dazzling complex figure, or if they had an astounding level of action going on in the piece. Otherwise, I'd say you are a shoe-in! Good job, and good luck

never thought about it as moonlight actually maybe it is?
also, the colours weren't so great until I added a photo filter those things sure rock!

Strong-Rad In reply to Draakh [2008-02-03 17:39:36 +0000 UTC]

I thought "moonlight" cuz I thought I saw some stars on the left there. Whatever it was meant to be it looks good!
