Description Far away, in the outer reaches of the universe, lies a world almost entierly made up of water. No rain ever falls here. No clouds ever touch the sky. There is nothing but endless oceans as far as they eye can see.

This is the home of the seagods, the water sprites, the spirits of the oceans. This is where they come from, and where they return.

Meetings between them can be as aimable as the dew on a summer morning, or as unforgiving as the cold, dead, space...




--------------

I've think I've done the horse's head too long Still, I rather like how this came out. It's the first starfield/nebula background that I've done that actually looks remotely like it's supposed to

ps...anyone see the 'dragons' or is it just me?

hmm the horse's nose is slightly to long, but it doesn't bother me. Nice how you made the horse's manes come out by using a slightly different colour, and the water with the dragons - so subtle!

It is, isn't it? Maybe he's suffering from a low tide or something

Thanks I wish I could do that sort of subtle thing on purpose

Those water spirits don't look friendly, like rearing dragons.
I love the composition and the contrast between turbulent sea and sky.

Maybe they've gathered to challenge a newcomer I know I certainly wouldn't want something like that appearing if I was out sailing

Thanks It was a longshot but once I'd gotten started the rest just sort of flowed. One of the easiest paintings I've everdone. Guess it wanted to be painted

Yesss, the dragons in the water, and one in the stars too.

Thanks I think this is probably one of the 3 best digitals I've done so far *jumps about excitedly*

*stares at painting* wow, I hadn't even noticed that one. But now that you mention it, there does seem to be a dragon with a big beek lurking in the heavens

Thanks for the fav too

TwilightBlade In reply to Maeix2 [2011-07-12 03:50:53 +0000 UTC]

It certainly is gorgeous.

Yeah, it does have a big nose, doesn't it? But it's a star dragon, so it can get by

My pleasure!

The horse looks so lost in this nebular galactic universe.

Great I wanted the spray to look like half-formed dragonheads but didn't want to make them too distict. Sounds like it worked.
