Description I like how this one turned out I made it as an example image for my Imaginary Friend Contest .

When I was a kid I had an imaginary friend named Sam. He was a ghost dragon...I was convinced that all dragons had died out a long time ago and still haunted the land. And that's me, age 10.

1 week ~ PSCS3. Brush used - 46 spatter, no tricks.

He's what I imagined one of my fictional dragons to be. My dragons name is Cloud and he and his sister are featured in my short story Dragons: A Chance Encounter.
The only difference is clouds not furry in anyway and he has golden eyes not purple. His sister has purple eyes though.
Great Dragon!!!!

Very nice ^^ I have an imaginary friend too, he is a dragon male with fuzz, i think he's poison type, and i named him Buddy, it's nice that he can change to a juvenile form when he wants soo i can take him inside the house ^^ And his real form (middle life, teenager) is very giant ^^ nice to know that someone else had an imaginary friend too

My imaginary friend was also a dragon. His name was Marcus, but the good thing about him was that he could change his size. XD lol

Very good work with your dragon

hpholo [2008-11-06 02:38:10 +0000 UTC]

That's a rather inventive imaginary friend! I like the fact that it seems to have fur, and the design of the ears and snout is really appealing.

carolinejamhour [2008-11-01 04:38:43 +0000 UTC]

I love your painterly style as always, and how the dragon seems dangerous and friendly at the same time. He has cute little sharpy teeth! Also, it's great that you made him furry and not scaley.
The shape of the tree bark is cool!

There are about a thousand old photos of me in a box somewhere, and in every single one I am sitting in the dirt playing with a worm.

You're so great at atmosphere and colours and fur. I like the expression on the dragon's face. xD Looks like he's telling the girl "Come on, I know a place where we can pick up some nice guys!"

Didn't say it looked like Falcor only, but a cross with Draco from Dragonheart. If that is the case, you have one sexy dragon with a 007 voice
