Well, this is my second real work of art (my first was my MerLion: www.elfwood.com/~bobafettfan/MerLion-Final.3545604.html), and I'm really excited. But enough about me; the picture is, basically, a red dragon. Down in the lower right-hand corner is the original. After creating my MerLion in PhotoShop to practice a bit, I think my dragon came out nicely. I originally planned to do a duo (this one would be called 'Ketchup' and the other one, a yellow one, would be called 'Mustard') but decided not to do the yellow one.

I used PhotoShop to do this one, and I used many, many layers. Well, I used 13 layers. To me, that's a lot, probably just because I'm a newbie.

Notes:

1.        The full-size image is rather large and very high-quality. (In fact, it's bigger than your screen.) If you would like the full-sized/full-quality version of it, just ask. My email is BobaFettFan.Jordan@gmail.com.

2.        I always keep the original files, as well as the PhotoShop files (.psd) handy. If you want any of them just ask.

Well, believe it or not, I originally had the claws and gold highlights swapped. But then I realized that the gold kinda matched the original color better than the it matched the claws, so I decided to put it where the tan was. And anyways, it made the claws look really weird. But that’s just my opinion, lol!

Thanks for your comment!
