It is the longest night of the year. A full moon shines bright in the eastern sky. The sea is ruffled by a cold breeze off the island mountains. Clouds and mist swirl like molten silver across the navy backdrop.

Sailors call it Drak Journ Emak, the Night of the Dragon.

Beautiful work. I especially love the sky to the right of the dragon. The dragon didn't quiet seem to fit in though, it seemed a little "young".

:-) D. 'Yolaron' Hendrikson replies: "Thanks! the dragon is set apart from his background; I should work on that. "

This is really cool, it looks somewhat stylized if that's a word... I like how you can tell it's night time in the picture and it looks magical

:-) D. 'Yolaron' Hendrikson replies: "Thanks! I'm glad the setting came through ok. "

How was this done? I love it!

:-) D. 'Yolaron' Hendrikson replies: "I'm glad you love it! It was done using Adobe Illustrator and a mouse. It took, oh, about an hour I think, from start to finish. "

The moon is a little too white, and the dragon doesn't really blend with the scene as well as it could, but other than that great job.

:-) D. 'Yolaron' Hendrikson replies: "I know it could use a little work still; I didn't choose it for Mod's! thanks for the CC 2"

Absolutely gorgeous. I recognized your style even before I checked the name.

:-) D. 'Yolaron' Hendrikson replies: "That is high praise! thanks lots 2"

congrats: seems that your style really appeals to a lot of people. Though my personal favorite is the gate keeper, I do reckognize the artistic merit of this one. l really like the 'cardboard'effect on this one, it's like a lot of different cut-outs were put at different depths, and it creates a really special effect. Love that you found your own style!

:-) D. 'Yolaron' Hendrikson replies: "Thanks for the encouragement! It's nice to know that my style is liked 2 "

I like how your style seems simple but really isn't. Sort of art nouveau-ish? Not sure how to put that... and your colors are perfect ^^

Great stuff! Would love to see a shilouette of a pagoda against the moon.
