Description Lost in a dream I'm under the spell
of this sunny magic land
But Aresius said: Become aware! All can hide the hell...
Now it's time to go to the mighty sword
it's time to follow the kings holy call

Holy dragons keepers of time
Ride brave the blue skies and spell my eyes
Fly beyond these hills ride on the wind
The wisdom of the kings
(Rhapsody - wisdom of the Kings)

This is the longest I ever spent on a pic, I started it a while ago and stayed on it for 3 days straight. I only gathered the patience to finish it tonight . I actually did a background from scratch.. gasp!
Open Canvas 1.1 and some Photoshop.

Awesome dragon! I wonder if that big heavy tail weighs him down when he flies...

Very nice pose and comp! I especially love the scalework on the dragon. Iridesence is an attractive look, and I just love the expressions your dragons have.

For critique I'd say make the shadows more intense to add dramatic effect and accompany his lying beneath the moon. I'm not sure what it is about the sword that boggart sees, but I do agree, though it is an interesting design. I'm thinking that it may be the thickness of the sword compared to some of the more slender parts of the dragon.

First, w00t for Rhapsody. Nice detail on the dragon, especially the scales, but the sword... it seems lacking. It looks a tad cartoonish compared to the dragon. Maybe give it a more ornate hilt or something.

>_< yeah I know, but I suck at swords. You should of seen it before, it seriously looked like a tree.

Oooh! It looks like one of those little crystal dragon paperweight thingies!

The background and what-not is really nifty. The only issue I have is with the wings--they appear to be at unusual angles within themselves. It kind of makes my eyes tweak up a lil bit. It's still nice overall, though.

Cool dragon, I like the blue color you gave it, it gives it a more distinct feel
