Artist's Comments
You know, I admit to having quite the fascination with chinese/oriental dragons. I remember someone once gave me a very interesting book about them, and it said that they lived in rivers, and that they were born as silvery little worm creatures that lived in rivers. So I decided I'd draw one of those dragons, in what appears to be a very deep river -- perhaps a lake or pond that pools up along the river's course, or a simple deep spot? Regardless, we have here the dragon in the water.
At this point I may also like to add that I do love how twisty they are. I redesigned this one's curves several times. You know, this is the first time I've painted a dragon in a long while. I know you guys seem to appreciate it when I draw dragons using solids in oekaki, so I hope you'll like my photoshop dragon? Either way, I do believe I like him. I don't know how long this took me because I forgot to time, but spent over a week working on it and it seemed to take a very long time. Other than that, I used photoshop CS3, cgtextures.com for the textures, and the picture, of course, was by me. ;3 edit;; changed a few things based on own irks and my dad's crits. And I'm really stunned about this pic's reception...This has to be the most favs I've gotten in one day, let alone on one picture just after submitting said picture. xD thanks, guys! second edit;; bah, man, I can't believe you guys like this so much! xD It looked so crappy on normal monitors, too! So I had to go in and fix 'er up on this giant one I'm borrowing. Sheesh. Well, at least it's better now. :3 third edit;; 94 faves wtffffff. ok if it hits 100 I'll eat my shoe. no I won't. because I'm afraid it will. o_0 but seriously how can my other art pieces ever hope to compete with this?

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.
