Just a scene I made a while back, then started inserting figures in an attempt to bring it to life. The demonoid is not modeled by me, but was a freebie. The dragon's head is a Rhino model I made some time ago, and the wings are from the Millenium Dragon. This is just the raw Bryce render, cropped down from 300DPI to 100. I planned on doing some postwork water-spray and splash action, but other than that, any ideas about this image? Thanks for viewing, as always!

Wait, I was wrong about that. I DID run KPT6 Equalizer on the scene, then faded it about halfway, and also ran FP Aetherize, and faded it down halfway as well. Sorry for any confusion, no crazy new render techniques here...

I LIKE it!

It's hard to get a sense of scale - I thought I knew the scale, then noticed the palm trees on the far shore, and wasn't sure. Creepy little dudes!!! :o) wonder if you put a human figure or two in there, or a cow or horse or something, to establish scale?

I like it... maybe you could add a net of some sort over the dragon? As it is, it's hard to tell why the dragon is trapped.

Aye, well I don't think the dragon was trapped, but I think he was laying the trap... Aye, I'm with you pogmahone, on the scale factor. It's difficult to really set it up. Perhaps if I shrank the foreground palms a bit? Or used DOF?

he was laying the trap - maybe name it Ambush? The dragon does have a sneaky, triumphant look on his face!!

Awesome. Very nice, but the tiny trees near the pond look wierd in comparison to the huge ones in the BG.

just a thought - how about water streaming off him, and eddies moving outwards, to make it obvious that he's just heaved up out of the water?

Good call... I'm going to try to use terrains, but alas, I think much of it will have to be done in Postwork.
