I have been writing stories and poetry all of my life. My interest in art began when my Dad held my hand when I was about two years old and helped me to draw a face. Since then I have progressed through pencils and crayons through water colours and oils and finally I am doing most of my art on the computer. I have created all of the illustrations in my books and have a substantial art gallery here at Renderosity. I was born in England and travelled to Australia with my family when I was ten years old. We moved to Mount Gambier when I was a child and I returned here in the early 90s and have lived here since. My early life was filled with books and reading and every Christmas we always received a story book of some kind. I remember our book shelves being filled with the works of Kipling, Shakespeare, H. G. Wells, Jules Verne and Edgar Allen Poe, to name a few, together with a good smattering of Enid Blyton and many other children's authors. That early contact with books at my mother's knee inspired a love of reading and writing for which I will always be thankful.

Love experimenting with new effects, well done!

I like the colors and the composition. You might consider giving the dragon some (less goofy) expression, either lucky (Asian) or menacing (European). Well, the image reminds me of Mount Fuji, so... I find your experiments with particles inspiring.

Nice image. I like the way the background colors seem to follow the dragon's S-shape and how the light comes through the middle -- almost like the dragon is twining around it. Everything seems very connected in this image.

Lovely, Jo, personally I would suggest that viewers check the full-size view to really see the details, especially in the dragon. I think that his being black/white really adds to the drama, as he is bathed in the indigo at the edges of the white-hot center. Jo is a beta tester for ZenLiner3, the post-processing app for this and Jo's earlier dragon pic, I am still accepting new testers for those interested in easy-to-use effects ranging from subtle to dramatic, more info at www.zenwareonline.com/zl3/zl3beta.html Dan www.zenwareonline.com for Poser utilities and the complete line of Zenware graphics apps
