Wassial and welcome all. This is my wee corner of Renderosity here, so feel free to browse my gallery or even leave me obscene messeges in my inbox :P.  Also for those interested my Predator 2, Alien, and the new Swidhelm's Hunter (Predator for Mike 4) can be found at sharecg.com  I'm a hobbyist who for years has deigned and dabbled in Poser, Bryce, and eventually I got Wings 3d. I never used to be able to model worth beans, but have made some good progress over the years. Hopefully I'll be able to build a small business out of my art. I also write, though I don't post that here. Working on submissions to magazines and such. I compose digital music as well with sample libraries. Orchestral in nature usually. And for those who are wondering "what kind of a handle is Swidhelm?" it's an old Saxon name from around the eleventh century or so. Anyways, have a look about and hope you enjoy my gallery.
Also, for more of my art and music check out my Youtube channel, also Swidhelm.
Cheers, Swidhelm Darrin Smith

Awesome image. As far as the creation of fire is concerned, I think you're overanalyzing it. ;) As always, nice work. :)

A really great scene. Love the poses for both dragons. Wonderful mountain backdrop for their fight too. Great explanation regarding how dragons breath fire. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!

I'm more of a realist when it comes to fantasy as well. I never really considered dragons to be magical. To me, they were always meat and bones. The other view about dragon fire, is that they have honeycomb cavities lining their inner stomach that when mixed with the hydrochloric acid from their digestive system, creates hydrogen. The stored hydrogen helps to keep them aloft while in the air and they only spew it out, which ignites by a catalyst in their mouth, in times of defense or aggression. I think this is an awesome image. I really like the way the light plays out behind them and accentuates their veiny wings. Great work yet again. (still waiting for that tutorial).

Looks fantastic! I can not imagine any dragon worth anything allowing sadles and riders - not to mention that there own weaponry are far more dangerous. Can see the dragon.. you just go ahead and put a saddle on and I will ride you about. Like Foreermyt and yourself I agree with a realistic fantasy - even magic has to have a cost/price and reason dejur. No reason for the free ride when there is plenty else to chose from. EWS
