Description

Bit of a large project considering the fog my mind is always in. Was inspired months ago when I was flying around on my dragon in World of Warcraft. It has evolved quite a bit in that time though. Dragon and elf done in Daz Studio. Background done in Bryce and Daz Studio.. (Actually, the vast majority of the work) It looks simple, but was quite hard getting the landscape, textures, fog and light the way I wanted. The castle was done in Daz and imported into Bryce. Lots of custom work in Paintshop Pro. (Am not real sure which gallery this really belongs in actually.. chose DAZ since the characters were rendered in DAZ even though most of the work was done in Bryce and PSP.) Full size recommended as I think this loses a lot of impact in the shrunken form. Credits: Subdragon, V4, Frostbite costume, Nieves texture, Castle Builder, Roman Shoes, Young Adventurers Tiara, Vayne Braid etc., are available at DAZ. Staff is a freebie from Aery Soul Dragon eyes are from georgehaze's free metal shaders.

Very cool render and composition, Sandy. This is right up my alley. Never tried WoW. But i'm a EQ2 and MMO veteran in general. Wonderful fantasy piece here.+5

Wonderful work and the lighting is excellent. It can be quite tricky to get a good night/dark scene and still be able to see everything. Great dragon and rider.

This is so beautiful, Sandy. I love the many tones of blue and the golden eyes of the dragon. Wonderful textures and light. The characters stand out nicely sharp and defined against the misty background. I like the way the dragon is staring at the viewer and the elf's posture and expression. She is relaxed but alert, conserving energy for the long patrol. Superb image!
