it's okay if it is small - great work
it would be a wonderful illustration or cover to a child's book

This looks like it should be a tapestry hanging on a castle wall. Wonderful!

Oh, I bet this took a lot of work. And unless you had really high resolution, and lots of time, those sandy textures would be prone to blurring, yes. I love the sandy texture (to go along with "sand castle dreams"), and the feeling that this is an actual 3D model---I mean in real life. It has that tactile a feeling. And the woman/mermaid who seems to be calling the dragon---her lover maybe? And the dragon calling back: Real grand dream stuff. Great castle detail too, and I love the peach-beige cloud/mist throughout, like sand clouds against that clouded sky. A miniature, masterful vision, and another delight from you. These pieces seem to know no end of invention.

(Boy, if you knew the typos I'm making! I'm not 100% with my wrists, so I'm typing like a hippo! Be thankful I edit these comments, otherwise you'd get "great job on th fr3xlst, love the rwbllst frps!")
