Description

Victoria 2, Greek Hair, Gypsy & Genies outfit, Millennium Dragon, Faery, some of the Books - DAZ 3D Dwarf Mines - Runtime DNA Posed in Poser 5 and rendered in Vue d'Esprit 4 This picture was my entry in the Renderosity Magazine #5 cover contest. It received an honorable mention. The rug that the dragon and woman are on was created using the Poser 5 cloth room to drape a flat square prop across the ground such that it followed the ground's shape. The majority of the books on the shelves were created by stretching a cube and applying texture and bump maps of several books to it. Although not readable even in the 300dpi version, most of the books actually have various titles and authors written on their spines, some in English, some in dwarvish or elvish runes.

Sounds like a lot of work. Very detailled with all those books lying around. Dragons are more than savage beasts. It is well known that dragons are creatures full of wisdom, and this wonderful image shows how they gain it. Wonderful artwork!!

What an incredible image, I can't imagine the work you put into this. Amazing. The only distraction for me are the two glowing bulbs, especially the one next to the Dragon's head, my eye is drawn to that immediately, and I think it takes away from the overall effect... I'd tone down the hotspots in them just to a touch.
