My mighty friend,
here we are:
the sky's yours,
for me to ride it.
Your noble back will be my seat,
your flaming breathe
will be my weapon.
We're the warriors
that will keep safe
the world below,
so let's be brave:
no fears of falling,
and open eyes,
we'll have our battles
we'll have our troubles...
In you I put my trust in full,
I know you ain't gonna let
nobody hurt
nor me, nor anyone
of those down there
who watch above
with confidence.
Those people
good,
our frajile friends,
feel in their core
we're fightin there
to keep protectin their days
of love,
lettin them free
to live their lives
with hopes of peace
and towns with flowers,
while up for us
there are wild ridings...

Painted in Photoshop 7, starting with a blank scratch, with mouse only. 7 hours of work aprox..
Dedicated to Elfenone :) Hope I did nicely enough to please your challengin task :) Kiss :)
-----------------------
This is sort of new for me: new is the subject, that I never properly tried before (I love fantasy, but it's not really my realm), new is the style, kind cartoonish, and hopefully although I reckon is so basic effort I am hoping my trial will please you.
As I wrote this was a request from Elfenone, to try to take part at the Dragon stuff contest (don't know really if I will enter... as I said this is very , too very basic piece for any contest).
My time is always very limited so I had to complete this quicker than I was hoping for.
Basically, I spent yesterday to make it and today I just put some final touch while I was relaxing in the countryside.
It's hard to do something neat with no tablet! Mouse isn't really the best way to create this (or maybe it's just that I am crap ;)) but I came up with something at least.
It was a really nice way to experiment new horizon journey :)
Thank you sweet lady, for pushing me at this :)
Hugs to everyone, Meli :)

Awesome! I don't think this is 'simply basic' in the least. In fact, I think you've done one incredible job and definitely should enter the contest. I love the attention to detail and colour in this piece. Fantastic artwork!

Meli...Your Poem Has Been Felt By This Moment As I Read It. "Give Peace A Chance" Your Artwork Is Well Portrayed In Art And Words!

Here your dragon is! You did great job, Meli! Beautiful colors! And I like a lot of his wings - and the rider looks so wonderful :-) You should be proud of your painting skill with mouse! hugs

interesting to say the least. It looks somewhat like a collage because of the various textures. Then there are manga influences as well.

A very storybook Illustrated effect. Maybe if I get some time, a dragon might . .scratch that, That's a long way from blank canvas!! You are definitely NOT crap dear. All your gestures like this are always loved by all and received with open arms. 7 hours is a long commitment for your precious time spent. A fine work.

You could be an absolutely amazing cartoonist if that were your goal Meli... you have more than enough drawing talent to make it work. You also have a great deal of imagination to back up the talent... the perfect combination! Great work on this my dear.

You can touch,what you want, it will turned to gold.

Absolutely breathtaking! Has a 3D effect that make this Pop out and say "Look At Me"! Bravo Meli!

The style and technique are great! You are right: a mouse is not the easiest way to go. I did a wizard with my mouse and it was hard to work. Check it out here at "Rosity on my last gallery page. It was one of my first posts here. I like how this looks though. This would make a great image for a Grimms fairy tale.

Wow, Meli! Fantastico lavoro! Che bello averti ancora con noi! :)
