| Since it is not a downloaded clipart, but something I created by myself specially for that entry, I think it is legal. At least, this is my understanding of the rules, and a shared opinion in several threads in the forums. |
|
|
|
07/28/2010 02:35:54 PM |
* The flame: I created the fire texture using the "difference clouds" tool, then it was a *lot* of various painting, masking, wave and gradient effects.
Is that legal, or did it start as a photogragh? Looks like the cover of a book! |

|
| Photographer found comment helpful. |
|
|
07/22/2010 09:55:25 AM |
| This is a fantastic composition! Love the details in this image from the textured skin of the three headed dragon to the blast of fire to the knight who stands at the ready as the sun sets on the horizon and even the other dragnoid beast that stands on the far island. Composition is good and strong with a story to tell - St. George battling the dragon or just a lone knight making a stand against evil represented by the dragon. A small nit is that I wish the dragon's eyes had more 'life' to them. They appear dull and flat - maybe taking a picture of a lizard eye or gator to paste onto the dragon's eyes would give it more of a life-like appearance. Even though I do think this is a very strong composition and rate it in the high above average image I still wish it could have looked a little less like an illustration and a touch more photographic in nature - more life-like eyes would have been one way to do it...hmmm, the other though is to use more natural tones on the skin of the dragon as in what color tones one would actually see on say lizards and such (of course one could counter that the dragon is SUPPOSED to be a fantastic beast and that blue colors are possible because it places them outside the realm of normal) |

My favorite part to it is that there's another beast on the right that is just there! That's a very nice touch.
