Image description

Do we actually know everything about dragons?

Much like fireflies, dragons also use their ability to spit fire in order to communicate from far distance.

After a long travel, the airborne dragon is coming back home, and is saying it out loud. The gigantic earthborne queen dragon is showing high relief.

Hundreds of point lights are about to twinkle like stars.

Description of how this image was created

The volcano is simply a cone with a tweaked map based upon a lava flow photograph. The lava all around is 3D. Of course, there are no true volumetric effects, only billboarded particles with appropriate textures.

This picture is not meant to depict a luminous message. Well... maybe.

Comments by members when rating this image

1.	31-08-2009	in the PC gaming world, the 'stretching' of the surface texture would be considered as 'bad', However, I think you've tried to use it at an advantage here which almost works.
2.	31-08-2009	Definitely not your best work.
3.	17-08-2009	The volcano has too high an ambient and the mountains seem lacking in width, to me.
