Can't stop drawing Dragons

I have this small chalk ware desk dragon that sits by my work table. I scanned a pencil sketch of him into Photoshop and added layers,filters, digital drawing details until a finished image appeared
He just woke up but it seems he has been asleep for so long that the forest grew right over him.

Just a bunch

Walking on a local beach looking for things to photograph I came across this broken shell nestled in the rocks,
I decided it would make a cool little planter[ digitally of course] with some flowers added.

Fall brings the spiders out.

As the weather starts to get cooler here in the Pacific Northwest the garden spiders start to spin their webs across the bushes and trees and even your doorway [ so that you walk out in the morning and get a face full of web ]
I love to go out with my camera to take photos of these spiders and their webs especially when they have dew on them ,then I use these images in my digital art.
One of my creation is called Space Spider ,I took the spider out of her web and put her up into the sky.

The Island at the edge of the world

There is an island on the edge of the world...
last safe haven for all the mythical creatures, Dragons,Unicorns,Fairies,Elves and mermaids all live here in isolation and safety.
This island is not on any maps.
It can sometimes be seen in the early morning mist for a second or two before it disappears.

Draco

I love Dragons....ever since I was a little kid I used to draw them all the time and read any dragon stories.
Since I got back to my art recently I realized I had not done any dragons in my digital work.
So here is Draco, done with my pen tablet in photoshop
