The Hatchling

Digital work using both Painter and Photoshop. Reference was photo I took of Ghosttrin.

Close up detail can be seen here.

I like some of the pictures to have a connection or a bit of a story to connect them. In this case, the towers in the backround are connected to the towers in the picture Let Sleeping Dragons Lie. In that case, the dragon is part of the protection of the towers. The dragons that do this are raised by hand to be as tame as it is possible to be with a dragon. The eggs for this are raided from dragon nests. Which will lead to be another picture at some point in the future.

[Edit 07-04-09] Another one I went back to a year later and substantially refined to bring up to date.

Now available in the UK as a greetings card from Moondragon Cards.
