Description
Finally catching up on projects again.
Taken a while to finish this one, as the postwork took longer to complete than anticipated.
The picture is based around recent personal experience, in that no matter how intimidating the monster, skill, training and self-belief will always prevail.
A huge thank you to all who continue to support my work on this site.
Comments always very welcome.

Excellent composition and I particularly like the masterful work on the cloth. Well done!
very nice work
wow, talk about photorealism!
This really is a wonderful scene Dean, great looking character and pose, and the dress looks amazing. Great to see a new image from you, 5+++ and fav. Have a great weekend.
So good to see you posting again Deane!! An OH MY, WHAT an image!!!! (Excuse me, now I have to find my jaw again.. somewhere on the floor I guess..)
Outstanding render and composition, great effects and realism, beautiful!!
Que obra maravilhosa meu amigo, um realismo incrivel, soberba em todos os aspectos, aplausos (5)
A very brave character. Beautiful posing and atmosphere. She is certainly entering a realm of greatest peril and is at all certain if she will come out again. But then again, do we know for certain that the dragon's plans are for ill?
Superbly done!
Fantastic image Deane!!!
Beautiful image!!! Very nice postwork indeed!
Excellent as always!!
Beautiful render and character!!!!!
A totally incredible work of art! You continue to amaze me!
Great idea and style Dean, nicely done. Just one pointer if I may, her left armpit is lacking some shadow and detail. Apart from that, tidy work. Did you get the next chapters of the book I sent you?
A long time in the waiting, but well worth it ! a truely stunning picture. Love the effects, now too start on the next project ? . best wishes my friend.
Superb atmosphere and lighting tones. Beautiful character. Great pose and expression. Isn't she too much dressed to fight with confidence? 8-) Top work.
Wow! stunning work. I love your work on the temple. most excellent!!
Superb image with great light colour and attention to detail....
The postwork cloth wrinkles give this scene that hand painted look. A very well produced image! Whew! Its comforting to know she's not a mohel.
Yet another stunner. :)
Fantastic work and image
Holy Cow!!!!! This is fantastic!!! She looks amazing, and her dress is gorgeous. Spot on perfect image. An easy fav addition for me. Bravo!!!!
Splendid realization! Wonderful drees and lighting!!!
Outstanding character and fantastic post here. I thought it was a photograph at first...excellent.

Oh yeah, this is one dragon that's going to end up in little pieces. Fabulous artwork, love the softness of it all, adds a wonderful mood. Sweet!!!
Very beautiful and very nice image.
What exquisite work Deane. The cloth looks so soft and realistic. Such magnificent detail and a real pleasure to view. Exellent Sir! (My apologies for the lateness of my comment) Steve :o)
