Description

My mighty friend,
here we are:
the sky's yours,
for me to ride it.
Your noble back will be my seat,
your flaming breathe
will be my weapon.
We're the warriors
that will keep safe
the world below,
so let's be brave:
no fears of falling,
and open eyes,
we'll have our battles
we'll have our troubles...
In you I put my trust in full,
I know you ain't gonna let
nobody hurt
nor me, nor anyone
of those down there
who watch above
with confidence.
Those people
good,
our frajile friends,
feel in their core
we're fightin there
to keep protectin their days
of love,
lettin them free
to live their lives
with hopes of peace
and towns with flowers,
while up for us
there are wild ridings...

Painted in Photoshop 7, starting with a blank scratch, with mouse only. 7 hours of work aprox..
Dedicated to Elfenone :) Hope I did nicely enough to please your challengin task :) Kiss :)
-----------------------
This is sort of new for me: new is the subject, that I never properly tried before (I love fantasy, but it's not really my realm), new is the style, kind cartoonish, and hopefully although I reckon is so basic effort I am hoping my trial will please you.
As I wrote this was a request from Elfenone, to try to take part at the Dragon stuff contest (don't know really if I will enter... as I said this is very , too very basic piece for any contest).
My time is always very limited so I had to complete this quicker than I was hoping for.
Basically, I spent yesterday to make it and today I just put some final touch while I was relaxing in the countryside.
It's hard to do something neat with no tablet! Mouse isn't really the best way to create this (or maybe it's just that I am crap ;)) but I came up with something at least.
It was a really nice way to experiment new horizon journey :)
Thank you sweet lady, for pushing me at this :)
Hugs to everyone, Meli :)

Ma sei bravissima con photoshop e i brushes, complimenti. Non ho parole, non so neppure come potrei partire a realizzare un'immagine del genere. Bravissima, complimenti davvero!
Meli you are such an inspiration to us all. From artwork to your words you have such a way that makes everything come alive. I love this piece of fantasty artwork. The colors, the action and the characters. Truely spectacular.

You get this in that Dragon contest!Now! Do not humble yourself over this image Meli....It's fantastic.
you did amazingly well with just a mouse! your talent shows through with great colors & textures, rises way above anything i would consider "crap" dear meli :]lol
impressive work Meli! be proud. gorgeous composition .
A beautiful young Woman and a mighty Dragon . . . ! An excellent Scene accompanied by wonderful Lyrics . . . ! "Vote . . . !"
Yeah, very cool picture, great colors. I could never do anything like that with a mouse, you should talk someone into giving you a tablet for christmas ;) The small wacom things are already really neat and not that expensive.
It reminds me of Valentina's work... also Annika (Freyah) :-) You have quite a good combination of colours here, nothing too bright and jarring :-) You need more practice in placing typography so it doesn't compete with its background, but that will come with practice :-) What impresses me about this is that you managed it with just a mouse... oh man, that would do my head in now, no way could I go back to that! Thanks for sharing this hon, and hope we get to chat soon as it's been a whole six months now :P hugs
And I think this is really impressive sweet Meli!! Especially since it's been done with a mouse only! What patience and talent it requires! U rock sweety-pie! :)

A beautiful fantasy painting !

I can not imagine working that drawing with a mouse. Great color and style. Most excellent young Lady!
Oh Wow..and look where I fall in the line of comments.. to have such an honor to see such a beautiful drawing with such a beautiful poem and all mouse done.. It's amazing and not only that..it's magical! I will cherish this forever.. I love it.. and I love you my friend.. You are one amazingly precious person Meli. HUGS How storybook perfect and beautiful!!! (Votes too)
Ohh, a new side of your art Meli, a fantastic style that seems to fit you. Expressive and wonderfully colored. Done with the mouse only, that impresses me! You have to talk to Santa so he brings you a Wacom for Christmas. or is it so that you have one at your other computer?
excellent image !! cordialement Alain
