Description
A great green dragon perches upon a rocky outcropping above a steamy jungle.
This is the next in my fantasy art series on dragons. In RPGs, Green dragons are a mid sized dragon that breath toxic fumes (hence the green smoke billowing from the dragon's nostrils).
About how I create my artwork:
Rather than traditional forms of art such as painting or photography, I use a computer to create my images. It's called 3D Rendering and works like so: I make a scene by sculpting and arranging digital models in a virtual 3D space. After stipulating lighting and atmospheric effects, I have the computer create a simulated environment from which I take a virtual snap shot of the scene. Then, using image editing software and something more akin to traditional painting techniques (via a Wacom tablet), I go over the work adjusting colors, adding brushwork, painting in details, etc. to produce the final image. Software I use includes: Sculptris, ZBrush, Blender3d, Vue, Daz Studio, and GIMP.
Thanks for looking!

Nice work, thank you for the description. I have been using photoshop and would like to start working with 3d rendering, what program do you use?
Daniel Eskridge replied:
Thanks, Michele! I use quite a number of 3d programs, mostly though I use Vue, Sculptris, Zbrush, and Poser.

When looking at this image I'm reminded of one of my favorite shows, Game of Thrones...I can't wait to see what the dragons will do in the upcoming season! I love the clouds in the sky, they are so realistic and beautiful...and I envy the view that that dragon must have, looking out over that incredible landscape. Very well done!
