Artist's Comments

This image was inspired by the summertime of my childhood. A time when, if I swung as high as I dared and closed my eyes tightly, it felt as if I were flying with the wings of a Dragon. Of course gravity would always grab hold and bring me back to earth, but it could never take that moment, or that feeling away from me entirely.

This was originally created for a Renderosity Magazine cover contest. The theme for the contest was Imagination. I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making it.

A Poser, Bryce, Photoshop composition.

Totally brings back memories. It's an awesome piece! In a time where childhood imagination ran wild and the world seemed a bit more enjoyable. Thanks for sharing with us.

I know what you're talking about. I used to swing as high as I'd dare too, even higher than the tree in front of the swing. Then just leaning back and get into some kind of trance, especially with a lot of oil lamps lit across a dark garden.

Wonderfull composition, though IMO there are some points within the 3D render here and there that could be improved (which you undoubtedly already know about) ;) (Wink)
The image has quite an odd feeling, as some parts look more like a painting than actual 3D, but the overall effect is spectacular. I especially Love the dragons in the sky. But then again, I always loved dragons, such fantastic creatures of the imagination.

This is a definete one to my favourites.
