"...He could feel the pull...feel his soul tugging, compelling him on to a path that so few had followed. Was this the way, was this what he wanted all along? A part of him fought the feelings churning inside...but still his soul pulled...pulled untill his mind realized that he could not fight any longer...he could not fight what he was, he could not fight against what he desired...the soul of a dragon is a powerful force and soon he would find that he could do nothing more then give into the beast within..."

This is a peice I did for my friend, Dragon's, birthday (yes, that is him in the picture xD ) :3 I was greatly inspired by a photograph of him taken by the OH so very talented Jaqui Wujec - You can find more of her work over at: [link] - If you roll over the image above you can see the original photo she took that I had painted over for this peice.

I guess you could call this a photo manipulation...but I decided that there was so much work done to the original image that I'd place it under the digital art catagory instead.

But well...this was another experiment for me...and I am rather fond of the results. Unfortunatly, though, the original comp I did this on used an LCD monitor...so this image may appear REALLY dark to you...a lot of the detail was lost...which is rather upsetting...but it's only like that on some computers. Hopefully it's not tooo bad o_o;;

Anyways...yea...that is all XD Enjoy folks! And make sure you stop by Jaqui's page and give her mad props for her awsome photography talent ^__~

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

Life is the art of drawing without an eraser.
