Tomorrow being the Chinese New Year and this the turn of the dragon. A wood dragon to be precise but for this water dragon (and all dragons) the runes look good:
Dragons may find this year to be a soothing journey of self-reflection and personal growth. As their inner energy surges, it is the perfect time for Dragons to gently explore new interests or cultivate their current passions with care.
And so I gave my inner energy a whirl in the zenbrush3 app. The difficult part is not aiming to draw anything i.e. not letting anything take form even with a theme behind it
Layering with rotated, enlarged, superimposed replicas, varying the shades and contrasts as well as giving it a darker background as the dragon emerging from the wood from which it is made.
The Wood Dragon embodies a fusion of the courageous and ambitious spirit of dragons, with the nurturing qualities associated with wood as an element.
The dragon has supernatural power, able to surge into high sky and dive into deep water.
In portrait rotation, the dragon seems to be rising from out of the water
Though I think I prefer the landscape aspect with the gold bar signifying that the dragon is a revered and auspicious animal (and the only mythical one to be included in the Chinese horoscope).
龙年快乐 — Happy year of the Dragon!
Photoshop Friday and having some fun with edits and apps!
