 tongue firmly planted in cheek here...taking advantage of Jon's Welsh heritage, collection of dragon figurines, including a knight, and him. Make his armour the same colour as his electric blue Sunfire, put in a silly-looking dragon and Bob's yer uncle...but on a deeper level it's all about good vs evil. Which though is the good and which the evil? Just because the knight and I are both humans, does that make him intrinsically good or fighting on my behalf? Or is it the dragon who is my protector, risking impalement and possibly extinction in his own quest to save me? Who knows? And in this day and age, does anyone really care?

Greetings from the Critique Club!
I love your sense of humor and whimsy. The winter landscape really works well with the ghost like characters. I'm going with the dragon as the good guy ... there isn't enough magic in our practical world. That being said, the dragon's eye could be bigger and his teeth sharper. Of course, if he's been saving a damsel in distress a few too many times ... well that would explain the worn teeth. Ha! Nice work with the textures and colors to make it feel realistic and balanced.

I had no idea how people were getting photos like this, thanks for the tutorial. I thought some of the entries had to be done by hand because they looked so perfect.
