Author's Comments

I wanted to make another drawing of the dragon of plants. I just love the way he looks. He really is like a a ancient old tree. I had this concept in my head for a while now.

It was about 6 hours of work.

i like how u didnt let the background just fade into the back and still gave it texture, including the texture to the objects of course, and also, tree or dragon, u decide :)

"Creative"

date: October 5, 2009

I think this is my favorite piece of art from you (that i've seen). Not only does it look excellent, the best part is that it's creative. The only thing that could be better is the cliff edge without the grass is a little bit run together with the distant fields, which messes up the depth a little bit. That aside i think that the creativity and kickass look redeems it, 5/5, 9/10 stars.

Archir, seriously, ever considered talking to a few people about maybe doing covers or collaborating your ideas with an author? Very lovely scene, almost seems like something you would dream of.

"Its so creative my head is gonna explode!"

by: Chezza
date: September 11, 2009

Two obvious non original objects you expect to see in medieval based fantasy worlds. Plenty of trees and the odd dragon. But then you mash them up into a mesh and you got yourself a GREAT new addition for the world I am sure someone will probably steal and not give honest credit for.

I mean there are red(generally fire), green(generally normal), blue(generally cold), white(Generally Ice or stone), black(death or elite) and sometimes brown dragons. Next step, dragons with many heads, dragons which are more pure elemental based (kinda like a phoenix) and nexus or spirit sort of dragons.
Then! There is a tree dragon! Very mystical and Original! This picture here can suit a book cover. Good work.

"Unique..."

date: September 10, 2009

...at least for me. Haven't seen a tree-dragon depicted anywhere before in my life.
Very fueling for the imagination indeed.
I hope this picture inspires future video game creators, creatures as unique as these could make a really nice addition to any game.

The most amazing thing about this picture is probably the fact, that you finished it in just 6 hours. You're swift, girl!

"awesome!"

date: July 5, 2009

I love dragons, and this is a really cool concept! My only beef though is with the horizon line - it merges together too much - there needs to be a stronger line separation to split the two.

other than that cool stuff!

Hey seriously, you arts are truly amazing.
Your "A special moment" gives a pleasant peaceful kind of feeling. The dragon looks wise too :)

Lol with art like this im guessing youre already totally famous on dA or some place like that. Good work bud, your dragons kick ass :]

Author's Response:

No i'm not extremely famous. I don't have 100000 pageviews or anything.
I'm avarage. i've been on da for 3 years and i have 50000 pageviews a friend of mine has been on da just as long but he has
115000 pageviews. Just because he makes fanart.
On Da you get famous for fanart. Not for stuff like this.
