DUDE, this is one of your best submissions ever! It's funny because I'm trying to think about which mythical creature you are emulating. I really don't think you're trying to emulate anything. It's simply just a fantastic picture that took a truly creative mind to make. It looks like it has the head of a beetle and the tail of, maybe a scorpion? Speaking of the tail, I love how it turns into little blue flames at the end.

It looks like it has insect legs on its back! I keep thinking this is like a dragon, although that might only be because this thing breathes fire. Even the background is absolutely flawless. It looks like this creature is going through Hell or resides there or something. The fire looks fairly solid. It's just a wonderful picture in every way!

Amazing!

Truly Beautiful!
