five heads are better than one ;)

Rendered in 3D Studio Max. Photoshop work over 2 hours.

The Dragon was rendered 5 times and stitched together to make the 5 headed monstrosity u see before u.

all the textures for the skulls were added freehand in Photoshop

the planet and sky were created in Photoshop.

I fixed a lot of the lighting and shadow issues in Photoshop, mainly due to the 5 renders casting different shadows on the body but only using one body render so had to add them all back in.

----- ----- -----

It took me ages to get all the lighting right in this scene *gah* and I still don't think its right :(

I was going to add in lots of colour bu I really like the muted subdued and ultimately dark feel to this piece. The blue of the eyes really stand out for me in this. Real evil, just the way five headed demon serpents should be ;)

copy reduced in size from print resolution original. Print to come soon.

This is simply exquisite. There are not many well-done five-headed dragons out there, and this is certainly the most polished one I have seen. Excellent work with this one.
