I agree with the others about requesting a variant without the dragon. I'm not really into dragons, but the overall scene is really nice here, and I would love it without the dragon. Still a quality piece though, Ryan. |

This has really grown on me since using it as a wallpaper on my phone. I love dragons anyway, and the way the clouds are illuminated from behind gives a feeling of brightness but still allows good contrast with icons. A lovely piece of artwork that is also practical to use. |

First comment on the site: I must say I've been using your free stuff forever and finally got a lifetime membership. I immediately downloaded all the images in all screen sizes and I'm quite impressed. Well worth the lifetime membership price. As for your computer crashing mid render: you might wanna look into teamviewer.com. its free, and u could remotely access your computer while away from home to check
up on it. |

I live in Muskegon, Mi. which is right on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. We have Pere Marquette Park, only one of dozens of beaches where residents can swim in gorgeously clean water. It would be so cool to see that dragon in the night sky over our lighthouse on the breakwater. Wow! Beautiful work as always, Ryan! Another 10! |

I don't understand why so many people are saying, "You need the dragon."
By producing a pickle jar version without the dragon, for the people that want a shot of just the clouds, planets, etc. isn't ruining any of the with-dragon photos, of which there are now three.
Why is it so bad that a few of us want a shot without a dragon stealing the focus? It's just for the pickle jar. |

lots of men dissapear. I have to say I really love this new render of yours. I do like both the beach and sky scene, but I prefer the latter. I like the yellow/orange color in the beach one but I think the sky scene feels more natural. I really like the clouds in the sky version but you really need to get those sun shafts in there like how the beach scene is, then it would be perfect! As a side note, I'm not really sure why there is even a discussion about the dragon being in the image. That is the focal point of this piece, and the artist named it based on this fact. Why people think not having the dragon is even an option is beyond me...Take the dragon out and there is not much to look at (no offense to the artist, it would still look good, just not nearly as interesting). |

I agree with Chris B. You need the Dragon. It makes the whole picture. Without it there would be no interest,just another cloud or beach picture. The dragon sparks our imagination. |

"Dragon-free" |
Fri August 10, 2012 at 8:44 pm
|
I read some of the comments. If you do a dragon-free version, I'm putting in my vote for the beach version to be dragon-free. It is such a gorgeous scenery! However, I do feel that it would lack something without the dragon because then would lose a focal point for the scenery so then you'd almost have to add something else. Maybe a sailboat or some seagulls or something?? |

I love that pickle-jar version with the beach! The water is just gorgeous - the perfect aquamarine shade! I only wish there was a little "foam" at the edge of the water to make it look more realistic though...

"failed render" |
Fri August 10, 2012 at 2:29 pm

I recommend you setup a remote access application (most support tablets & smart phones) on your render systems so you can check in while you're away. Could save days/weeks if you are able to restart the render right away instead of waiting until you return home. |

Both are great and will go on my desktop rotation. If I could have my own way however, I would love a to have the beach scene without the dragon. I lose myself in these pictures (some people meditate, I look at DB images) and find any sentient being a little too distracting! |

Thu August 9, 2012 at 11:45 am

I cant believe how terrible the triple monitor versions come out. You need to get three monitors to test these. The 5760x1080 looks like a dragon and a sun. The ghosting of the clouds was my favorite part of the entire image. The 5760 users got screwed out of looking at them. I loved the 1920x1080. For how long it takes to turn these into triple monitor renders, i've been a very disappointed lifetime member. |

First of all, thank you for reading the FAQ. It is skipped all too often.
I still turn down 99.9% of all commission work. This is the only one I have attempted since the 90's.
This piece was for someone that I genuinely respect (Elon Musk) and I wanted to do it. In the end, however, the commission fell through and I was able to share it with the folks who have kept me working these past 14 years. |

"Commission work?" |
Thu August 9, 2012 at 6:14 am

I'm kind of confused about the commission work, not that it's really my buisness but just wanted to point out in the FAQ of the website it says...
"Do you do commission work?
No, the members gallery keeps me too busy to accept any outside projects. I set up the members gallery so I could work for the public. Since they pay my salary, I would be cheating them if I took time away from the members gallery to work on outside projects."
Just find it strange that this contradicts the FAQ, either way - love the piece, and really like the dragon! |

"Gallery Version is still the winner" |
Wed August 8, 2012 at 8:00 pm

I personally don't think it would look right w/out the dragon, but that's just me. When the people are added, 75% of the time I think it looks just as good with or without them, but this one needs it I think.
The lack of clouds takes away from the mysterious magical nature of the piece and having the beach that close makes it look like it is happening a couple hundred feet off of the ground, rather than a few thousand feet up close to the stars and the edge of our planet.
The one with more clouds looks alright, but I prefer the muted softer clouds in this piece that focus the attention on the dragon, sun, & planets. |

I agree that this image would be kinda plain without the dragon. I don't really get why people want it removed, especially when it's the centerpiece of the image.
I think I like the firstclouds pickle jar version better than the gallery version. I don't like the beach in the beach version. I like how the sun looks yellower in the beach image... maybe I'd like the beach image as a whole if the beach was better looking. |

"Why not?" |
Wed August 8, 2012 at 1:06 pm
|
So if the post contained any description (blue, day, etc.) it automatically rules out any different pictures that go against the title? I don't see how that makes any sense, nor does it correlate with past backgrounds (with numerous day / night scenes, with subtle adjustments -- including the addition of additional figures, etc.)
Or perhaps some people have different taste? It's not that difficult to understand why some of us would like to see an image without a dragon -- especially such a beautiful image. Bright, cloudy, deep scenes such as these are kind of rare on DigitalBlasphemy, and this is one of them.
Thankfully, Ryan sometimes develops picklejar versions of images for those of us that have different taste. :) |

Ryan,
I simply like the view of nature itself, or space, or planetscapes, etc.
I'm not a fan of seeing, say, space stations, roads, dragons, people, and so on. Normally, I totally don't mind in a lot of pictures -- however, this one, the scenery just looks gorgeous and it feels like the dragon steals the attention.
I know adding people and the like can add a sense of scale, but... why? Sometimes, I love just how captivating the image is as a whole, without a central focus.
This is why I made a request for a piece without the dragon. :) |

This is preposterous! How can you have a "Year of the Dragon" without a dragon? Personally, I don't think the great artists of the past ever asked the viewing public how they felt about their works of art. Just imagine how Vincent van Gogh would've felt if his fans told him that they liked the background, but the "Irises" or the "Sunflowers" had to go. |

"Regarding the Dragon" |
Tue August 7, 2012 at 6:57 pm

I like the dragon myself, but I can definitely see the desire some have for one without.
Basically, it kind of comes down to the space vs. planet scape debate you've mentioned having with some images. I think some prefer just the amazing background, in which case something else in the foreground just "gets in the way."
This would be particularly true in this case if they aren't attached to the theme. The dragon would detract from the image for those who want to imagine a 1st person perspective rather than 3rd.

Ryan, you have already stated that the theme is space exploration, and Mars is featured prominently here with the other aligned planets. I must admit that I've been distracted by the landing of MSL Curiosity lately, and by the neck-and-neck Olympic race between China and the US. I see the three aligned planets as Gold, Silver, and Bronze with the Chinese dragon in pursuit. Intentional or coincidental? We can never tell what is going on inside your head. |

and my Wife rarely comments when I change my wallpapers so much, but she really liked this one, as she did with your other dragon piece... Don't tell her, but I always knew she was a closet nerd ;)
It is really cool how everything is lined up and the milky-way is expanding out like the dragon's breath. I am partial to European/American dragons, but the Chinese ones are more wise/wisdom/magic related than the general death & destruction we are used to so thumbs up!
If you are really interested in doing pickle jars for this one you could always swap the dragon for the golden one, maybe with a little dragonling flying next to him. or if you're sticking to sets of three, you could add the mother too. No real need to do it of course, but it would be cool. |

Since this was a commissioned piece I included a few things for a specific reason. The sun is seen through the dragon itself, the "red sun" is actually Mars (not to scale), with Jupiter beyond. The theme of the piece is space exploration. |

"Wings" |

The traditional Chinese dragon does not have wings. Its powers are mystical and thus a dragon does not need wings to fly or to control the water. Wings here would be inappropriate. |

I'd like to be able to see more definition on the dragon, either by reducing the sunlight glare or perhaps move the dragon out of the suns direct light.
and in Asian mythology, dragons don't have wings. "Chinese dragons are occasionally depicted with bat-like wings growing out of the front limbs, but most do not have wings, as their ability to fly (and control rain/water, etc.) are mystical and not seen as a result of their physical attributes."

On it's own it's a great piece. It shares though, a trait with Subartic. Where you could have three definite different pieces. One without the dragon, one with the dragon, and one with a different creature or modified dragon (with wings).

My first impression, like ChrisSpera's was of the Red Star of Pern. Of course the general shape of the dragon and the fact that he is riderless pretty much puts that theory to rest.

Reminds me of a little game i played recently... Terraria. There are flying dragons in that too. Really nice piece Ryan, but I have no idea who it was for... |

I agree that a little tweaking would make the dragon stand out a little more. But either way, it's really cool. Hoping for a triple display version. |

First off, awesome render! Has an amazing feeling of depth. You can also never go wrong with dragons.
As for a guess I'll stab and say Richard Branson for a few reasons. It involves space which we all know he's obsessed with. The dragon thing is also big for him.
On a side note am I the only person that at one point heard the theme for the Neverending Story in their head? |

I bet the original recipient was supposed to be someone at NASA since I see a red planet/star in the distance..... the Mars landing is taking place next week. (Long shot guess I know)
Cool image still. |

I'm a dragon so I like this a lot! Do wish the backlight was a little less so you could see the dragon better. :) |

This piece started out as a commission for a rather well-known individual, but for reasons beyond my control I was never able to deliver it as a private piece. I thought the idea behind it was pretty cool however so I went ahead and fleshed it out. I wonder if anyone can guess who the original recipient was supposed to be... |
