What an attractive image and what a very good story too. Like the use of colours in this work and how you have blend them together. Certainly would say there are a rainbow of colours being shown. The serpent looks a bit like a fish and a mammal at the same time, but being a fantasy image can take on any shape he likes. Very attractive and I am sure many young children would like the image and the tale.

    Thank you, Your review is much appreciated. I see Ngalyod shape shifting, as many native gods do. There are more than one animal at once, the fish/turtle and the Snake/dragon seem to emerge from the same tailless body in different directions.

Nice story. It's great. The picture is a flurry of beautiful colors. Two creatures one at each end. Very nice creativity and image, so bright and cheery. Lovely image done well.

I haven't seen digital art quite like this before. My fiance does digital art on her tablet, but it's very different. I love the mythology behind this painting, you sure have captured the spirit

    Thank you very much!
    This is a special program which enables me to paint like I would on a traditional canvas. If your finance is interested check out ArtRage 4.0.5 by Ambient Design.

    I do not know if there is a free tail. But it is available for Window Vista and all later Windows, for apple and i-phone. Google ArtRage by Ambient Design, Click on ArtRage 4, when the page opens there are choices on the left, including i-Pad and i-Phone, you may also visit the ArtRageStore.
    Hope this helps

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


I know of only one artist here who uses glitters in her works!
This one is so visually soothing as it swims towards the cascading falls in a very graceful manner.
He's more like a koi than a serpent with its cute angelic face.
The rendition of colors is so fluid-- they seem to melt and mix...
The rainbow hues are visually cool.
Good luck in the contest!

    Thank you very much for your review and the surprise of such a high rating.
    I am really happy to hear from you! How are you? How are things at the Islands? Many here on FAR got worried. The messages and pictures of the storm are a frightening.

This is such a beautiful and vivid creation, uplifting, pure, innocent with a nice message - it made me smile for sure all the time your color choice is fantastic, the composition based on this wonderful idea is excellent - this would be a great children's story and book - your design is perfect in details, it looks like an enhanced paradise scene - amazing creation, all the best for the contest
