really super picture. excellent in expression and colours, it is a very lovely and dynamic portrayal, depicting such a legendary scene. the father of the real dracula (dragon). had this on his shield and motif.

    Thank you for such a complimentary review. Interesting that the real Count Dracular had this emblem. It was interesting the reading I did of where the idea of dragons came from as they are worldwide. Each culture seems to have their own version. .

    yes was the order of the dragon (dracul) vlad the impaler was the 'son of the dragon' dracula. the sign was a christian cross with a dragon. i visited his real house in romania at the time not a tourist attraction and left unchanged from the 15th century. also i saw a saint george sculpture in finland. your vision brings it to life..

    I bet the house was very interesting if never changed since 15th century. I love history and find people's stories fascinating. Thank you.

i like your medieval approach on this. i do suggest that the right arm should be out some since it appears that the spear is in mid air. im assuming that since the he is not touching right now. the facial expressions on both him, ghost in background and horse is ok. i know thru future practice you will get better. the blend of colors is great. the shading is good. the depth is good. the creation is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. creative approach and great job overall.

    Thank you for that review i thought it hilarious, loved the comments. Don't know which was best never laughed so much . First the hand is supposed to be holding the spear. I forgot to white it out and paint over the shaft. I will correct it asap. The ghost is .. wait for it.. the beautiful princess he just rescued. The rest I take as a compliment ... as you say I will get better.. Well I hope so. Thanks again and for that rating. :)
