Making of “My Prince”

my prince photoshop work

Check out the Making of "My Prince" Using PhotoSHOP CS3. The girl in the picture is a young witch with mysterious magic, the baby dragon is her pet. The baby dragon looks up to the sky naively, strains the leash, and wants to fly into an adventure. Overall, I want to create a peaceful scene, just like we are holding our own pets, and that makes you feel warm, or even like the feel of pride.
