It's unbelievable what you're able to do with just 6 colors. Amazing!

Even a blind squirrel is right twice a day.

Nice work on this Patrick but those clouds are bugging me. They have nice form, but since you didn't stay true to the light sourcing you used for the main elements they feel very flat and pasted on, not like they're actually in the background. I'm sure this will do well nontheless

Fantastic work. I didn't even notice the dog until I was trying to figure out where the blueish color was.

If this doesn't win at least a spot next weekend I will be furiously mad. Like red hot mad.

This is freakin' epic.

I didn't notice the dog until I read this comment!

This design is amazing. I want the shirt, and I also want a dragon friend to go adventuring with in my hot-air balloon.

This almost achieves the warm feelings I got back in the day from Anne McCaffrey and Byron Priess. Thanks.

Awesome is as awesome does. And though I understand what tjost is saying about the clouds, my initial impression was that it was in the middle of a stormy sky and the varying light sources for those clouds were lightning/electrical storms within it. Gorgeous. GMV

I'm confused about the flying/jumping snake...don't dragons require wings? Love the design, but that's bugging me.

All who wander are not lost.

It's in the style of a Chinese dragon. The problem there is that Chinese dragons are more typically associated with water. :P

Dragonball, imo!

Back to the design at hand, simply amazing. The first purchase I made on this site was your submission for "Robots Save The World". I noticed someone said it would be another shirt to add to their closet of designs by you. I am truly seeing what they meant, anyone would be crazy to not have a closet full of your designs! Great job and keep up the good work!

On a side note, I cried a bit when your daydream science experiment shirt didn't win

I have just purchased your design because I need a woot to vote in the next derby. Lucky for me, this was the shirt available.

I love your fire and your style! I love dragons, too! I'm excited about wearing your design! I can't wait for it to arrive!

Thanks,
Brushfire
