haha thanks! I didn't realize I had a recognizable style but I guess its a good thing and thanks Madamemonty, I put a lot of time into the SBS and still it could be way more complicated than I had time to explain.

Very clever, and nice work on the sbs too!!

Thank you JerseyAce! I think thats the first time I've ever gotten "clever"

Absolutely fantastic! Great lighting!

Your dragon has some nice work, but what I really like is how you integrated it into the background sources - nice lighting effects.
