Many thanks for the votes and comments. Thanks for pointing out my mistakes which I even didn't see I tried to spot them all before posting. Will try to avoid them (or similar) in the next round
Congrats to my opponent. Beth did a great job and I was really surprised when I saw the votes difference. I thought it's gonna be closer.
Anyway here are my ext used to create this image and I would love to see yours.
Hope this topic will survive till the final.

the last "/" avoids that it's threaded as image. looks like you can't used place linked images from imageshack ...

awesome job on your chop tesore! one of my favorites

here was my external bg for anyone who wanted to see it, i originally changed it a lot and included a volcano in the bottom right but decided to revert it to keep it a little more simple

other than that the bird was entirely source...

A few comments on my entry asked about how much of the source I used for the dragon, so I figured I would post up my externals. The external dragon here is the template I used, and I ended up keeping the inner mouth and the large horns. The rest of the dragon was created from the source using the external as a template.

Here's my externals. Finding images similar to the source gives additional options that could be hard from using the source only.

1st prize goes to Tommeken who was the only one (?) who remembered Alan-a-Dale from the Robin Hood movie by Disney.

Thank you Kittie! See you in H2H next year, right?
