Excellent job! The Dragon has one loss now but I’m sure he’ll regain his title soon. The detail is amazing. Your GSP is also great!

This looks absolutely amazing! The detail is incredible. At first glance, it looks like a photograph. However, when I looked at your work in progress, it was apparent that you put hours on work in this piece. Congratulations!

Simply divine! One would expect to spend a lifetime of practice to achieve this level of perfection. However, from mayfong’s profile, she has been working with digital medium for only about 9 months!?! I envy and admire the talent!
